Deputy s. M. Lacroix arrived in
Colfax about 8 p. m. Wednesday,
with Lee Parker and B. F. Stalls
by, whom he arrested in Vernon
parish. the first being charged
with selling liquor without license,
and the latter with obtaining money
under false pretenses. They were
locked up for the night in the new
brick Jail. Mr.. Lacroix left Col
fax on Monday morning and got
back home with his two prisoners
at dark on the third day, having
travelled $50 miles in the mean
while, the most of it overland by
horse and hack conveyance. This
is pretty fair work, considering that
his hand is little bit out of late
on account of not having much
practice. He reports that Mr..
Satisfy tainted after he arrested
him, the first experience he has
ever had in that line with a prisoner.

Of Darro, called by this Office for
blanks on Wednesday, and expects
to turn out his hands in a few days.
He intends to put his section of
the road in frst-class condition,
which will give us good road
from Colfax to the lower parish
line, as we believe all the balance
of the distance has been or will be
worked by that time. The only
objection to be made now, possibly,
is that in one or two places the
fences should be set back to give
more room.

bank has caved to within twenty
feet of the fence, making it alto
gether too narrow a passage for
safety. The fence should be set
back sixty feet.
