AsHOOTING

On last Monday afternoon, fol-
lowing a quarrel, Mrs. E. M. Turner
attempted to kill her husband, E.
NJ. Turner, by shooting at him
with a pistol at the corner of
Bellevue and Union streets, but,
fortunately, for him, all the shots
went wild, and he escaped un-
scathed.
Turner was arrested and charged
with disturb blng the Peace, but
paid his fine Tuesday morning and
was released.
Mrs. Turner was arrested, but no
charge was made, and consequent
ly was released in a few moments.
~ agreement. of parties the
xsAfninal prosecution was sus-
pAdefon the condition that Mrs.
Turner leave town within ten days.
Mr.. Turner is a conductor on
the Frisco lines, and bears an eX-
cellent reputation among the rail-
road men and others who are ac-
quainted with him. 1t is said that
he will bring suit for a divorce at
an early date.

they are becoming scared. One
of them, Senator Warner of Mis-
souri,, who practically coducted
the prosecutioNa examined the
negro witnesses as we'll as the
white ones, has decided to intro
duce bill providing that the
President may restore to the army
and give back pay to any negro
soldier who can prove his entire
innocence of having had a part in
the assault, to the satisfaction OF
the War Department. This is, OF
course, a far better measure than
the Foraker bill which provides
thasIhe President must restore all
the discharged negroes, innocent
and guilty alike, but then Mr..
Folssker knows perfectly well that
his bill will never PISS, will never
even bereported from the Commit
tee, and he is merely seeking to
vent his spleen against Roosevelt
and Taft. Incidentally, the fact
that the Republican State Con-
vention of Missouri, which in
structed it's delegates for Taft,
elected four neggpes as aiternates
to the convention, may have also
been the result of Mr.. Warmers
anxiety.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma made
a splendid imprassion in the Senate
last Wee8 when he debated the Al
drich bill, which, by the way, will
probably be passed by the Senate
this week. Mr.. Owen exhibited a
perfect command of language and
a fine presence when he made his
maiden speech. Later. however,
he, unfortunately, advocated an
amendment to the Indian Ap-
preparation bill which would oper-
ate to remove all the restrictions
which Congress has placed around
the transfer of his lands by the In
dian, legislation based on the idea
that the Indian is not yet compe-
tent to deal with white men and
part bloods without getting cheat
ed. Mr.. Owen took the ground that
inasm> as the Indians Of the
Ffye civilized Tribes had been alb
sorbed by the State of Oklahoma,
they were no longer Indians, but
citizens of the United States. The
unfortunate feature of the af-
fair was that Senator Owen has Sc
cured options on about three
thousand acres of the finest land
in Oklahoma which he is seeking to
purchase from the Indians at
prices which the Secretary of the
Interior maintains are merely nom
inaI. Under these circumstances,

assessed with a vehicle and per

go exclusively toward the mainte-

roads. The tax yields quite a
handsome sum annually, and is en-
tirely adequate to put and keep
the public roads in thorough good
order. 1t is, therefore, but natural
to expect our roads to be in at
least a passable condition, yet
from many sections of the parish
come the reports that bog holes,
dilapdated bridges and imperfect
drainage have rendered them we'll
nigh impossible. This condition
should not be, and the Grand
Jury has done we'll to@3ok into the
mater. But, gentlemen, let the in

the subject is an important one,
and worthy of consideration, and

The Grand Jury, in it's recent
written report to Judge Lewis, has
touched upon a subject that
ought to be near and dear to every
St. Landrian. 1t has called the at
tention of the Court to- the fact
that the public roads in some Sec
tions of the parish are in aNeplor-
able condition, and this in face of
the fact that there are ample
funds with which to carry on the
work. In truth, the funds are uti-
lized all right, but the results are
not atsall commensurate with the
cost, that is, in some portions of
the p4ish.
The Grand Jury has undertaken
an investigation of this matter
and proposes to bring before tie
bar of justice all who feast
on the public road fund without
giving the necessary quid pro quo
in the shape of work. The Jury, in
It's report, somewhat tersely, but
truthfully asserts that the road
contractors should be taught that
the public pay taxes for other pur;7
poses than to support them in idles
ness, and we trust that this very
salutary lesson will be admins
tered should tfg investigation de-
velop the necessity Of It.

ST. LANDRY HORSE FOR
GOVERNOR SANDERS
Local Friends and Admirers of the
Democratic Nominee Are the
p Donors.

Judge L. J. Dossmann on Mon
day shipped to Gov
ernor J. Y. Sanders at Franklin, a
handsome saddle horse, the gift of
a number of St. Landry friends
and admirers of the Democratic
nominee. The animal is a magni-
ficent specimen of horse flesh, and
had been ridden by Governor
Sanders on the day Of the recep-
ton accorded him at EQnice last
October and greatly admired by
him. The horse was purchased by
the donors from special Police
Officer Harry Williams of this city,
who raised him from a colt. The
animal is of a beautiful dark bay
color with black name and tail
and is a splendid saddle horse.
The following is Judge Doss-
mann's letter accompanying the
gift:
"Your friends ard admirers of
St. Landry parish have delegated
to me the pleasure of presenting to
you Van R., the horse which you
rode in the Eunice Sanders par
ade. q =
They beg me to assure you
that it affords them much pleas
ure in rendering to you this slight
token of the high esteem in which
you are held by them, and on my
part, | consider it an honor to
serve as the intermediary.
II ship the horse to Franklin
today.
Hoping that Van r. will
prove an object of usefulness as
we'll as a source of remembrance of
the confidence and esteem of your
friends in Empire St. Landry, [
am, as ever, Your friend,
81. J. DossMANN."
Governor Sanders has ac-
cepted the horse with many thanks
and will take te e+DNBaat4fqep as,I2 3 eUtsge Ue4Pt
