There we lay waiting for nghlfall A
big wind was bowling over the woods
at sunset, and the dark came on its
wings an hour ahead of time. The
night was black and the lake noisy
when We got under way, bound for u

he was not afraid of the weather The

to wash over us II was every man for

like sledgc-hammer. and at every

GOURDAlN INDICTED.
Man Who Once Occupied Cell in To-
peIxa Again in Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The federal
grand jury has returned indictments
against Louis A. Gourdain, proprietor
of the Imperial bank Dearborn and
Madison streets, and John H. Dalton,
former proprietor of a north side sa-
loon, both accused of using the mails
to defraud
The indictments accuse. them Of
selling fraudulent options on alleged
oil lands in Louisiana. The indict-
ments state that Dalton and Gourdain,
acting under the name of the Louis
lana State Loan and Trust company
of New Orleans, purchased 1000 acres
of land in Winn parish, Louisiana, at
$1.50 an acre, plated the land into
lots twenty feet square, and offered
options on the lots for $50 each down
to so cents. These option certificates
were made to resemble lottery tickets,
and certain prizes. ranging from so
cents to S5 were paid as bait.
Monthly lists, purporting to be the
lists of prices bid for the oil lands,
were sent out to the purchasers of
options The indictments state that
the enterprise was a fraud; that the
lots were worth no more than 1 Il
cents each; that no oil ever was found
on the lands; that no bids had been
made: that the assets of the company
were 5000 instead Of s1,500,O0O.
