Vermilion Knights of Temperance

Last Sunday week, Oct. 10Th q
new secret order, the Knights of Tenn
perance, vas organized here and will
be known as East Vermilion Encamp-
ment No. 10. In the Daily Iberian
we find the following account:
A party of gentlemen, members of
@Teche Encampment No. Is Knights
of Temperance of New Iberia con-
sisting of Messrs. John A. French,
Richard A. Pomeroy, Fl. II. Shaded,
Mcdonald, Dudley Campbell, Jim
Finney, M. w. Fisher, Ed. French,
NJ. LeBrun, Ozemie Jacobs, C. L..
Widney, Willie Bernard, Reynaud,
Trappe, Fred W. Bauman, E. w.
Philips, Robert Brown, Jno. Z.
Whise, S. A. Benthall, Henry Ortte,
and A. j. Cammack went over to
Abbeyille yesterday, some by bus,
some by buggy, and others by the
evening train for the purpose of or
ganizing an E~ncampment of the
Knights of Temperance at that place.
After reaching Abbeyille the members
of Teche Encampment went to work
actively to hunt up the candidates
who had signed applications, and sue
ceeded in mastering up thirteen gem
tlemen whom they proceeded to mi
tiate into the mysteries of the order.
This having been done, and the
necessary details of organization hay-
ing been gone through with, the en-
tire party retired to the hosiery of
Mr.. Theriot where a good repast was
spread for the hungry workers.
The Ahbeville members have their
East Vermilion Encampment No. 10
knights of Temperance and the fol-
lowing gentlemen constitute the first
quota of officers, viz: Messrs. III,
K. Robinson, w. c.; Robert F.
Derouen, v. c.; E. Carter, Chap
lain b. O. O'Bryan, Recorder; Cab
riel Labauve, Financial Recorder;
Jno. w. Robinson, Jr., Treasurer;
Charles Stein, Marshal; G. Dutel,
Assistant Marshal; T. E. Theriot,
Assistant Financial Recorder, 49,
Trahan, Sentinel r. G. Coffey,
Guard; A. f. Maxfield, Past Wor-
thy Chief.
It is a peculiar coincidence that
the new encampment started up with
the number Of member as thirteen, q
similar numbers to the lodge of u
city. The new encampment will go
actively to work and We wish for it
much success.
Those Of the party who left here
by bus arrived home at 6 o'clock this
morning having left Abbeville at -
midnight.

A Miscarriage Of Justice.

After being on trial since last Thurs
day, the case of the State Of Louis
lana VS.. Despalier Breaux and KIM
ball Foreman, charged with stealing
cattle from Francois Lima, came to
an abrupt termination Monday even
ING. The evidence for the State was
all in and it was supposed that one
day more would complete the trial,
when court adjourned Saturday even
ing. 1t was just at the adjournment
of court that a little incident trans
pired which caused the trial to stop.
It was an alteration which took place
at the door of the courtroom, between
j. Alcide Leblanc, jailor and depu-
ty-sheriff-a witness for the prosecu-
ton, and Kimball Foreman one of the
accused. On Monday when court
opened, the attorneys for Breaux and
Foreman filed aemotion asking that
the jury be dismissed on account of
improper conduct within their hear
ing and presence. Judge Debaillon
took the matter under %advisement un-
til 2 O'Clock when he rendered his
decision ordering that a mistrial be
entered and the jury discharged. 1t
is deeply to be lamented that such a
course was necessary as there had
been much time expended on the
case and the costs incurred were heavy.
Over rs witnesses being in atten-
dance, the labor incident to their ex-
animation was no trivial affair, to say
nothing of the actual loss of time to
them in the middle of the harvest
season. This is an item the witnesses
all feel keenly. Without any desire
to prejudice the aus Of any accused
person, it must be said that such oc-
curences as these, like the legal tech
nicalities which so often prove a safe
refuge for the hard pressed criminal,
do much to weaken the cause of law
and order, discourage the proseou-
ton, and tempt the injured people
to take the law into their own hands
and administer it with less formality
and more effectually. We believe
that Judge Debaillon acted for the
best and feel certain that could he
have fixed the responsibility for the
costly mishap, he would have visited
the offender with severe punishment.

Saturday evening, October 81, 1899,
at the Catholic church, Abbeville,
La, by the Rev. Father Laforest,
Zachary B. Broussard and Miss Eve
Thibodeaux, both of this parish.
The handsome groom and his fair
bride stole a march upon their friends
in marrying quietly at the church af-
ter shutdown, but their friends, who
are numerous, discovered the plan
and were soon on hand with a large
and varied assortment of horns, COW
bells, trumpets, and tin pans to sound
him q merry "charivari,' which was
taken in good part. The happy
young couple will make their home
for the present with Mrs. Paul Mon

The Stock Law.

Some of our citizens are complain
ing about the stock running at large
and breaking sidewalks. They should
remember that this law a passed
only for the mosquito season. We
believe that this law should be in
forced at all times, as in winter the
stock seek shelter under the different
store galleries of our town. Last
winter Holt & Co.'s show window
was broken by stock during a cold
winter night. If there is law to
force people to build sidewalks there
should be a law to protect them from
being destroyed.-Rayne Tribune.
