\ CASE or TOO MUCH BOOZE

The people OF Xlllah were Mortified on
sunday evening to hear that murder
had been committed At the foot OF u 9
bill approaching the village from he
river. TIE discovery of the body of II
dead Indian and within very short dis
ably under the influence Of tirewater,
was made shortly after the report of
gun had been heard by different citizens
OF that burg, who Immediately went to
the scene The dead man was found to
be Willie Sleepy, and the one under the
influence of the jag, Oscar Spencer, and
he it is VINO is supposed to have fired
the fatal shot, and who is now reposing
in the county Jail charged with the crime
Spencer had been about Zllah during
the day, and in the usual mysterious
way had obtained quart bottle of alco-
hol. This he would frequently find ac-
cess to until ere long he was barely able
TO sit astrde his horse. In this condition
he started for his home at Toppenish,
wife Near the foot OF the hill Spencer
saw his victim approaching, and while
the gun he carried was an old fashioned
Colt loaded with powder and ball, it
nevertheless proved its efficiency rs a
killer, for Sleepy was seen to fall. On
investigation it was found that the ball
had entered the neck Just above the col
lar bone, and that Sleeps death must
have been almost instantaneous.
Spencer was Immediately taken to Ill-
lab and Kept in custody until the follow
ing day, when his examination took
place before Justice Walden. Sheriff
Shaw was wired to come for him, and on
Tuesday sent Deputy Cory, who met Ed
Mudd and the prisoner on their way to
this city.
At the examination today before
Justice MacCrimmon no other de-
yelopments than those outlined above
materialzed, except that Spencer's wife
went on over to the home of his mother
after the shooting. She claims that her
husband was flourishing his revolver, and
that at the time the shot was fired he did
not know Sleepy was around, and that
he WAS shooting at the river just for fun.
Spencer is a young man % or % years
old, quite we'll educated, and said to
come from a respectable Indian family
He does not seem to fully understand the
enormity OF the crime with which he is
charged, and talks OF having commenced
his celebration little previous in very
jocuar vein. He claims not to remem
Der anything after meeting Sleepy until
he found himself bound hand and foot, a
prisoner.

The Parish Poor Farm.

Some months ago there was q
movement by the Pelice Jury to secure
a tract Of land for a poor farm. Here
it was the Intention to place all
paupers and INDECENT persons who are
o receiving aid from the parish.
While we don't believe the poor farm
will amount to much, therei Is bus little
doubt that it will reduce the expense
of the pauper list to a minimum. Two
near by parishes, Calcasieu and
Rapides, have each established poor
farms, and in SO doing have gotten rid
of the paupers. The Calcasieu poor
farm has been idle for several years
and the Police Jury are urgedto sell it.
To Rapides the Alexandria Town Talk
is infored by the manager of the Parish
Farm, that at present there isn't a
pauper at the Farm. Before the Police
Jury took the wise step OF purchasing a
piece of property, and establishing a
place to receive those people not able
TO take care of themselves, there was
over $1,000 per annum appropriated to
the pauper fund-each INDECENT person
being granted. $25 per annum. This
sum is now being saved. as the Parish
Farm, under the management of Mr..
Broadnax is more then self sustaining.
A saving to about $4,000 per annum is a
big thing, and the present Police Jury
did a very sensible thing when bought
property and established a Parish
Farm.
We are of the firm belief that the.
purchase of land fer a poor farm by
our Police Jury would be attended by
the same results that there obtained in
Calcasieu and Rapides.
