Mr.. Collins was born in this city
twenty-five years ago, and is one of the
many bright young men that is destined
to take prominent part in the ali airs
of county and state. Two years ago
there was an urgent demand from the
young men for representation on the
Republican ticket. 'Mr., Collins emf
nent fitness and popularity made him a
shining mark, and the claims of the
young men of the Republican party
were recognized by his nomination.. He
proved to be no drawback but strength
ened the whole ticket.
His worth having been made apparent
by the good service rendered the peo-
pie, he was unanimously re-nominated
for the same position. He has improved
the opportunity afforded by his election
by making himself more competent,
which he has done by hard study and
faithfulness to duty.
Mr.. Collins comes before the people
better prepared than ever to perform
the duties of the office, simply because
he is progressive young man.
Every young man in the county
should be proud of his record and show
their appreciation by casting their vote
for him and in getting others to do the
same.
Cast your vote for Joseph II. Collins
for circuit court commissioner. -

A. E. Morley, of Chicago, owner of
the Corunna FIGURING Mills has leased
the property to ID. Nj. Lowe and Charles
Eveleth of this city. Mr.. Lowe is one
of our best known business men and is
one of the hustling kind that make bus
mess. This is no new venture as he was
in the mill for several years, aud knows
just what it will do Mr.. Eveleth is the
oldest son of Alderman Erwin -Evcleth,
aud is rising young business man.
They will take possession on the first
of January next, and we are confident
they will meet with success.
John Jarvis and Harry Harrington,
the present lessees of the mill, will go
to Durand and operate a mill there
which they have in course of construct
ion. They are two of our most worthy
and enterprislng citizens and we hear
many regret that we are to lose these
two estimable families. What is our
loss is Durand's gain. They will be fol-
lowed by the best wishes of our people.
A man about 40 years of age was
brought to the county jail Tuesday
morning. He was found by Elmer De-
wore, on his place two and one half miles
south and west of Durand. When found
he was unconscious and remained so
until yesterday morning, when he re-
vived and wanted TO know where he was
and how he came there.
He remembers nothing about the ac-
cident only that he was on the train
when it left Lansing for Durand. 1t is
evident that in some, manner he fell
from the Grand Trunk train and had
wandered mile before he was found.
His name is ID. j. Tudhope and is a
carriage trimmer and relative of the
Tudhope carriage company of Orvilla,
Ont. His head was badly bruised and
he is terrible sore but no bones were
broken. His prospect for recovery is
good.
The board of supervisors have been

county clerk and drain commissioner
also made similar reports.
Charles A. Potter was reelected jani-
tor of the county buildings, with sala-
ry of $500 This is an increase of $50,
and was just what he deserved, as by his

Dec. 16, taking along with him a
douple- barrelled shot gun and a
Winchester rifle-the former weapon
to be used at short range and the
latter at longer range. He also
carried spy-glass and several RAJ
tons. He drove to Midland sta
ton on the main line of the South
ern Pacific, and from there walked
to Gueydan, distance of IL miles,
carrying the shotgun in one hand
and the rife in the other. Arriving
at Gueydan at about O'Clock and
leaving his weapons there in order
not to Arouse suspicion in case he
were seen in the neighborhood of
Foreman's camp, he continued his
peripatetic journey until he reached
the tent on the Hoffpauir rice farm
where Foreman and several com
panions lived. He approached the
tent near enough to hear conversa-
gagged in making some coffee. He
overheard a statement that they
(the men) would go to Gueydan in
the morning with some rice for ship
ment. He then hurried back to
Gueydan reaching that little village
about the dawn of day. He hid
himself under building in the
course of construction, situated a
few yards from the. railroad depot.
He remained in his hiding place IN
til about half past eight o'clock
when with the assistance of spy
glass he saw wagon advancing in
the distance. When the wagon got
nearer he recognized Foreman as
one of the seven or eight men riding
on it. The wagon stopped and after

juncture the sheriff found himself
within ten feet Of Foreman whom he
covered with his shotgun, command
ing him at the same time to throw
up his hands. This Foreman did
after being told a second time.
Holding his gun with one hand the
sheriff drew from his pocket a rope
which he threw out to the crowd Of
men standing near the saloon. One
of the men kindly complied with a
request of the office and walked up
to Forem an and tied his hands. In

THE CLEVER CAPTURE
OF Willie Foreman by Sheriff
Broussard, at Gueydan,
Last Saturday.


the bars safe and sound.
He was bagged whole and alive.
And due to the skill Of the officer
no one was hurt.
Ike Broussard went out after him
Friday night - >---...---.
Saturday afternoon Broussard re-
turned with Foreman who was a
wiser if not freer man..
The Gazette in common with the
law-abiding citizens of Lafayette
parish, desires to extend to Sheriff
Broussard it's earnest fluctuations
upon the splendid capture of Willie
Foreman.
Foreman, who has for years, been
an element Of trouble in this parish
as we'll as agent Of the devil in the
commission of foul murder which
sent to eternity peaceable citizen
whose death robbed a mother and
several little children of their right
full protector. This man Foreman
not only had the devilish effrontery
to return to the place where he had
shed the blood Of a fellow being, wi no,
perhaps in an unthougEted moment,
had incurred his murderous hate,
but not satisfied with that: he held
the law in utter contempt and
openly defed its officers, going about
with Winchester rifle, ready at
any time to shoot and kill anyone
whose oath compelled him to en-
force the laws of the country.
That's the kind of man Sheriff
Broussard had to deal with.
1t is needless to go over and
Willie Foreman. Suffice to say
that while serving a term in the
State penitentiary he took advantage
of the VIGOROUSLY lax methods of
that institution and babe hasty
farewell to his guards. This hap
pened in August, 1897. After Sc
curing his liberty he came to the
Western part of this parish where he
was born and reared. Some time
after it became to be rumored about
that Foreman was at his old home.
Later it was learned that he would
at times venture out, always carry
ing his Winchester, in the handling
of which he is known to be an adept.
Then on Sheriff Broussard had his
wide-awake eye on him. He kept
his own secrets and made known
his plans to but few friends. To
catch Foreman without killing him,
being killed or getting some good
men killed, was as big job as any
officer ever had upon his hands.
To go where Foreman was with
out being noticed by any Of his
large number of relatives and
friends who were always on the qui
vive, lest Mr.. Broussard would
quietly make his way to the fugitive
and bag him a la Old Sleuth as he
had done upon former occasions
with other desperate characters. 1t
was out of the question to secure
the services of posse. That
means might have entailed the she'd
ding of too much blood. The
sheriff concluded that the only
practical and sensible way was to
try it alone. And that's what he
set out to do.
He did or said nothing that
would excite suspicion. He al
lowed Foreman and his relatives to
make their boasts.
Some time ago he thought the
propisious moment had arrived to
get his man. He armed himself
and procured some food, as it
would have been unwise for him TO
have stayed at the house of any one
of the neighbors.
After a futile attempt to effect
the capture, he returned to Lafa-
yette, but not in the least dAunted
l.;
