There was one window. II was barred on

BRIDGE CIT DOWN
a Steamboat Destroyed the Draw Over
the Eazpique Bayou.


Mr. g. b. asassett, parish sapeTiiiten'
dent of public roads, was summoned e
Jennings Iiy AIr. s. aIaraaart, a member
of the police jury on Monday to exanliHe
the bridge over the HezPiqae bayou,
wIiell had fallen into the bayou
Upon examination, 1t was learned 1tlIat
a steamboat coming along the bayon,
finding that the telescope bridge did
not slide satisfactorily. deliberately cut
away the bridge and caused 1t to fall in
the water, thus impeding traffic between
The two shores.
As the bridge rests on the Caleaslen
side, it is very probable that tlIe au-
thorities will take proper steps to have
the malicious offenders prosecuted to the
full extent. There is fine of $50 for
damaging n bridge in any way.
The people in the vicinity are justly
.incensed over the deed and pray that
something he done in.tlre premises.
The bridge is one hundred and fifty
feet long, aud has draw Of twenty-four
feet. 1t is very mitch needed, 1t joins
Acadia parish with Calcasien.
The damage will be repaired as soon
