Anti Race-Track Gambling.


The anti-race track gambling bill
passed the Senate on June 23d by
the hare majority of 81 to 10. The
fight over this measure was the most
sensa ti0nal and dramatic that has
been witnessed in a Louisiana legis-
hture since the proposed lottery bill
many years ngo. The fight has ut
tracted decentralization, and Gov.
Folk, of Missouri, has been particu.
lnrly interested. He sent a telegram
congratulating the people of Louisi.
auu upon the suppression of race.
truck gambling, and saying: "This
evil WAS banished from Missouri
three years ago, aud the results have
been 40 satisfactory that no public
man in the State to-day would dart
suggest u return to the days OF race
track gambling"
The Nce track gambling interests
are making big fight to have thi,
law set aside or defeated by som,
technicality, but it is not thought
they can succeed.

MurrelI Appointed Assessor.

Word was received here last Satur-

what of surprise to most persons.
az Mr.. Murrell had signed Mr.. Jeter's
petition to be appointed for the six
months unex pired term. Mr.. Murrell
told a humber OF persons that he did
not care to assume the duties of the
Office with the business vi the year
hall finished, and for that reason had
signed the petition for Mr.. .Jeter t.l

portion of the town rose until it
was two feet deep. The widest
scenes of excitement ensued as the
people rushed about to get their
effects in safety from the water.
The most Of the stores had prepar-
ed for such a contingency day or
two previous by getting their
goods up on their counters and
shelves, but about most of the res
licences there were horses and COWS,
chickens and pigs, and a host OF
other things to look after. BY
shutdown, men, women and children
could be seen on all sides wading
and stopping through the water
in their efforts to drive their ami
mails to places of safety, and the
squawking of chickens and other
confusing sounds could be heard
as the women folks and children
were getting things out of danger
When the alarm was given at l
O'Clock at least two hundred mel
rushed to the scene, and almost
the entire afternoon was spent In
the hopeless attempt to stop the
water by throwing mp a levee on
turnrow this side of the break.
This was finally abandoned. Late
in the afternoon the Big Pine MAN.
agement rushed a lot of timbers
and lumber to the crevasse, and
after hasty consultation of citi-
zens the work of putting in break
water and cribbing at the danger
point was begun. Fortunately al
S O'Clock, Mr.. W. A. Brownlee,
who had been to Alexandria on the
Soncrant launch, arrived on the
scene, and after hasty consultation
with Capt. Teal, j. W. Duncan,
and other citizens, the labor al
hand was organized into syste-
matte effort to put cribbing and
sacks of dirt in the break. At sur.
down the effectiveness of this work
began to appear, and by working
all night at 4 o'clock Friday morn
ing the water was under control
Except to fill in dirt to stop the
water that was flowing through &

At daylight the town awoke t.

that the water was under control
This fact WAS made evident by thu
receding of the waters in tn
