TRY TO ESCAPE.
Prisoners In The Parish Jail
Make an Ingenious Effort
To- Gain Their Liberty.

An ingenious attempt to escape
vas made q few days ago by some
of the prisoners in the parish Jail.
One Of the prisoners, named Ben
Lafargue, pretended that he was
sick and ASKED that he be given a
clock so that he would know the
time to take medicine according to
directions. A clock was bought by
the jailer and placed IN his cell
Lafargue, who, it seems. is some
what Of machinist, used the
springs of the clock and with other

of saw with which it was intended
to cut through the bars. 1t will be

of the bars. which was bolted 60

With the ,mprovised saw these bolts
were cut and an avenue of escape
was about to be secured when the
scheme was foiled by one of the
prisoners ~h.. informed the jailer of
what was taking place. The jailer
was also informed that there was a
conspiracy among number of the
prisoners to knock him down when
he would open the cell to give them
dinner. Their plot was to take the
keys from the jailer and to make
their escape.
Had it not been for the timely in
tervention of one of the prisoners it
is not at all improbable that either
Of the plans would have been car

JEANsONNE
JEANSONNE
Captured In Sabine Parish by
Sheriff Wanted
For Cattle Stealing.

Sheriff BrOuss0rd--Wante
For Cattle Stealing.
A telegram received from Sheriff
Broussard yesterday informed Us
that he had just captured skLovel
Jeansonne, alias Joe Leboeuf. The
telegram was sent from Hornbeck,
a point in the Southern part of
Sabine parish. Jeansonne is be-
lieved to have been at the head of
the gang of thieves that made
raid among the cattle in the
Carencro section about year
ago. Some two hundred head
of cattle belonging to Numa
Breaux, Aurelien Caruthers, Onezi
me Breaux, Belizaire Cormier and
others we're stolen. AT the time
there was no clue for the officers to
work on, but Sheriff Broussard kept
on watching for developments.
Some m onths ago he arrested Henry
Ducote, brother-in-law of Jean
some, and took steps toward the
capture of the latter. He traced
him to the pine woods of either the
Southern part of Sabine, with the
results stated above.
Jeansonne bears the reputation OF
being cunning, desperate man and
his capture reflects much credit
upon Sheriff Broussard. We have
not heard of the particulars of the
arrest.
Sheriff Broussard has been away
since last Saturday.
Death of an Old Resident.
Mrs. Amanda Hayes, widow of

Mrs. Hayes lived in this commu-

ever exemplified in her life the char
acter and qualities Of the true Chris
tian. She was a devout member of
the Presbyterian church and her
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Sechrest of that denomi-
nation. She leaves no children
but an adopted son, Mr.. John
Hesse, is left to mourn her death.
Filial love was never stronger than
the affection which held together
the deceased and her foster child.
She was as a devoted mother to him
and he as a dutiful son to her.
Mrs. Hayes was kind, charita-
BILE woman and did much good dur
