Man Sentenced From Falrbank

Especial to Review


TOMBSTONE, Jan. 10.-One of the
most peculiar pleading set on record
in the district court for some time
was placed on file yesterday In the
affidavit OF Thos. McCalish, who was
applying to the court for a writ Of
habeas corpus. The second para

Petitioner further alleges that he

good will toward all men; so that in
response to the general impulse that
pervaded the good people OF the vii
lage of Fairbanks, toward generosity
and charity to all mankind, and being
full of the milk OF human Kindness,
did unwittingly and without premedi-
tation or intention absorb and imbibe
certain brands Of Fairbanks libations.
at the numerous and repeated invita-.
tons of his friends and neiglbors, to
such an unwonted enthusiasm and ex-
liberation; whereupon, a certain
peace officer not having the fear of
God in his heart, and being influenced
and moved by a desire to show his
authority and subdue the enthusiasm
of this petitioner did arrest and take
this petitioner before the said justice
of the peace on a charge Of disturbing
the peace.
Petitioner admits that he was
slightly intoxicated at that time bur
denies that he was disturbing the
peace in any p1anner. 4nd further al
leges that Immediately after being
brought before said justice Of the
peace was assaulted and knocked
down with six-shooter then and there

stone for a period Of Two Hundred
days. That being unable to pay said
fine, he was by said justice CON-
mitted to the custody of said John F,
White, sheriff with whom he now
abides.
Petitioner further alleges that SAID
sentence is in excess of and beyond
the jurisdiction of said Justice OF the
peace to impose under the lay, and
therefore alleges that the same is
void"
II is needless to say that the writ
was granted when the case was called
before Judge Doan and the prisoner
went on his way rejoicing, and re-
solved that he will not hereafter
spend his future Christasses in the
village of Fairbanks, as he believes
that the officers of that settlement
do not possess the proper friendly
feeling toward all humanity that they
should have at that time OF the year.

LOUISIANA NEWS
LATEST CLIPPINGS FROM
OVER THE STATE.
Crowley Rice Board of Trade.
The CrOwley Signal saws:

The Crowley Signal says:
A rice farmer suggests that it would
be advantageous for both the rice
farmer and the miller to establish in
Crowley board of trade for the sale
of rough rice, similar to the New Or
leans Board of Trade and similar in
stitutions in other cities. Inquiry de-
velops the fact that farmers are in
clined TO favor the idea and rice
millers look upon it as feasible.
The idea of rice board of trade is
not a new one. 1t has been taken
up tentatively nearly every season
since the rice industry assumed large
proportions in Southwest Louisiana.
Always it has failed to materialize
either because nobody took enough
interest in it or because millers fear
ed somebody would take too much in
terest in it. The experience of the
past year in selling rice on the bid
system shows that it is the best sys-
fem yet devised to get big prices for
rice, and the advocates of the rice
board of trade believe that it would
systematic and make permanent the
bidding system.

Antiprohibitionists Knocked Out.

An exception of no cause for action
was sustained by Judge Murff of the
District Court, in decision rendered
in the suit brought by j. I. Hagens

port against the Caddo Parish Police
Jury, to set aside the prohibition cleo
ton of last month. This decision
which has been anxiously awaited by
both sides. in the contest, including
practically every man and woman in
the parish, is generally expected to
mean settlement of the controversy,
although the plaintiffs, it is under
stood, will carry the case to the Su-
preme Court, endeavoring to cause
the District Court to pass on the al
legations. Judge Murff decided that
the matter was for the Police Jury
entirely, and that his Court had no
authority to pass on he alleged ir-
regularities of the election. In his
decision he cited the case Of Bossier
Parish, which went to the Supreme
Court. Shortly after the election the
Police Jury canvassed the returns and
voted that the victory belonged to
the prohibitionists, and that Caddo
would be "dry" in 1909. Since then
another Jury has been nominated.
The majority are ants, but they will
have no authority in the matter. The
anxiety was due to the fear of hav-
ing the election declared illegal, as
the "wet" Jury would not order an
other election, and prohibition would
be paralyzed.
