THE BREAK BRIDGE CON-
PAN4 rs QUITE RIGHT.

The esteemed bfeauX brlOSe v al
ley administers a spirited rebuke to
the Breaux Bridge Oil and Mineral
Company, which has, in the opinion
of our valued contemporary, COM
mitted most grievous offense.
The company has issued pros
,pectus on the back of which is
printed a map of the oil fields of
this section. The map innocently
shows Lafayette to be nearer the
s'Butte" than Breaux Bridge. The
Valley considers this a ''great in
justice to Breaux Bridge" and calls
upon the company for reparatlon
of the wrong it has SO unjustly in
flicted upon that deserving commu-
nifty. TheValley then proceeds to
enlighten the public on the moot
Question of show far is Anse La
butte" and gives the information
that Breaux Bridge is two and half
miles from the famed spot while
Lafayette is six and a half miles
away. The plain truth of the mat
ter is that Breaux Bridge IS nearer
Ause Labutte than Lafayette. The
difference is, in the opinion of the
well-known civil engineer, Mr.. c.
E. Babin, about one mile and a
half. Breaux Bridge is cheerfully
conceded that advantage and i,
should be commended for making
the best Of it, but there is no neces.
sity 70. the Valley to shove US of
the map altogether.
The Gazette can readily under
stand the motive. of the Breau,
Bridge & Mineral Company il
putting Lafayette within easy reacl
of its oil lands. The company ap
preclates the superior advantages o
Lafayette as the headquarters o
prospectors. The exceptional rail
way and hotel facilities of thi:
town are in themselves a sufhcien
inducement to land-seekers and til
difference of one or two miles il
distance is not to be thought o
at all. The prospectus is intended
TO serve dS an ~ lHVSS(OI
in oil lands and the company yer
wisely considered it an importan
matter to impress upon the mind
of visitors the essential fact that b
making the trip by way OF Lafayett
they would have the benefit of da
and night trains and of splendi
hotel accommodations. The Ga
zette does not wish to speak dis
paragingly Of ~Breaux Bridge. 0
the contrary. Breaux Bridge is
delightful town and strangers a,
sure to find within its gates the mo:
open anded hospitality and til
most generous treatment. Our il
tention is merely to dispel any e
roneous impressions which o,
friend Begnaud may have create
in the minds Of the unwary.

"sZHE LAND WILL WA/I.'

1.-THE LAND WILL war;"
Property-hoiders in the vicinity
of Anse Labutte who have leased
their lands to Capt. Lucas com
pany will be interested to learn
what the captain had to say to
Picayune reporter last Sunday. In
the course of an interview on the
subject of oil explorations at Anse
Labutte the following calloquy took
place:
eyes said Capt. Lucas, IL found oil
there, but 1 only bored 500 feet, and 1
found that the oil was in small quantities,
and abandoned the well. 1t is not true that
I pulled out the pipe Or plugged up the hole
The oil did not gush, and there was no ne
cessity for any such course. left the well
lust as it was. There was nothing in it..
sit is laid that your partners have since
acquired most of the land about there sug-
gested the reporter.
eyes, we have done some buying and
leasing there, and, 1 think, have lot of
land sufficient to control the field if there is
one there
'sDo YOU propose to bore wells there?'
1--WE are interested in Beaumont now, and
will no, try to do too many things at once,
| said the captain, with a smile. ''iou see,
we have plenty of time. and there is ne
cessity for any hurry, as the land will wait
and the oil will stay where it is. We cant
do everything in day, you know, and il
never pays to be in 4 hurry with such mat
ters.'
;,,ly - host he, Ia ll(
| frst?''
great hurry to find out what they have
for all we can get.
sit is stated that you found oil at Beau
mont in the same way some time ago, ane
stopped operations until you had all thu
land you wanted
SIS that sop asked the captain. ''Well
there may be something in that: hav
nothing to say about it whatever and tn
captain went away smiling systematically.
/ 1t was hoped that the CUTIE!
Company would take steps to bor'
wells as early as practicable, bu
the interview of Capt. Lucas re
ported in The Picayune does no
show any desire on the part of tn
company to do any real work il
the near future. Capt. Lucas
facetious remark that the ''lan'
will wait and the oil will stay wher

droop,ng spirits of the fellow VIII
has signed ten-year lease am
whose existence is rendered lntoler
able by numerous tempting offer
of thousands of hard cash which h
is precluded from accepting by rea
son of his contractual obligations
That there is oil concealed some
where in this portion of the cart
seems to be the general opinion
but the only way to ascertain tn
fact beyond doubt is to dig dee
. into the ground. Taking up lease
on thousand of acres of land is nc
going to develop the country, an
when it is considered that the CUTIE
Company controls a large area q
what are believed to be valuable 0
: lands, Capt. Lucas startling an
nouncement that 'the land wi

. though it may not possess the mer
: of originality.

Serious Accident.

The central part of the city was the
scene Of an exciting accident yester-
day afternoon. About four o'clock H..
p. R0dewig sent his delivery team to
the rear of the Wassman Block and
Belmont street to deliver some furni-
ture. While the driver and assistant
were taking the articles up stairs. it is
supposed that some small boy started
the team down the alley. Others see
ing them moving without driver set
up a shout, which started them more
rapidly. AS usual everybody screamed
and yelled and the horses became panic
striker and started in earnest. They
ran to Bridge street, where a box in the
alley caused them to swerve toward
Gurnsey street, in their mad rush.
They made the turn successfully and
started toward Gurnsey, but in making
this turn the right horse struck the
stone pier, instantly breaking its neck.
Little damage was done to the wagon
or the other horse. The dead horse
had been in Mr.. Rodewig's possesslos
for some time. The other was moro
valuable and was only purchased a few
days ago. The loss of horse and dam
age to the wagon will amount to about
SITS.
