A BAD CROWD

From This City Creates Disorder Up the
Greek.
People living up Little Wheeling
creek say the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed In that locality, two
and one-half miles above Elm Grove,
were enacted last Sunday. The parties
were a four horse wagon load OF toughs,
both men ana women, from Wheeling.
There was beer drinking, swearing and
cursing, and all sorts OF debauchery.
The persons in that locality were at
first terrified, but finally gathered to-
gether in body and made a charge
on the gang aud drove them from the
section. team be said 10 the credit Of
the fishermen encamped in that locality
that they had nothing to do with the
disgraceful scenes.
One Of the worst scenes, as an Official
informed a REGISTER reporter, was one
OF the women getting astride horse
and riding past the Peters Run Church,
then in session, and cursing the
preacher.
To say the people out that way are
indignant would be putting 1t mildly.
They propose TO have arrests made.

Reprehensible Fun.

\ number of young men aTc said to
have BACKED their faces on Christmas
eve night and on two consecutive nights
thereafter to indulge in malicious mis-
chief in town. They gratitiod their de-
srcs for fun 10y tearing up foot bridges
aud removing signs. Thus far it might
be considered by many harmless amuse-
ment but they went further and marred
property, and wrote vulgar, malicious
and libelous inscriptions, which no one
but the most depravcd hoodlumns would
do or think of permitting to be done in
their presence. Such ruttians may be
overtaken and if so will learn lesson
they will be apt to heed.
When law abiding people ale at home
aud resting in their beds, their property
should be held sacred and ackguards
watched. Unfortunately for the good
people of Opelousas, we have but one
constable, and it is Impossible for him
to be everywhere all the time. We are
convinced that the size of the town and
the fact that there are such persons in it
dictate the necessity of an increase of
the constabulary forcc-at least at night
on such occasions as this.
