regretted. He leaves wife and son,

The Courier representative. was
unable to see Mr.. .Vidrine, but from
Mr.. Richard the following was ell
cited: Il have been bulldozed
and insulted by my aggressor for
some months past, and my for
bearance had weakened, hence the

Mr. Vidrine' likewise considers
that he was nlIstreated and
wrongfully attacked by Mr.. Ri
chard.

fculty are well known in Opelou-
sas, and are we'll and favorably
