We call attention to the notice
given the public by Judge Dupre
OF his intention to practice his
profession in this parish exclu-
sively beginning Dec. l, 1905.
To a representative of this paper
Judge Dupre stated he felt he
could no longer attend to his
business in both parishes; that
he must confne himself to one
parish only Whilst he was re-
Iuctant so to do, when confronted
with the necessity he determined
to cast his fortunes with the old
town which he thinks is destined
to be the Culture Great of
Southwestern Louisiana.

The newspapers of the South
continue to be full of comment on
President Rooseveit's recent tour
of this section of the country,
and it is all of favorable and
pleasing character. 1t is evident
that no utterances of his to the
Southern people has impressed
them more than his declaration
to the negroes at Tuskegee that
'.the destiny of the race is chiefly
in its own hands and must be
worked out patiently and per-
sistently along these lines. Re-
member also that the white man
who can be of most use to the
colored man is that colored mans
neighbor. It is the Southern
people themselves who. can and
must solve the difficulties that
exist in the South. y

Grand Jury Report.

submitted the following report :
We have examined into and re-
ported upon 66 cases, returning
48 true bills and Is not true bills,
thus dispos,ng of all the business
before US.
We invite the Courts attention
to the fact that considering the
large number of indictments re-
turned by this body as we'll as by
our predecessors, that longer and
more frequent jury terms are
necessary to try all persons
charged with crimes or offenses
punishable under the law. To
this end we urgently recommend
that the appropriation for jurors
and witnesses fees be largely in
creased by the Police Jury. We
recognize that no means for the
enforcement of the law can be
more surely depended upon to
abate crime than the certainty
that all persons indicted will be
promptly brought to trial.
We have made an official visit
to the Court House, Clerks Of
fee and the Jail, and we find
same in good condition with the
exception of the roof of the
Court House, which Is still in a
leaking condition. This matter
has been commented upon several
times lately, aud in our opinion
should receive attention at once.
We suggest that in view of the
fact that several attempts to re-
pair this roof have beeen made
without success, the contractor
to whom may be awarded the con-
tract this time be required to
give a suitable bond for the sat
isfactory completion of the work.
The Court House square we
find to be clean, but the curb on
the Landry Street side near the
centre of the block has receded
| from the sidewalk and is in need
of immediate repair. The side.
| walk itself at this point is in bad
shape and practically impossible
We respectfully urge the Police
Jury to have this work done al
| once; in fact, we are of opinion
| that an asphalt or cement pave.
ment should be built around the
square, and we recommend that
the work be done without further
| delay. A cement walk from the
pavement to the front door OF
the Court House is an absolute
| necessity in wet weather, and
should also be built.
We omitted to mention that
There are two leaks in the Jai
| which should be attended to; al
80 that two windows in the
Clerks Office are in need of re-
pairs.
When we visited the Assessors
Office he called attention to the
fact that valuable records in his
charge were in need of protection
and suggested that vault be
built for this purpose.
Upon our visit to the Jail sew
eral negro prisoners complained
| to us that they had not received
sufficient food, but in the opinion
of the members of the Crane
Jury these complaints are mo-
well founded.
The Court Officers, as we'll a!
the Jailer, have facilitated us il
1 our work, and extended appre
ciated courtesies.

LOWER COURT
REVERSED
U. S, Court of Appeals Holds
Minor Leases Are
Valid.

In 1908 the Indian Land & Trust
Co., of Muskogee, brought suit to re-
strain the Indian agent from putting
them off a tract of land just south Of
Muskogee and set up as the basis Of
their right to the premises lease
eGrom the mother Of the allottee, who
was a minor Creek Indian, says the
Phoenix. Judge Raymond held that
the lease was absolutely void, and that
the parents Of the minor Greek allot-
tees had no right to lease their chill
dren's allotments, that it could only
be done by a guardian appointed by
the probate court and after the court
had given the guardian authority to
make the lease.
The court Of appeals Of Indian Ter
ritory held in this case, which Is
known as the case Of the Indian Land
s. Trust company against J. Blair
Shoenfelt, Indian agent, and is COM
monty referred to as the "minor lease
case, /" that the court could approve
the leases made by a regular guardian,
but sustained Judge Raymond's hold
ing that lease made By the parent
was void.
The case was taken 10 the United
States circus court Of appeals for the
eighth circuit and was argued orally
before that court in st. Louis last
December. Judge Preston G. West,
OF this city, presenting the case for the
trust company, and Mr.. Horace Dyer,
assistant United States attorney for
the eastern district Of Missouri, on
Behalf Of the Indian agent.
Judge West received a telegram
Saturday from the clerk OF the United
States circuit court Of appeals advis.
ing him that a decision had been
handed down by the court reversing
the opinions Of the lower courts.
This means that the circuit court OF
appeals has sustained the validity OF
the leases made by the parents Of
minor Greek allottees, and that it is
not necessary for such parents to be
appointed by the court as guardian,
OF have any authority from the court
70 make such leases.
