The Lake Charles Press publishes
the following obituary of Cladius
Mayo, whose death in Lake Charles
caused much sorrow among his many
friends in 0pelousas:
'Claudius Mayo, United States Com
missioner for the Western district OF
Louisiana, died at the residence OF
his son, A. NJ. Mayo, in this city last

the public schools of his parish and
spent the earlier years of his youth
and young manhood in Washington
and Opelousas, conducting a drug
store in the latter city for many years.
In 1888 Mr.. Mayo came to Lake
Charles and accepted a position as
deputy under his brother, Thaddeus
Mayo, who was at that time district
clerk for this district. He remained
in the clerks Office until 1890,
when he was appointed deputy
United States collector of internal
revenues, which position he held un-
til 1888, when he was appointed
United States commissioner, holding
the latter important Office until his
death.
His wife died several years ago,
and his son, Hon. A. NJ. Mayo, of
this city, with his brother, Thad. Mayo,
of this city, and w. H. Mayo Of st.
Louis, survive him.

Editor Gill Visits Us.

Jos. Ad. Gil, editor of the Eunice
Gall, was in Opelousas Monday, shak-
ing hands with relatives and old
friends.
He tells us that the late rains have
impeded farming operations to an
alarming extent in his section. Very
little cotton and rice have yet been
planted, and those who were early
will have to replant. The entire
country over there is inundated, and
the crop will doubtless be a short
one.
He also tells us that the hoodlums
in that section are still having a
merry time. A few days ago a band
of these fellows got on a spree in
Eunice, and three miles from there
stopped in front of a peaceful farmers
house and proceeded to whoop and
make things lively in general. The
farmer came out and shot in the
crowd, wounding one. They dispers-
ed, and the next day the wounded
fellow came to Eunice to make an
affidavit against the farmer who had
defended his home, but was advised
that the best policy to pursue was to
let the matter drop and make no
fuss.
He took the advice, and is now
nursing his shot-peppered flesh.

Mr.. Sylvester did not consider at
the time he first took the levels that
it was enough out to make it worth
while to level the tank; but if it is
now considered necessary by the
proper authorities, there is no reason
why the work should not be done, as
it does not amount to much either in
time or money"

Dies From TaIaniuIa Bite

Pero Flores died at the Yuma
county hospital this week from
the bite of some insect supposed
to be a tarantula. One night about
four weeks ago while sleeping on
the ground, he was awakened by
a sting in the face which at first
caused a swelling and later num-
Der OF abseesses. After suffering
for weeks be went to Yuma and
placed himself under the care of
Dr. Ketcberside, but, though
every remedy that medical
science has discovered was used,
the poison continued to spread
and finally penetrated through the
eye to the brain, causing his death.

Accommodating Train Crew

As the southbound G. ", & N.
was pulling from the Stafford station
a few days ago young and hand
some woman was seen running
down the track at top speed franti-
cally waving a sweetscented silk
handkerchief, whilea man stood
on the rear platform shouting
words, taken by the trainmen to
mean for them TO bring the train to
to stop, whereupon the conductor
signalled the engineer to slow
down. The woman came up smil-
ing, kissed the man, thanked the
conductor and departed. The ex-
pressions of the tralnmen IN reply
we're lost in the noise of the depar-
ting trai n.

Taken on Probation

The hearing Of Sam u. Roberts
before tn. city council, wherein
he was CITED 70 show cause why
he should not be removed from
he Office Of marshal of Stafford,
was had last Saturday night.
Nh. Roberts was informed that
citizens had complained that he
had been absent from town several
days at time on different occas-
ions, without leaving deputy,
that while he was gone the last
time a case came up wherein it was
nesessary the marshal should act,
that he had been suspended and
W, T. Johnson appointed in his
stead. Also that complaint had
been made that he was in the habit
Of neglecting the duties Of the Of
flee even when homo.
MIR. Roberts admitted that he
had left town without leaving a
deputy, except, he said, when he
left the last time he had appointed
Billy Robertson deputy pound
master. He also admitted that he
had not attempted to attend to the
duties Of the marsha's Office, ex-
cept to attend to the pound and
collect licenses, as he supposed
that Constable Johnson was doing
the rest. He said he had asked the
justice of the peace for warrants of
arrest and that officer had refused
TO give them to him. This was
denied by Justice Fonda, except,
he said, one that Mr., Roberts had
asked for for the arrest Of woman
who had taken her cows from
him, after be had gotten some
one TO drive them within the
city limits, so that he could en-
pound them. Mr.. Fonda then
charged that Mr.. Roberts had not
been diligent in collecting street
tax, as be had allowed gang Of
railroad men who were working
within the city limits to go away
without demanding their tax.
After the matter had been dis
cussed for some time Mr.. Robetrs
agreed to attend to the duties of
the Office faithfully hereafter if re
tanned and also said be would APP
point deputy ifthe council would
recommend some one. The coun-
Gil recommended w. 7. Johnson.
Mr., Roberts said he did not care
for the office but did not care to
give it up on the kick of lot of
bobos, which, of course, means
that most of the people of the
town, including nearly ali Of the
city council, are hobos. But if
Mr., Roberts will attend to the
duties of the Office as be knows he
should the hobos will not Kick.
but if he does not, the next kick
will be an effectual one.

WILL NE ACCEPTP

nW, B. Kelsy was today ap-
] inted as immigration commis-
s.oner OF Cochise county by the
board of supervisors, and will as
sumo his duties on the first of jan
uary next, Mr.. Kelly was also
appointed territorial fair COM
missioner, and will probably en-
deavor to see that the county is
properly represented at the fair to
be held IN Phoenix during the first
week in December. The appoint
ment is we'll made, as Mr.. Kelly is
ia a position to do the county a
vast amount of good by reason OF
his connection with the various
papers of the county"
The above was taken from the
Tombstone ProsPector and tells the
truth when it says the appoint
ment was well made and that Mr..
Kelly is in a position to do the
county vast amount of good.
But can Mr.. Kelly accept the po-
sition of fair commissioners in face
of the fact that less than two
weeks ago, the ReUis,c, of which
Mr.. Kelly is editor was fight
ing the fair, on account of the min
ing raises made by the territorisl
board Of equalization, and told
Luther Green, commissioner of
Graham county, that he was a
"chnmp" 10 even try 10 get up a
display for the fair from this
county. Said IL was impossible
for him 10 do anything as the
Phoenix people would see to it
that every cent Of appropriation
went for their individual benefit.
1t is 10 be hoped that the editor
Of the Revieo has changed his views
on the subject and will do all IN
his power to havc>Cochise county
we'll represented at the fair. If
his mind has undergone a change
on this matter, il will not be long
before he discovers how ridiculous
ly low the mining companies Of
the territory have been assessed.
