AFTER OIL
Mr.. Robert Martin Comes Here
to Meet the leyWOodS.

Mr.. Robert Martin, of st.
Martinville, was one of the
pioneer Oil men in this section
and is one of the last to throw up
the sponge. He still has faith
in the precious fluid and has by
no means given up the fight. He
was in Lafayette last Wednesday,
accompanied by his brother, DR..
Joseph Martin, for the purpose
of meeting Scott and Alba Hey
wood, the intention being to have
these well-known Oil men visit
Bayou BouillOn in ST. Martin
parish where. the oil indications
are said to be very good. We
understand the Messrs. Martin
and Haywood left here for that
point by way of Breaux Bridge
and ST. Martinville. 1t is not at
all unlikely that the visit of the
Haywood brothers to the Bayou
Bouillon district will result in
extensive operations there in the
near future. These energetic oil
men have been among the most
successful in developing the
Beaumont and Jennings field and
their trip to Bayou Bouillon may
be very significant.

BRICK COMPANY
Contracts for a Large Plant
Will BE Com pietell N About
Sixty Days.

The Lafayette Brick and Tile
Manufacturing Company has
closed a contract with the At
lanta Brick Machine Company
for a first-class plant to be built
at once. The daily capacity of
the plant is to be 10000 bricks.
1t is guaranteed to do good work
and turn out finished and dur
able brick. The contract calls
for the very best machinery, it
being the intention of the COM
pany to be in a position to supply
the demand of this and adjacent
towns and to successfully COM
pete with the other brick facto-
ries in this section of the State.
For several days the company
negotiated with number of
firms with the view of securing
the best appliances used in brick
making, and it is only after con-
sidering the merits of the sew
eral propositions that it decided
to close with Mr.. Frank H. Reed,
the Atlanta com
pany.
The plant will be completed in
about sixty days and Lafayette
will have what it has long needed
an up-tO-date brick yard.

Trahan 4 Doucet Addition.

A few days ago Messrs. J. E..
Trahan and Leo Doucet filed in
the clerks office a plat of what
will be known as the Trahan &
Doucet addition. 1t comprises
some fifteen acres of land situated
between the railroad track and
DR.. Guidry's home and is divided
into ninety lots, each having a
front of fifty feet. Last Tues
day eighteen lots had been sold
and many inquiries were made
by prospective buyers. The
new addition is conveniently
located, being near the refinery
and only short distance from
the railroad company's round
house. So far the purchasers
are white people with but two
exceptions.

EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
In the Eighth Ward-Nleeting to
he Held To-day.

Mr.. John Wilmington, of the
eighth ward, was in town We'd
nesday. Mr.. Wilmington stated
that he and other citizens of the
ward had joined Supt. Alleman
in an effort to hold kind of edu-
cational revival in that section of
the parish. For some reason or
other the people who patronize
the Wilmington school are
not taking much interest in edu-
cational matters, and in many
instances do not show any de-
sire to educate their children, as
is shown by the small attendance
at the local school. With a view
of dispelling this lamentable in
difference to education which is
making itself felt in that com
munity, "a big meeting will be
held to-day in Wilmington
woods. AS an inducement to the
people to be present barbecued
meat, lemonade and other delica-
cieS will be served to the crowd.
Judge Julian MOutOn, who was;
Intimately connected with the
management of the public schools
for a number of years, has ac-
cepted an invitation to address
the people on the very important
question which is to bring them
together.

Knocked Out by the Trust.

The sudden rise in the price
of beef, due to the manipulatiOns
of the trust, has compelled
Adam Otto, local meat dealer,
to go out of business. The high
figures at which the meat was
sold to him made it impossible
for him to retail it to his GUS
TONER'S
The baneful effects of trust
like the beef comb bine are felt
everywhere in the United States.
The tentacleS of the commercial
monster reach every nook and
corner of the union, and it's
victims are to be found in the
little towns as we'll as in the
large cities. Under present
trust methods every retail mer-
chant is sort of distributing
agent for the big combines and
is absolutely at their mercy.
He must sell the trust made
goods, trust-packed, and at
prices fixed by the trust which
is always careful to allow the re-
taller the smallest profit pos
Sible.
What the beef trust is now
doing has been done by other
trusts for a long time, but owing
to the Indispensable character
of meat as an every day neceS-
Sity on the table of the working.
man the action of the beef trust
has caused great Indignation
throughout the whole country,
particularly in the Eastern
cities.

