Harris. Tried by jury; verdict In
favor of Plaintiff.
The Criminal docket was taken up
on Monday. Numerous cases nave
been fixed for trial, and thousands
of witnesses have been summoned
This will prove rather steep af1s'l
for the Parish, in the disbursing o.
its small surplus cash fund. 1t is tt

|baye been continued over from yea

tirely, as is the case in several OF tn
country parishes throughout TIT
State. 1t is high time that the re
cord of crime in Rapides, should b.
blotted out.

which will be found elsewhere, hav
reported true bills against thes FOL
lowing parties:
