Fakes and Frauds.

The Home Comfort(!) Steal
Range folks have folded their tents
and silently stole away to fair
Rapides, to pray upon the credu-
lous, unsuspecting and unwary
denizens. They will present them
selves in conspicuous enough pro-
portions to attract comment and
consideration from those in whom a
compliment should arise in order
to carry with it any recommends
ton calculated to be of service in
the culinary department of ye
householder; whereby the Janus
faced agents with tales Of double
meaning, and pseudo scientific
lectures on the cold rolled steel
process, will endeavor to ingrati-
ate themselves into the curried fa-
vors of folks whose grocery bills
In six months will not equal the
cost of one of their highly praised
ranges, that may be bought at re-
tail for one half the price. That
these agents have practiced fraud
and deceived the people here; goes
without saying.
There is another wind iammer
and space seller in town, who viii
quilt your name very nicely and
try to sell you the right to quilt

lars and fifty cents per frame, and
then tell you that the frame can be

ing net profit of 1864 per cent
on each frame sold. But he is a
slow coach, and the people need
not fear of being run over by his
promises, as he will promise you
80 much, that he will leave down
enough gaps for bis cattle to come

The delay in the announcement
by or,r Assessor Of dates for regis
tering under section 5, referred to

occasioned by the failure Of the

of our worthy Assessor, but rath-

if he had advertised the dates, and

We, your Grand Jury, beg leave
to submit this the final report Of
our labor at the present term OF
the District Court.
We have been in session for six
consecutive days and have given
our whole attention to the duties
imposed upon US.
We have examined total of 80
cases, returned II true bills. and
ignored 81 presentments. OF the
true bills retarned 2 were for mur-
der, / for manslaughter, the re-
mainder for misdemeanors.
We find the custom and habit of
carrying concealed weapons is still
very prevalent, Notwithstanding
the severity Of the sentences im-
posed by your honorable court.
We find the courthose clean and
neat and carefully attended to in
every particular. We visited and
examined the jail and found same
clean as could be expected, CON
sidering tho nature and disposition
of u very large majority of the in
mates. The ward around the iail
might be kept in a more cleanIy
condition.
We would suggest that the i'm
provement committee of the Police
Jury examine carefully the iron
flooring in the cage in front of the
condemned cells. This floor is
worn out and should be looked af
ter.

SECURED A NEW TRIAL
Burke, Accused of Stealing a Bicycle
Gets Another Chance

Before Justice Young a motion for a new
trial was made yesterday in the case Of
H. F. Burke, recently found guilty in the
township court of petty larceny because
he caused a boy to steal from B. R. Barker
at the Agricultural coursing park on Sun
day week. wheel Barker had bought for
$50 on the installment plan from Burke
and upon which he still owed S15 Burke
denied having any knowledge of the
whereabouts of the bicycle when advised
of its loss by Barker
The new trial was asked on the ground
that the defendant had discovered two Wit
nesses who were in his repair shop al
the time that Barker came in, and that
these parties would testify that Burke told
Barker that he would produce the wheel
if Barker paid the balance due, thus show.
ing that Burke had not acted in a sur
reptitious manner.
Justice Young reviewed the facts, SHOW
ing that the evidence was that the de-
fendant at no time during his conversa-
tion with Barker disclosed the fact that
he had the wheel, and that he had even
offered to pay himself a reward of SO for
