The weekly exhibitions of science at Prof.

DIR. Quinn and Dr. w. w. Day went out
to st. Anthony Park Friday for a run on
the shoes. They didn't want any plain
work but went into the woods and tried
jumping logs and climbing fences. They
got along all right and started for the road.
just as they reached fence between them
and the highway, milkman drove along
with a sleepy-looking pair of horses. DIR.
Quinn got over the fence all right by crawl!
ing through hole, but DIR. Day thought
he'd Just 90 over the top and show the
milkman how easy man with snOwshoes
on could get out of an orchard. Just as he
got on the top rail the toe of one of his
shoes got tangled up with the rails and he
took a header in snowbank. The racket
woke the horses up and catching sight of
DIR. Quinn, they ran away. filling the air
with frightened milkman and battered cans.
DIR. Day dug his way out of the snOwbank
and climbing into their hack the two snow
shOers started for the city before the milk
man could find out their names. By special
request of the doctors the reporters haven't
said word about the affair.

HOMICIDE.

The news reached Rayville Tuesday
morning that Tom Payne had killed
Burt Nettles. We heard the news just
before the arrival of the train and we
discovered John Nettles dismount from
the train. We went to him and
gathered the following Information:
Gilbert Nettles was at the residence Of
Mrs. Payne, at Girard sitting in the
parlor, that Payne fred from a door
leading into the hall, the ball entering
one temple and coming out the other.
Ebert Nettles was young man of
extraordinary business capacity of his
age and opportunities. He had built
up large business both at Girard and
Oak Ridge; he he'd succeeded in
gaining the confidence of his merchant
in New Orleans and for his prompt
ness he had been enabled to procure
assistance for a small per cent. and
hence had the advantage of most coun>
try merchants. AS to INDUCING in
intoxicating liquors, we never heard Of
him being drunk; he did not gamble,
as we are aware of but was attentive
to business. AS for other habits we
leave our readers to judge for them>
selves. AS for energy and business
sagacity we do not suppose our parish
has ever turned out one Of his equal.
He leaves mother and two brothers
who have our sympathy in their be-
reavement. Deceased was son OF j.
II. and Lizzie v. Nettles. He was
about q years old-Beac0n.
