HIS FATE A MYSTERY.
Simeon {. Roberts Found by the
Roadside With Fractured
Skull.
SUSPICIOUS OF FOUL PLAY.

Had Been On a Visit to His Daughter
Unconscious, and Arms and Legs Frozen
and Ills Rig MISREPRESENTATION Cir
cumstances Surrounding the Case of q
Buffalo Prairie Farmer.
Simeon Z. Roberts. a farmer living
in Buffalo Prairie township, who went
to visit a his daughter, Mrs. Alice
Robinson, in the same township last
night, was found unconscious by the
roadside a short distance from his
daughters home early this morning,
his skull being fractured and his
hands and feet frozen.
Mr.. Roberts had, up 10 late hour
this afternoon, not yet recovered con-
seriousness. and hence none of the cir
cumstances of the terrible fate that
in some manner overlook him has so
far been gained. There is strong
suspicion of foul play, as no trace
has been found of the horse and light
wagon in which he left home. The
fact that the rig would in some man
ner have been heard from by this
time. if indeed it did not go home,
has tendency to discourage the idea
of runaway accident. and to
strengthen the feeling that the farm
er may have been attacked and his
ASSISTANTS used his horse and wagon
as means of escape.
Victim Well known.
Mr.. Roberts, whose farm is located
in the northeast corner of Buffalo
Prairie township, is 65 years of age
and has large family. He is one OF
the best known and most highly es-
teemed farmers in the lower end of the
county.
This afternoon word was sent in
for DR.. G. c. Carter to go ont and
attend the sufferer.

GIBSON, La, Oct. End. 1900.
Editor Of The HoUMA COURIER,
HOuma, La.

DEAR SIR 81 promised | would
pen you a few lines soon again when
news was p~lenCiful. And as we Gibson
people are all such staunch old Dem
ocrats why not be as loyal in keeping
a promise to u editor as we have
been to our political party.
Our city is booming up gradually
and many improvements continue to
be made.
| must tell you about the lovely but
troublesome Lily or Hyacinth which
is almost stopping up our navigation.
While up the Bayou Black a short
time ago, I noticed a tug boat with
much difficulty break through a raft
of the lilies which for quite a long
distance looked like a great bridge
across the bayou. There are several
boats from the Teche which make oc-
casional trips up our bayou, but if
the Hyacinth continues in our stream
the navigation will be almost closed
in a few years.
There is some talk of a new enter
prise going up in u town very soon.
Gibson needs an Ice Factory and
a Central Refinery, a school house, and
a few more hustlers like the Gibson
Cypress Lumber Co.
Mr., w. Tolbert and family now oc-
cuDy their pictureste little home on
the hill side.
Mr.. VIM. Mount is also installed in
his pretty new home.
Our merchants are doing a flourish
ing business.
Our city grows more attractive all
the time.
One thing we haven't got in the
town, a lamp for the whites waiting
room in the Southern Pacific Depot.
Ladies who have to take the early or
late trains do not appreciate sitting
in the dark waiting room or else ask
for a light to be put in it. We all
agree that the company is fully able
to furnish a lamp.
Yours respectfully,
