Brother Breaux of the Abbeville Ne

Brother Breaux of the Abbeville Ne
9idional. is jubilant over an affair which
recently occurred in Vermillion parish,
and in last weeks issue. under the head
ing "Crow, You son of a Cum" followed
by the cut of sorry looking rooster
and prominent display lines, he lets out
his surplus gas as follows:
"The races at Bayou Tigre were the
scene of considerable excitement when
Mr.. Severien Primeaux, a brother to
| SEVERN Primeaux, who was whipped by
| Capt. Lastie Bourque's company OF
"iayhawkers" (regulators). about SIX
weeks ago, snatched IA buggy whip near
at hand, and walking up to the honor
able &? "Captaip,' administered to INN
one of the best horse hlpplngs ever
given to IA human being. AS Prlmeaux
got through he told Bourque: "Now,
sir, whip you single handed. but ynp,
to whip my brother, Lad to rally, force
of hundred or more. Take this ana
go home" Bourque obeyed the com
mand readily, notwithstanding the fact
that number of his men was present,
which clearly proves the cowardlce OF
| these cut-throats.
We understand that since this happy
occurrence Capt. Boulque ordered a
Especial meeting" of the regulators to
ask them their aid in avenglng him, to
which request they promptly replied
that if he could not aveDge himself, he
could go to H."

A bloody, and what will probably
prove fatal sequel to the Coulee
Crocbe Regulator outrage, lately tried
in our District Court, occurred on Mon
day night last. AS Mr.. j. B. Duplechin
was in attendance at the store of Mr..
Schurbe at CouIee Croche, for the pur-
pose of purchasing some family sup
plies, he was attacked by Aurelien
Beard, who being armed with knife,
stabbed and cut him with such effect
that fatal result is anticipated. When
it is considered that Mr.. Duplechin was
the prosecutor and main witness in the
Regulator cases, aud that Aurelien
Beard. who has now used the knife
with such terrible effect, is the brother
of Arvilion Beard, one Of the convicted
Regulators, and who is now in Jail un-
der life sentence in the penitentiary
the motive for the attack on Mr.. Duple-
chin is apparent
Beard has been arrested and commit
ted to the parish Jail, to answer to the
charge of cutting aud stabbing with in
tent to murder. ......-. ....

One Of our most valued exchanges
from a neighboring parish, in its COM
merits last week on the Regulators
lately on trial in our District Court,
says: "The remaining four awaiting
trial have been sent to New Orleans for
safe keeping"
Il Gar neighbor is somewhat "off the
track The four remaining untried are
stiii in our parish Jail, where they are
considered perfectly safe, and where
they will undoubtedly remain until
called for trial in February next.

relative to the introduction of Edison's phono-

The Express Companies Yield.

Secretary Window has decided that all
money shipped by the Treasury department is
government money, and that, consequently
the express company cannot refuse to carry
it without violating its agreement. The ex.
press company has accepted the decision and
will resume shipments of this sort at the gov
eminent rates. The money they refused to
carry is that represented by certain deposits
of banking institutions in the treasury and sub.
treasures. When bank wants money the
treasurer of the United States sends the bank
the amount minus the government rate OF
transportation. which is Is cents per 81 900 for
most distances, while the regular express
rates many times greater.
The refusal of the United States express com.
pany to carry this class of money at govern.
ment rates made money shipments a very ex
pensiye thing.

THE STORY OF HIS ADVENTURES
| on an oyster vessel. His home. he said, was
in Norfolk. Several weeks ago he was engaged
| to go on an oyster boat to St Mary's river. He
| went, thinking he would make money to have
| good time Christmas The oyster boat had
not got far from Norfolk when he discovered
that he was in bad hands, but it was too late to
back out. He had either to remain or Jump
overheard. After an exceedingly unpleasant
trip the boat arrived at the oyster beds in St.
Mary's river not far from Piney Point The
boy says he was half starved and made to work
night and day. He was
KICKED ABOUT THE BOAT LIKE DOG,
but there was no way to get redress. He made
several attempts to escape, but without success.
During the time he was on the boat, he says
he was given pair of boots. That was all he
received for his labor. Finally, while storm
was raging and it was impossible to dredge, he
made his escape and hastened from the river
toward the interior. Hemanaged to get to Pig
Point and there he found friends who were Wash
lngtonans. He had only IS cents in his pocket.
de waited patiently for the arrival of the
steamer thompson, expected in day or two,
and every person who approached frightened
him, as he thought he would be taken back to
the ''prison" ON the boat.
KINDLY TREATED ON THE STEAMER THOMPSON.
Finally the steamer whistled for Pig Point.
Then he wondered how he would be received
aboard. He had IS cents, which he was willing
to give and work his passage besides When
the gang-plank was thrown out he walked on
the boat. His story was heard by the captain
and purser. They told him to keep his money,
gave him the first square meal he had eaten for
long time and brought him to this city.
Sanitary Officer Frank furnished him trans
portation to Norfolk by the steamer and he is
probably at his home today.

Esquimau Dogs of the Arctic.

During his wonderful sledge journey
from Hudson's Bay TO the Arctic Ocean
Frederic Schwatka had abundant oppor-
tunity to learn the habits and the DISPOSE
ton Of the Esquimau dog.
He started out with sixty of them. using
them to draw the sledges. and only nine
teen were alive when he returned to Hud-
son 5 Bay. The others had died. mostly Of
starvation. He says:
They were through all this horrible
time perfect respectors Of their human
allies, and the little children used to 90
among them and play with them by pelt-
ing them over the back with their toy
whips: and yet the same dogs were starry
ing, and should one of them die his COM
rades would eat him. | noticed this par
ucularly. as some sensational writers have
tried to make their readers believe that
the Esquimau dogs are liable to become
dangerous fellows. even to a powerfully
built man. when simply hungry. and to be
worse than wild beasts when ravenous.
Any onslaught of Esquimau dogs is I'M
known among the northern natives where
! travelled
1t was pitiable in the extreme to see
their sutferings as they so devotedly helped
US along, many of them up to the very
minute they had to be taken from the har-
ness and abandoned ON the road As they
dropped out along the way, we harnessed
ourselves in their places to the sledge-
traces, and it was only thus we were not
compelled to leave important parts of our
load.

fence a Snow Storm

LARAMIE. Wyo., Sept. 14-Laramie
experienced today the first snow fall of the
season. The storm has lasted all forenoon
and seems to extend over a large portion
of the Laramie plains.
LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept. 1.-THE first
snow fell early this morning, and was quite
light and all disappeared by 9o'clock ex-
cept on the surrounding mountains, which
still 1emain white.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Sept. 14.-The first
snow storm of the season today lasted
about two hours, but melted as it fell. The
weather is now warm and pleasant.
DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE specials from
most of the mountain districts show that
for this season of the year, it has been
showing unusually hard all day, and in
most places it is still falling tonight.
The storm is driving eastern tourists
down to lower attitude, and all incoming
trains tonight were loaded down even to
standing room with tourists bound for
eastern cities.
