in q financial sense, in keeping
criminal expenses at a low ebb.
1t may not be amiss to say here,
that the Sheriff has not attempted
to make the criminal department
OF his Office paying one, for it is
a fact and the records of the Office
will show it, that he holds nearly
q hundred bench warrants issued
against fugitives from justice,
who have been indicted in our
Courts and who have fed to adj
joining Parishes and States, and
who, under the law conld be pur-
sued, captured, and confined at
great expense to the Parish and
profit to the Sheriff.
1t has only, where serious
crimes has been committed, that
fugitives from justice have been
pursued, and the expenditures for
the capture of criminals will COM
pare favorably with any Parish in
the State without regard to popu-
lation.
In conclusion permit me to say.
that these facts and figures are not
given with any view of bringing
about restoration of 80 1-3 rate.
The Police Jurors have reduced
the rate for keeping and feeding
TO 25c, the lowest allowed by law.
This they had the undoubled right
TO do; and as it is satisfactory to
the Sheriff, it is presumed to be
satisfactory to all concerned.

noticing noting the terrible suffering
of the unfortunate lady and seeing
the fearful condion her foot was
in, saw he would have to have aid
and sent in phone message for
DR.. E. G. Allen, and then went to
work with a will. It so happened
that DR.. Allen was out on profess
ional business and could not come,
leaving DIR. Hicks to his own eff
orts, except for the kindly assist
ance of Mr., Ernest Terry, a medi-
cal student. But DR.. Hicks has
had to depend on himself many
times before, and he grew the
more careful physician who reali-
zed the condition of his patient
and his responsibility, and his
nerves became as iron and his
judgment cool as ice as he applied
the antitode to relieve the agony
of the unfortunate woman.
About forty minutes afterwards,
while he was still busily engaged
at his task, there was heard the
sound of rapid footsteps, the door
was opened and DR.. Allen was at
his side. Then, both with prac-
ticed and delicate skill, made the
patient easy by giving the foot
tempary treatment. The next
morning the wounds were again
dressed and the foot set with tin
splints-the latest in surgery-and
then placed in mold of plaster of
Paris.
This was a muchly talked about
act of successful surgery, and the
two doctors have won unstin ted
praise for their splendid work.
