The Road to Ereaux Bridge

We learn from the Valley of the
Teche that the short road between
this town and Breaux Bridge is now
completed, the contractor having
finished. work last Wednesday.
This road considerably shortens the
route to our sister town and it is
with much pleasure that the news
Of its completion will be received
by our people. AS it seems that
we cannot have railway comnuni-
cation with our neighbors, let US, at
least, make the route overland as
short as possible, and it is Of mu-
tual interest that it be always kept
in good travelling condition. The
people of Breaux Bridge and Lafa-
yette have always been on friendly
terms and it is to be hoped that the
same brotherly feeling will continue
to exist. During the last two or
three years large number Of fami-
lies from Breaux Bridge have moved
to Lafayette, and now form part of
our population. BY curtaillng the
distance between the two towns,
cultivating a spirit of goodfellow-
ship, encouraging commercial inter
course and adding III every possible
way to the already friendly relations
much good will be sure to follow.

ample room to pass. It seemed to
Mr.. BeSnaud, however, that one Of
the horses was b7ing driven directly
toward his buggy. He cried aloud,
'f1old ON - in order to avoid a
collision. Thereupon, one of the
negroes drew revolver and fired
at him, causing his horse to become
frightened and manageable, max
ing pursuit impossible.
Sheriff Broussard, Danton We a.
zey and Hebert Biliaud, acting up
on this information, started in pur-
suit of the Culprits. When it is
considered that Mr.. Begnaud had
failed to recognize anyone, and that
the shooting occurred early in the
night, the task of the sheriff to ar
rest the right parties was an under
taking which required no small
amount Of energy and considerable
detective skill. But, with that US
ual dauntless spirit which has al
ways characterized "Ike" and made
him a terror to evil-doers through
out Southwest Louisiana, he and
his deputies went to the spot where
the shooting took place ond waited
there, in the hope that the negroes
who had done the shooting would
return that way to their homes dur
ing the night.
ing the sheriff spied a negro coming
up the road. He placed him under
arrest and proceeded to question
him. 1t was learned from him that
during that day there had been a
game of base ball played at Duson,
and that some parties from Lafa-
yette had gone there in gigs.
Among the party he mentioned the
names Of Joe Andrus, Joe Cheva-
lier and two Derousselle boys. The
sheriff's long experience with the
Grimm al classes of this parish served
him well in this case. He imme-
diately came to the conclusion that
Joe Andrus was the man he wanted,
but as precautionary measure he
first located the Derousselle boys.
They denied having shot any one,
but told the sheriff that they knew
something about the shooting.
They NJ ade 4 statement which cor
with that of Mr. Beg
maud, and said that they rooe in
gig; that INN cdiately behind them
was Joe Andrus and Joe Chevalier,
in a gig, and that one Of
them did the shooting. In answer
to question from the sheriff, they
said it was the one seated on the
ii 5;tt side Of the gig who had fired
the shot. .Andrus and Chevalier
tanned that the former was the one
who sat on the right side and drove.
Chcva!icr gave the whole thing
away, and said that Joe 4Andrus was
his companion in the gig and was
the one who had done the shooting.
B 10th were charged with completely
in the crime, and the Derousselle
boys were released.
We complime lt Sheriff Broussard
upon this fine piece of work. At
II O'Clock he heard of the shooting
and started out without a single
clue, and at daylight he had his
game behind the bars, peacefully
meditating upon gloomy future.

"Out in the northwest where the
wind is high, the fences are some
times blown down and sometimes
the houses are blown over, A man
was going along one day and found
another building a fence, He was
putting it up solidly with mortar
and stone, The man said: You
are putting good deal Of time on
that fence, Don't you think it will
blow over2 The man who was build
ing the fence replied; That is Just
why am building it as | am, 1t is
five feet wide aud four feet high,
and when it blows over it will be one
foot higher than It is now. That is
the way they are building this sill

DODDRIDGE.
A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana & Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-
bridge, in Sulphur township, 28
miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not particle of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
of considerable Importance. Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, ETC.,
will insure it's making a live town.
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on a high,
sandy plateau, four miles east of
Bright Star and three miles west of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, near by,
will receive the drainage and ofal
of the place.
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once. Opposite the
depot is "Fouke Place" a wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houee' -
| g., ,,y, 20 oe built at
INST; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west;
Collins, Slay, Bryant, and others.
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, and ere
another two weeks elapse, half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course Of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon.
1t is estimated that not less than
1000 bales Of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall.
Now is the time to get in on the
ground Aoor," as lots are going
