Roaul Guidry died at his home
in this town Thursday afternoon
at 3:15. Though his health was
somewhat impaired for many
months it is only since Sunday
that he was compelled to go to
bed. He made his last trip Sun
day as brakeman on the Alex
andria branch. For years he
was regularly engaged on the
trains between Lafayette and
Alexandria and he will be great
ly missed by the passengers on
that line. He was a good -natured,
accom- trainman, faith
full to his employers and always
ready to contribute to the plea
sure and comfort of the travel
ing public. A prominent trait
which won for the deceased the
esteem and respect of many
people was his great devotion
to his wife and children to whom
he gave all his earnings and
whose happiness was his sole
aim in life. He was worthy
mem Der of Lodge 81, Brother

have been having busy time OF
late. One game against Crowley
Saturday and two games Sun
day and Monday with ST Mar
tinville make up the record fO1
one week. Right here The Ga
zette wishes to congratulate that
clever player Meaux who pitched

boys had an easy time of it at
Crowley as is shown by the fol
lowing score by innings:

Sundays game against the ST.
Martinville boys would have
been very interesting if there
had been less wrangling. Though
the umpire, Mr.. Bracken, is
known to be fair man, ST.
Martinville was displeased with
his decisions from the start and
kicked fiercely until the eighth
inning when they withdrew and
the game was never finished.
But eight innings were sufficient
to show that the teams were
pretty well matched. The st.
Martinville team is composed of
clever players and tine young
fellows, but they are inclined to
kick too much. The following is
the score of Sundays game by
innings:

Considerable iIl-feeling was

makers effected a compromise
and the second game was played
with Ovey Comeaux as umpire.
Mondays game was not as close
as that of the day before. While
a majority of the Lafayette team
played good ball, some Of the
players made costly errors and
lost the game which should have
been a tie at least. The ST. |

HOGG And MILES
Spend Two Days In Lafayette
and Visit the Oil Fields.
THE GOVERNOR INVESTS IN LAND.
Other Investments May Follow
Believes it is u Good Field.

Gen. Nelson A Miles, of the
> United States army, and Elk Gov
HOgg, of Texas, arrived in La
, fayette in their special car Tues
day morning. Their arriva
here was expected as it had beer
announced in the New Orleans
papers that they were making q
that they would spend some
time at this point.
After breakfast the distin
guished visitors left with Col.
Breaux and Assessor Martin
to visit the Martin we'll, the OBJ
ject Of their visit here being to
look into the oil field with a
view of investing. They re-
manned a while at the Martin
well. Gov. Hogg seemed
particularly pleased with the
prospects Of the we'll and said
that he had seldom seen d more
beautiful country. After their
stay at the we'll the party drove
to Oakbourne, the home of Col.
BreauX. After enjoying the
hospitality of Col. Breaux's
family until a late hour in the
afternoon Gen. Miles and Gov.
Hogg, in the company of Col.
Breaux and Mrs. SimOnds of
Charleston, visited Anse La
butte where an opportunity was
given the visitors to see the
great productiveness Of that
field. Mr.. Scott Haywood, who
is directing the work of bail
ing Haywood No. 1 preparatory
to the use of an air compressor,
led the way first to No. 1 and
then to No. ? where enough
pure oil was shown to prove
that both wells will produce oil
in paying quantities. Gov. Hogg,
who has been a very successful
Oil man and a great factor in the
development of the Texas fields,
made a close eXaminatio of the
wells and expressed the opinion
that the Anse Labutte field was
a good thing' and needed
only to be developed to yield
great wealth. Other wells were
visited all making most favor
able impression on the visitors.
The big Texan and his friend
remained here until Wednesday
when another visit was made to
the Martin we'll. After his first |
visit the day before Gov. Hogg
said that he believed this field !
would be a good one and We'd |
neSday he offered additional |
evidence of his faith by buying
from Mr.. Martin the oil rights
on two arpents of land situated
about three acres from the
we'll. The governor Interested /
his friend Gen. Miles in the !
as his name figures
in the sale as one of the pur
chasers. Gov. Hogg said that !
he was greatly Influenced in
this investment by the !
favorable opinion of Mr.. Scott |
Clay whom he knows to be a re- /
liable and competent driller.
The sale was passed by Mayor
Catfery in the governors pri-
vate car. The price for the two
is $500.
tits believed that Gov. Hogg
Will make other investments in
ibis section. Before leaving he
secured information concerning
L number of tracts adjacent to
he oil fields.
The governors visit here and
lis investment are the cause of
great salts faction among the
ocal Oil people as he is recog-
1ized to be one of the most (
successful and enterprising oil
men in the Southwest.
