A Terrible Accident.

We are indebted to DIR. Jas. O.
Kay, who returned Wednesday
from the vicinity of Eunice, for
the following account Of this un-
fortunate accident:
On Monday last ut about :,
Q clock p. NJ. rs Judge I. b.
Brooks was on his, way from his
rice farm to Eunita, eight ailes
distant and in the hoods midway
between the two pla.4eS, his buggy
whesl struck a stump, throwing
his doub'e-barrel g,ia out, the butt
striking the stuhptbounded back
to tho edge of the buggy and the
hammer hitchlng on to some
thing was draYn back a suti
clent distance to discharge the
gun, the contents of the whole
load entering the right arm about
three inches and a half below the
shoulder joint, tearing the bone
completed y away from that point
to the elbow. Brooks being alone
III the woods, and having the
presence of mind to perceive that
tbs arteries had been severed by
the shot and death would have
been inevitable from hemmorage
had he not saved himself, he pre-
cured rope which he had in the
buggy with him, and using his
left hand and teeth together, he
tied one end of the rope to the
buggy wheel to hold as a brace;
making loop around the stump
Of the arm, he succeeded in tying
it sufficiently tight to arrest the
hemmorage. He got into his
buggy and started to resume his
journey to Eunice, but on account
of hemmorage and the shot that
he had received, he tainted and
remained in an unconscious con-
dition possibly for thirty minutes.
Reviving he attempted to lead his
horse. He did not go more than
two acres from the place where
be was shot. when he was COM
PEELED to lie down, IN which po-
sition he was found by parties
from Eunice.
His arm was amputated about
three and Il half inches from the
shoulder Joint, the operation
being performed by DIR. W. G.
Young, of Crowley, assisted by
Drs. NJ. d. Lewis, W. II. Ray
and DR.. Geo. Brooks, 4 brother
of Judge BIS.
At the time Of DR.. JAS. q. Rays
departure for Opelousas the
wounded man was doing as wsIl
as could be expected under the
Judge Brooks has the sympathy
of a large number of friends in
this community in bis terrible
atliiction who join with his many
relatives here in wishing for him
an early and complete recovery.

1t is generally understood that
the public schools throughout the
parish will open about the last of
October. The reports for the
last term show an improvement
throughout the parish, and the
Parish Board, in response to pop
ular demands, will establish this
fall a number Of new schools in
the country districts. In the
High School new department.
will be established-one calcu-
lated to more fully equip the
graduates and our youth of both
sexes for modern and modernized
business ayocations. We refer to
the department of shorthand,
typewriting and teIegraphy, which
will be in charge of our bright
young townsman, Mr.. Leo Mayer,
an export in these branches. Tu-
ition will be free to all St. Landry
students, and we understand that
it is proposed to accept pupils
from neighboring parishes on pay
ment of a nominal fee.

well as Democrats are expected to
fire. hot shot inte the administra-
tion for the policy pursued in the
Philippines. Senators Hoar,
Wellington and Masen, all Re-

President in this matter, and
their ranks are being added to
every day.

More Room Needed.

we published q couple of weeks
ago communication from a we'll
posted correspondent. who re-
terred with some detail to the
straits in which the school au-
thorities found themselves in their
efforts to provide additional and
mere suitable accommodations for
the students at the High School.
The school ;i steadily growing,
the attendance constantly in
creaslng. The Accommodations
there have been for some time no.
torlously inadequate, and from
the very beginning Of the next
term, when two additional teach
ers, rendered necessary by the in
creased attendance and the de-
mands Of progress, will he in
stalled, a situation already diff
cult and embarrassing. will be
aggravated.
Under these circumstances. it
behooves our people to seriously
consider the best means of meet
ing the eXigencies Of the situa-
ton and to take necessary action
without undue delay. Two sug-
gestlons as to the best mode of
overcoming the difficulty have
been made. One is to build an addi-
ton to the High School sufficiently
large to provide, besides the addi-
tlonal class-rsoms needed, a large
assembly room, these improve
ments to cost about $4,000. An
other is to erect in the southeast
ern part of town two-story
building, which, with the site,
would cost about the same
sum. The adoption of one or
the other of these courses seems
imperative, and the necessity
therefor is imminent and press
ing. We therefore suggest that
the Committee Of Twenty-Five, or
another organization equally de-
voted to its noble mission, which
in the past few years has yielded
such magnificent results, be mt
sncs assembled, and that it take
vigorous hold Of this matter.
We assume, of course, that our
people will take no step back
ward in educational mattars, and
that they will not even permit
them to IanguiSh. Once fully &C
quainted with the situation, thera
can be no doubt but that they
will promptly provide u proper
and suitable remedy.
There is q project on foot to
build an electric car line between
New Iberia and Morgan City,
which would not only be a
great public convenience but a
paying investment as we'll. Many
years ago the COURIER advocated |
the building of Il railroad bstween |
Washington and Opslousas, and
had our suggestions been acted |
upon then, it would have en-
riched the promoters and been a
great benefit to the p.ople of
both towns and the parish in gem
eral.
Such an enterprise is still very
much nseded-though road
from Opeleusas to Palmetto, via
Washington would be still bet
ter, especially in vIsw of the
fact that steamboat navigation to
Washington will doubtless soon be
resumed. Suc;l q road would
give our people the choice of
three different routes to New Or
leans: the Southern Pacific 4. r.,
the Texas Pacific r. R., and
Steamboat, thereby doing away
with the present monopoly.
