iessed murderer, the trial was not
long drawn out, and the case was
submitted without argument to
the jury, which promptly return
ed verdict of guilty.
Messrs. Foster and Todd, attor-
neys for the defence, were not sa-
tisfed that the evidence was suf-
ficient to send Chas. Brown and
John Green to the gallows and
made an effort to get q new trial
for the men, which Judge Woo
rhies denied.
On Saturday morning sentence
was pronounced upon the four
doomed men, and the attorneys
named above gave notice that they
would appeal the case of Green
and Brown to the Supreme Court.
There have been some mutter-
ings of lynching in the event that
the law was not permitted to take
its course without resort to legal
technicalities, and there is dissp-
proval from some quarters at the
action of the attorneys. In the
discharge of their duty, these gen.
tlemen have not overstepped the
bounds. They are acting without
compensation; the Supreme Court
is the tribunal of last resort; there
need be no delay in bringing the
matter before that tribunal; and
we hope that mob violence will
not be resorted to at this time,
when all indications point to a full
vindication of justice by the legal
ly constituted authority.

On Tuesday morning last, Judge
Felix VOORHEES,, convened the Dis
trict Court for the trial of Reuben
Cately, John Green, Hypolite and
Charles Brown, charged with the
murder of young Martial Sorrel,
in his store, at Olivier station on
the night of August 18th last. The
State was represented by District
Attorney Simon, while the Court
had appointed Messrs. T. D. Fos-
ter, David Todd, L. T. Delaney
and A. j. Cammack to defend the
accused.
District Attorney Simon, in or
der to avoid using either of the
accused as State witness, which
would have possibly saved the
neck of one of the murderers, ask
ed severance, which enabled him
to place the two Browns and Green
on trial first, using Cately as a
willing witness.
The following jury was empan-
elled and the trial proceeded: Nu-
ma Broussard, Louis Darby, Err
nest Bonvillain, Frank Beaullieu,
w. o. Bunch, Luke H. Landry,
W. H. Laughlin, W. H. DeGene-
res, Ernest Leroy, Chas. Miguel,
Ozeme Jacobs.
After DR.. Clarence Pierson, de-
putty coroner, had given his evil
dence, Rubin was called to the
stand. He had previously made a
confession of the crime to deputy
sheriff Henderson, and corrobo-
rated this, detailing the crime
from the beginning of the conspi-
racy to the time of its accomplish
ment, 1t was upon this evidence
that the jury returned a verdict of
guilty against the three accompli-
ces.
On Thursday morning, the case
of Cately was taken up and the
following jury empanelled: J. G..
Arnandez, W. H. Hatch, WASH

"While here" said the travaler

Beers come counting. The girl
was the daughter of my employer.
The young man dashed up to the
house on horseback, wearing new
clothes, with an ostrich feather in
his hat. He made his fine horse
prance and csper before the house
ere he descended. Then he gave
the lines to one of the Hottentots
standing near, and walked up and
down in front of the windows of
the house. we'll knowing that the
eyes of his sweetheart were peep

Then he strutted into the house
and first shook hands with 'Tante,
the mother, and said Gluten tag
(good-day). The same he did
with 'Oom,' the father, and then
at last spoke to the girl and her
sisters and brothers.
"Oom said only Site (take a
seat), and then there was complete
silence which lasted until the bowl
of coffee was brought in. Then
each in turn spoke a few words.
Dom asked how everything was at
the 'huis' (home), and then we
heard all about the health of each
one in the family, how the cattle
and the crops were doing, etc. All
the time we were drinking coffee.
At last the sutton rose and handed
his chosen bride the 'Lachergoot'
confectionery, which she, blush
ing and laughing, accepted.
This was the critical moment,
for if she had refused the gift that
would have ended the courtship.
Now there was gayer talk, until
all but the two left the room, for
it was the right of the sutton to
remain in the front room alone
with her of his choice. But so

Vulgarity of Exclusiveness.
Simplicity and Cordially Are the
Truest Signs of Good Breeding.

Simplicity and Cordially Are the
Truest Signs of Good Breeding.
In a very candid and plain-spo-
ken article on 1.-The Graciousness
of High Breeding" in the Novem-
Der Woman's Home Companion,
Ella Morris Kretschmer make
these pertinent remarks: "Men
and women who by contact or ira
vel, know the worlds best society
need not be told that simplicity
and graciousness are the inyaria-
BILE characteristics of the highest
breeding. If this fact could only
reach the minds of that class of
people who talk of 'exclusiveness,'
of -four hundreds or the 'vulga-
rity of trade of not knowing any
one outside of our set what
grateful social change would be
wrought. That cold stare of the
would-be elect is but the express
sion of an underbred, poverty
stricken soul. What is exclusive
ness?" 1t is that human policy
which shuts individuals off from
the enjoyment of their kind, by
which society gains, since an in
harmonious element is thereby re-
moved. How pathetic is the iso-
lation of the determined aristo-
crat, especially in a small town
where, other stirringly interest
lacking, human relations mean SO
much. Could even a divine mi
croscope detect the differences be-
tween the naked souls of a bank
er's and a grocer's wife? How in
finitely stupid it is to draw lines
in small places instead of honesty
enjoying ell there is TO enjoy. If
one has had superior advantages,
is there no obligation to give plea
sure, to make sunshine in others
lives because of that good for
tune? The time is at hand when
intelligence will be too widespread,
progress to more vigorous plane
of thinking too real to admit of
men and women looking askance
at enc another to make mental in
voice of social financial or other
probabilities. Will it not soon
penetrate the dullest brain that
wealth, rank or leadership are
powerless as shields against un-
happiness, or as props to mental,
moral and physical Deficiencies;
that there is positively no honest
or sensible basis for judging indi-
vidusls excepting individuality?

BIG FIRE BLoODFIELD.
Started in JONAS Atlantic Garden Dance
Hall and Spread Rapidly.

About 2:30 o'clock this morning a
fire broke out in .Jonka's Atlantic Car
Gen dance hall in Bloodfield, and as
the paper goes to press the flames are
spreading ranidly eating up the entire
row Of buildings on that side Of the
avenue in the directions Of Rockets.
At the time the fire broke out a high
wind was blowing and this carried thc
fire along the tinder-like row with !,
rapiGity SO great that the inmates OF
tne doomed houses did not have time
70 save any Of their belongings in
many cases.
The fire department. responded IL an
alarm sent in but before they could
arrive the flames had gotten such a
Roadway as to make the work OF
checking them almost imprac:icable il,
the wind ''and with the limited facili :
ties at hand.
AS this s written. the fire is eating its
WAY up toward the head Of the avenue
and property in Rockets may be in
danger
There is no estimate to be had at rhis
hour of the damage.
