GRAND JURY JANUARY 9th.

The Grand Jury for this Parish
will be impaneled on January 9th
1t is not expected that there will
be any criminal term of the Court
at this time since there has been
a general expression of opinion by
the lawyers that it would be well
to postpone it till later, when the
crops shall all be harvested and
the political furore is over. Judge
James Simon has not yet decided
Clerk A. j. Maumus says, when
the criminal term shall be held but
as there are not many cases on the
docket and as most of the accused
are out on bail, no harm will result
from a postponement.

Apparently it is an easy matter
for a prisoner to get out Of the
City jail. And also apparently
it does not require many tools to
force an exist. The police had a
negro locked up for beating his
wife yesterday and during the
night he calmly left the Jail and
fled to Loreauvilie.
Chief Migues re-captured him
and he is now lodged in the Par
ish jail where he cannot escape.
He made his escape by breaking
through the ceiling of his cell to
the loft where exit was easy
through the windows, then he let
himself down easily and was off
in the darkness. Luckily he was
traced by the Chief, and now will
have to wait the result Of the in
iuries to his wife.

WAGES
may Be REDUCED
As the Result of the oyer-supply of
Men From Weston Watt
ing Places.

Bartenders are getting quite num-
erous in Clarksburg just now. There
was full supply before Weston
went dry but now that the saloons
must go out of business there bar
tenders are coming here in goodly
number. Some have already Sc
cured positions here. and others are
after places. 1t is said that all along
bartenders here have been getting at
least eleven dollars week and now
there is prospect of the wages going
down so that they win receive at
least nine dollars a week. AS the
result the Weston bartenders will
probably not stop on here long but
go to other cities, where the price
for their services viii be higher.

TO ROB
BLIND WOMAN
Two Men From Glen Falls So Plot
ted But Police Tkwarted
Their Game.

A desperate and contemplate plot
was accidentally revealed last night
and the good work of the police pre-
vented its execution. Two men from
Glen Falls planned to snatch a pocket
book from the blind woman that is
soliciting aims on. the street. A
prominent citizen overheard them
agree to keep an eye on the blind
pair in charg of small girl, and,
when they thought her pocketbook
on her arm was pretty well filled with
money, they were to grab it and flee.
The police, however. were notified
and they in turn tipped the affair off
to the woman end she placed her
pocketbook in place Of protection.
She said she had been robbed that
way before. but did not think such
thing could happen in clarksburg.
With the disappearance of the pock-
etbook the fellows abandoned the
plot.
