strating what light, speedy play
or could do. Chas. Etchen, who
played on right end, could be
counted ON for good gains, and
some very fine runs. Fred Eichen,
was sure of gain, and gave some
exhibitions OF how TO get over the
line when he could not get through
or under it, while his kicking was
spectacular, kicking three goals in
that many attempts, two OF them
made from very difficult angles.
The playing OF Clark at center,
was we'll nigh perfect.

Ratoliff's 20 yard run for a touch
down. The college failed to kick

triumphal marches to Kendall's
goal, enlivened by an occasional
hippodrome race. By end runs
and line bucks, with an occasional
fake play to enliven things and
keep Kendall guessing what was
coming next, the home boys sue
ceeded in making three more
touch downs and kicking goal each
instance. La ths second half,
Ratcliff, Bufington and Fred Etch-
Ell each made a touch down.
In the second half Geo. Clark,
left end, was substituted by Vance
McSpadden, who made 80 yard
run, and would have made
touchdown had he not worn a
sweater, which afforded too much
opportunity for tackling. Adair,
al quarter, knows the game and
played like an old veteran. He
is fast, headY player and gets
into the interference and stays
there. Al several critical times
he showed exceptional strategy
and out-generaled the other fel
lows. Fatty Chandler played at
left guard in the last half and
quite a number of Kendalls, lost

The men were changed around
quite frequently during the game,
which accounts for the peculiar
lineup. There was very little
fumbling, except in the beginning
and the game throughout was
clean. Both sides we're penalized
several times for off side playing.
The lineup was as follows:

holding in and for Grant parish:
We. your grand jury sitting in and
for this your October term, beg leave
to make this our final report.
We have had under investigation
on our docket 40 charges, finding "a
true bills and 45 no bills, leaving one
case ON hand. which we have handed
to the district attorney for investiga-
tion. We find that the bulk of mat
tiers under investigation have been
Tor minor offences, which speaks well
Tor our parish. However, consider
able OF our time has been taken ND
investigating the illegal sale of whis-
Ky within the borders of our parish.
and principally on the east side of
said parish at points on the Iron Mt.
railroad, and we find it ia almost i'm
possible to get any thing like convict
ing testimony in such cases. Hence
tits the census of opinion of this Jury,
that if the sale of whisky was licensed
in such places it would save the par
ish considerable trouble and expense.
We find the public roads from re-
ports made to us, to be in their usual
good condition at this season of the
year. However, complaint is made
to us OF the bad condition of several
railroad crossings in ward 6, and we
would ask that the police jury notify
the Louisiana Railway & Navigation
Co. to make the necessary improve
ments at once. Also the Colfax Lum-
ber Co., concerning the same state of
affairs at their crossings.
We have examined the parish jail |
and find same clean and well kept.
We have a statement from Mr.. Will |
liams, the parish superintendent,
showing the public schools to be in |
fine shape.
We have also examined the parish
treasurer's books and find them cor
rect and neatly kept.
We feel that we are under many OBJ
legations for courtesies extended to
Us by the court, district attorney,
clerk Of court and sheriff, and we re-
spectfully ask to be dismissed.

Several parties have expressed sur.
prise that Judge Blackman should
have fined Mr.. Dahlburg, of the Big
Creek Lumber Co., $50 and costs in
two cases of concealed weapons, as
they thought it a case in which he
was justified in going armed. The
Judge says that he took into consid-
Grafton all the extenuating circum-
stances, still the fact remains that
the law was violated. In view of the
prominence of the party he thought
leaving off the Jail penalty and inn
posing $50 fine in each case is about
as near doing justice as he could
come, and be consistent with his es-
tablished rule. No man has the right
to violate the law by carrying con-
cealed weapons, even If it is to defend
himself against threats. Every man
has the right to bear arms, but he
must shoulder a shotgun or carry
his pistol in open view. The correct
procedure is to have parties making
threats arrested and put under bond
to keep the peace.

An s'Izzer' Preferred to a ssHas
Been"

Been."
The discussion of the respective
merits of Judge Blanchard and Gen
Jastremski, relative to their fitness
for the governors Office, reminds us
very much of the story we have heard
about u shrewd farmer who tried to
trade off an old broken down horse
to "a green country lad, who had q
pretty fair young horse. The old
farmer explained to the lad that some
yenrs ago his horse had been the fast
estrunner and trotter in all the coun-
try round, and that in all his expert
ence with him he had been faithful
and true to pull at the word of CON-
mand. The boy listened to the farm
er very attentively as he extolled the
past greatness of the old horse, and
as the old gentleman came to close
with his speech, the lad shifted his po-
sition, and, taking good squint at
the old gentleman's horse, he said,
with great deliberation and decision,
"Wal, Mister, l reckon your horse did
all you say he did, and / guess he has
been all you claim for him; but l
want to say that while your hoss is o
has been, mine is an User, and can do
things now. So / prefer to keep my
Izzer rather than to swap him off for
your Has Been"
This sizes up the situation exactly.
Gen. Jastremski is a grand old patri-
OF. He wore the grey with honor,
bravery and distinction during the
late unpleasantness between the
States. He is gentleman and q
and has been one of the best
editors and most trenchant writer's
in Louisiana journalism. He was q ]
fine representative for this country in |
one OF the South American Republics. |
His record is honorable and fair, and |
he numbers his friends by hundreds |
in all parts of the State, and there is |
no wrong or harm in the world in his |
aspiring for the governorship, If he
IAN get it.
The only trouble in his way is a
younger man, whom the people seem
20 be determined to elect as their gov
'rnor. He is their choice for the po-
Iition because he is young, vigorous,
'ctive and aggressive. He is known
lot only in his native State as a law
'er Of ability and experience, but he
known also in the halls OF Congress
md in the councils of the nation as q
nan of force and character, rich in
ii that goes to make him valuable
o his constituents and to the country
t large. There is no disparagement
o the old horse. The only question
mong the Democratic of Louisiana
o-day is one OF public benefit, and
laterial aid and progress toward |
he upbuilding of our State and her
lstitutions. In this work they be-
eve that N. G. Blanchard will excel,
therefore, in the present race they pro- I
ounce the young horse the better
ag of the two.

Bad Wreck on the N. & W.

Passenger train No. 2 on the Shen-
andoah Valley division of the Norfolk
& Western Railway was wrecked last
Sunday night about balf'paet 10
o'clock near Greenville, 1872 miles
south of Shepherdstown. The engine
and express car went over the en-
bankment, aud Engineer Wesley Bal
ley was caught under the locomotive
and instantly crushed to death. Fire
man Underwood was thrown out Of
the engine on the opposite side and
was but little hurt. Express Messsn-
ger Long had narrow escape also.
None of the passengers was injured,
and neither Conductor Bart CLANCY
nor Brakeman James Skies were hurt.
1t is believed that train wreckers were
responsible for the disaster. A tool
house near by had been broken open,
and with a wrench and crowbar the
fish plates had been removed and one
Of the rails pried out Of place. Aape-
cial train from Roanoke took detec-
tives and two bloodhounds to the
scene, and later two young men who
had been seen by the trainmen at the
wreck were arrested. Engineer Bal
ley, who lived in Roanoke, was Ole of
the oldest engineers on the line, and
had the run between Roanoke and Shen-
He formerly lived in Ha-
gerstown. When he left the dis
patchers Office Sunday night he re-
marked to Dispatcher Waddy that it
wouldn't be long before some of them
would be killed, and his actions indi-
Gated that he had some premonition
of his impending doom. Engine No.
70, which killed him, jumped the
track on the Bluefeld division a month
ago, killing Engineer Pate. Bailey

spected.
