paired to the town of Opelousas, and calling on
the Sheriff at his office, presented 10 him the

The Sheriff, upon reading the resolutions and
request, remarked to us that it seemed that We
waited lawful authority to do that which we
complained OF in others, namely, parading the
public highways armed. We referred him to
the resolutions presented to him hy rs, and re-
qucSteu linn to point out any intimatiOn of our
intention TO parade the highways or violate in
any manner the law, assuring him that our sole
purpose was to preserve peace and qniet i'll our
community, and promising him that we would
not parade the public highways, and that we
would act only when Informed that a breach of
the peace was abont to be, OF had been commit
ted in our neighbOrhOod.
We then informed the Sheriff that if the under
signed, who had been recommended by your
Honorable Body, were not acceptable to him.,
that he could select any three from the signers
of the resolution. He refused to comply with
either request. We then informed him that
we had been instructed to request from him q
written answer to tho appeal made to him
whereupon he replied mot to-day. I will have
to consider the matter" He further stated
that he refused to make any appointments for
the reason that it would precipitate matters
and cause trouble
Among the resolutions, tho motion of DR.. l..

ming was noticed by the Sheriff, wheTeupon he
remarked why here you are going to have a

was to be held to receive his answer, and
that notice thereof had been given to him to-
gether with the resolutions; that the meeting
was not to be secret, and we cordially invited
him and his deputies to attend.

NOTHING 10 WORRY OVER.
II tho Other Gang Begged Him, They
A'IHt Would Suffer For It.

I had arrived in tho mountain town just
at . time when there WAS feud ripe, and
the urban and the suburban hosts were
divided against each other. There had
been killing around tho neighborhood, and
truce was on when ! got there, and as
fur rs the stranger could 500 tho wilder
ness was poisoning rs tho rose. AS an
outsider I was in no danger. and finding
it necessary to 60 on into the mountains
began to look about for a fit horse to
ride. The best thing In sight, and it was
good indeed, was black mare belonging
to the leader of the faction on the town
side.
"Take my horse" he said Hospitality.
Thar amt none better anywhar, and
she'll carry you along six miles an hour all
day.
I wanted that kind Of a horse, but there
were reasons why I should decline it.
''I'm much Obliged" hedged, "but I
won't deprive you of It,"
6" faint no deprivin. list take her
along and fetch her back when yer done.
That was too hospitable to be refused.
,".Really," I apologizod, "I'd rather not
taxi her. can get horse at the hotel
stable"
sS'tWhy won't you take her?'' he insisted.
"She's the best in these parts
saw must explain, and I did.
SWELL" said frankly, ''I'll tell you
why I won't. If ride your horse, she's
going to make more or less dust, and when
some Of those fellows along the road see
her and can't see me very clearly they'll
take me for you and shoot me full Of
holes. That's why don't take her."
Indignation flashed all over the mans
face in an instant.
,"Don't let that worry you," he said,
with the most intense earnestness. "You
take her, and, by --, If any of them kills
you I'll kill them !'-Truth.

Twas in the Office OF the Mississippi
& Rum River Boom company the
other day and Mr.. Chute showed me
a box of curiosities that had been
sent him from the mill of the Pine
Tree Lumber company at Little
Falls, Mimi. 1t consisted of n cOllec-
tons of the things that are found
sticking in logs after the logger and
drivers get through with them.
These were discovered in the usual
manner, by the saw in the mill.
There were small spikes and large
spikes and ends of cant hooks aud
other things of a like nature. The
saw in the mill is good finder of
these foreign substances. They don't
make good lumber, and neither is
their effect on the saw a good thing.
One large spike half an inch
through was cut square off by the
saw. To be sure the saw was not
much good as Il saw afterwards. but
the spike was Il worse spike Mr..
Chute said that he thought the best
way to eliminate these things from
the business was to have one or two
hangings. 1t IS certainly criminal
carelessness on the part of the logger
to- leave pieces of iron in the logs. 1t
is probable that more than one loss
of life can be laid at the door of this
carelessnass. When the saw strikes
a piece of iron embedded in the log.
the usual result is a broken saw, and
the pieces are sure to do more or less
damage, even TO the killing of saw.
yer. 1t hinders the work of the mill,
too, for the sawyer who runs on to
one of them is sure to be timid there
after, and with cause. The Boom
company has instructed it's men to
stop every thing and remove these
thing when they are found, but it is
an impossibility for the men on the
drive to examine every log that
comes down the river.-Minneapol
Lumberman.
