FATHER AND SON PERISH.
Trasimond Guidry and his
boy Solomon drowned in
Lake Barre.
Remarkable presence of mind
of a six year old boy pre-
vents further disaster.

News of the dro wing of Mr..
Trasimond Guidry and his son
Solomon reached Houma this
week. Mr.. Guidry was a lugger-
man and at the time of his sad
demise vas fishing oysters on the
TerrebOnnecoast.
During a little squall the wind
shifted and the sail Of the boat
swept across thedeck and knock
ed into the water Solomon Guidry,
aged nine years. The boys father
realized i'll a moment that his son
would drown unless be made a
bold attempt to rescue him, so
forgetting all danger to himself he
threw himself into water and
swan in the rolling waves to his
sons rescue.
Lake Barrels nothing more nor
less than an arm OF the gulf and
in some portions of the lake the
water is very deep and the waves
roll high.
When the father plunged into
the sea after his unfortunate son
no one was left in tire boat but a
six year old boy. The little fellow
at once realized the danger he was
in with the sail up and no eXpe,
| rienced hand at the rudder of the
boat. He was not strong enough
to let the sail down i'll the usual
way so he united the rope and
Jumped under the hatch,way while
the sail came down with terrific
force, The little fellow then pushed
the anchor over. board.
He saw his father struggling to
save hlmselfaud boy. He saw him
rise to thesurface holding Solomon,
his son, above the water. He saw
them go down together to rise no
more alive.
It so happened that - brother
ct the drowned man was fishing
oysters about ten acres away, when
the accident occurred. He saw the
sail Of the boat drop suddenly and
made up his mind that something
was wrong. When he reached the
lugger the little boy told him all
that happened, and the brother o.
the drowned mau Don got together
a crowd of fishermen who dragged
the lake until the bodies Of the
father and son we're found.
Mr. Guidry, it is said, was very
much liked in his community ano
the sad death of himself and sol
cast a gloom over the rest OF The
luggermen.

COULDN'T KEEP THE DOORS AMI
WINDOWS CLOSED.

Down on Bayou Black, across
the bayou from Eastonia pianta-
ton is = house that has recently
gained the reputation Of being
haunted. The house until Il few
days ago was occupied by u Mr..
Parr and his wife. The couple
have not been married very long
and it seems that their first days
of matrimony have been somewhat
disturbed by the unwelcomed
presence walks about
in the dead hours of night and
throws open the doors and win
1dows ofthe house while the &C.
cupamts are slumbering.
While the presence Of the inviSl-
BILE door and window opener caused
a creepy-feeling to the young man
and his bride it made no further
difference to the couple as long as
the weather was warm; but the
thought Of spending a cold winter
in a house in company with a
ghost that seemed to be craving
fresh air all of the time, was
more than ordinary mortal could
stand so the couple bundled up
their household effects last Mon
day and turned over the entire
building to the fevered spirltua
occupant. Some of the citizens
Of the Black have resolved to solve
the mystery Of the haunted house
but with what result we know
not.

THE COURIER ~sympathizes with
Mr.. Chapman in the loss of one
of his fine horses. His horses
were hitched to q vehicle and
were frightened by the blowing of
the whistle of the HOuma train
when it was about to take its de-
parture. They ran away, dashed
into the canal, and one Ofthe horses
was killed. Whether there will bea
damage suit or not, THE COURIER
has not been informed, but one
thing is certain and that is that
the blowing of the whistle Is a
nuisance that will, if continued,
end in causing some good horse
to break some good mans neck
some Of these days. Houma is
the only place we know of where
this custom is kept up, and as
long as it is kept up 1t will prove
a menace to the lives of the trave-
ling public. We doubt the state
ment that it is a convenience to
the public; because every fellow
that wants to take the train waits
until the whistle blows and then
| all rush to the depot at once and
get their tickets and have their
trunks checked at the last moment

WHICH YOUR WAY?


The man who is satisfied to let
somebody else do the thinking for
him will read but one or two papers.
He will gulp down what the editor of
his party paper tells him, go to the
polls and vote the party ticket, and
then retire within himself, quite sure
that he has done his duty. But the
man who wants to know the "other
side" and to be able to make up his
mind for himself will not be content
with this plan, least of all during a
great political campaign like the
present. He will read Public Opin-
ion published at New York; get all
sides of every important public ques-
ton, political, social, re .igious, edu-
catlonal and others. And then he
will form his own conclusions and
act upon them. Specimen copy free.