Dr.. F. E. Girard and F. V.
Mouton, who were appointed by
the Sontag Military Band to fit
up ParkersOn's grove for the
open-air concerts this summer,
have been at work this week
making all necessary arrange

stand will be built for the band
and enough seats will be put up
to accommodate pretty large
audience. The place is to be
Illuminated by electricity, ar
rangements having been made
with the town to furnish the

1t is the intention of the band
to sell ice cream, lemonade and
soda water. A permit will be
given to some reliable person to
sell these refreshments
These entertainments will
dou btless prove to be very popu-
lar. We have no doubt that they
will be greatly patronized by the
town and vicinity. They will
begin on or about the 18th of May.

SACRIFICES HER LIFE
Constant Watching Over Injured
Son Responsible For Mrs.
Holdings Death.

The anxiety and care of watching at
the bedside of her injured son was re-
sponsible for the death of Mrs. E. c..
Holding, which occurred at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. the direct cause
being typhoid fever.
Five weeks ago her son Franklin,
while playing on some boxcars at the
Short Line depot, fell under the wheels
and had both legs severed from his
body: He was taken to the hospital.
There his mother watched continue lly
at his bedside, never allowing herself
the rest of an unbroken sleep. nor tax
ing her meals with any regularity.
A short while ago the reaction set in.
She became a victim of typhoid fever
and was removed from the hospital
Sunday night in a carriage to her
home, 1914 South Fourth West street.
Her physical condition was so broken
that she could not withstand the at
tack, and last evening she succumbed.
Mrs Holding was we'll known here
and in Ogden, where she formerly re-
sided. Her maiden name was Mary
Jane Clifton, and she came 10 this
country from Birmin CHAM England in

ROMNEY OUT ON BAIL
Sum of $500 Fixed by Judge
Morse Is Furnished by
Relatives.

Miles Romney. who is awaiting trial
for the killing of Harry Strong in the
Oasis saloon, was released from Gus
tody at 1880 last evening on a bond of
$4,000, furnished, by his relatives This
action was made possible by Judge
Morse. Yesterday afternoon Attorney
j. NJ. Hamilton, who is associated with
Judge w. II. King in the defense of
ROmney, asked that the court fix bail
bond for their client. District Attorney
Eichnor said he had no objection, and
cited section s, article 1, of the state
Declaration of Rights
wherein it is provided that all pris-
oners shall be bailable by sufficient Sc
curities, except for capital Offenses
when the proof is evident or the pre-
sumption strong"
Judge Morse heSitated a moment,
while deciding in his own mind, what
the amount of the bail should be, and
finally fixed it at $4,000.
The friends of the accused held a
hurried consultation, and two hours
after the adjournment of court the
bond had been written, signed and ac-
cepted. Romney's bondsmen are J. NJ.
Romney, William ROmney. both of the
Il. c. NJ. l.; George Ernest Romney
Of the Pacific Lumber company and
c. J. Brain They qualify for 81 500
each. The Romneys are all close reia-
tives Of the prisoner
No sooner was the bond fixed up and
accepted by the district attorney than
it was taken to the county Jail, and
Romney became, for the present. at
least, a free man. The case has not
yet been set for trial.

KING CASE is DELAYED
Judge Booth MisIaid Papers and
Didn't Pass on New
Trial Motion.

Judge Booth of Provo, who presided
in the King case, was yesterday to
have passed upon the motion for a
new trial for the convicted murderer
who occupies a cell in the death row
at the penitentiary, and have fixed the
day of execution, if the motion was
Overruled, but inasmuch as the Judge
said, upon ascending the bench in the
criminal division of the district court,
that the papers in the case had been
mislaid, he would make no ruling at
this time. That means that King will
not know whether he is to receive
a new trial until the papers can be
found.
In the sheep case of Joseph n. Jen-
sen VS.. the Deep Greek Farm & Live
Stock company ct al, Judge Booth
rendered a decision in favor of the
plaintiffs for the amount sued for, ST.
59462, which sustains the Judgment of
the board of arbitration which first
passed upon the merits of the suit An
appeal Will probably be taken.
