Complimentary to Judge Dsatnsr.

The Picayune of last Monday
reproduced a picture of Judge
John S. Boatner, accompanied by
his two little girls, and which was
splendid likeness. Accompany
ing same was the following sketch
of Judge Boatner, which will be
of interest to his friends.
Judge John s. Boatner now oceHpy-
ing the bench of the Tenth Judicial Dis
trict, comprising the Parishes of Concor-
dia and Tensas, was born in the Parish
OF Caldwell ahou. fifty years ago, and
has Just, vie may say, reached the zenith
OF life. In his early boyhood, like most
all other boys of the South, he struggled
through the dark age of reconstruction,
the time when the very soul of the hard
lest was tried, and though young man
he lent his aid in Kidding his fair State
from the clutches of the carpetbagger
and black rule. He comes of one of the
oldest and best-knOwn families of Louis
iana.' He is now the only survivor of
the old family
Soon after the days Of reconstruction
Mr. Boatner turned his attention to the
study of law and rapidly rose in his pro-
fession. During his early days he formed
partnership with his brother, the late
Hon Chas. j. Boatner, who so ably
represented the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict for several terms in the National
Congress. They practiced in Monroe,
la, for about ten years. Mr.. Boatner
represented the Parishes of Richland,
Ouachita and Jackson as Senator of the
Twenty-fourth Senatorial District for six
years.
After the dissolution OF the firm Mr.
Boatner moved to Concorla parish,
where previous to his occupancy of the
bench, he had the largest practice, es-
pecially criminal practice, of any attor-
ney i'll this section. Four years ago he
was unanimously nominated by the Joint
Judicial Convention of this District to
the position Of Judge.
1t is needless to say that Judge Boat
ner has filled this exalted position with
ability, having had broad experience
as practiciDg attorney for twenty-five
years.
As a man Judge Boatner has those rare
qualities that are instilled in every South
Ierner, the qualities Of true gentleman
ever ready to give his time and help
to the needy. A man who can be APP
preached by any one; just and impartial
in his decisions, and above reproach.
Judge BOatner has been untiring in
.his efforts to secSre aid for the overflow
sufferers of this section. After taking
the matter up with the State authorities
without success, he applied to the Ma
tional Government, through Congress
man Rans1lell and the War Department,
and has been rewarded for his efforts by
not only getting food for the starving
people but planting peas and corn to
enable them to make at least something
when the water subsidies.

Attorney General Guion has
given it as his opinion that the
present School Boards can elect
the Parish Superintendent of Ed
Fucation for the next four years.
This opinion is important and a
far-reaching one, if it is followed
Eby the various school boards in
in Louisiana, as it will allow the
present school boards to name
the superintendent before the
boards that are elected at the
+ Regular election in November take
the oath of office. The terms of
the present Parish School SUI
perintendents expire before the
Boards that are to be named at
the November election take the
oath of Office, and the Attorney
General has ruled that in view of
the fact that this is the case the
old boards now in office can elect
the parish superintendents.-

BOY LOSES LIFE IN
TRYING TO SAVE
FRIEND
CAUGHT IN QUICKsAND, FRANTIC
YOUNG MAN DISCHARGES GUN
BY WHICH COMPANION WOULD
EXTEND ASSISTANCE.

YUMA, October 2i.--Accidental
death is the way the coroner's jury
reported on the death of young Bayard
Hubbart of Brawley, who was shot
while hunting last Saturday in the
Alamo river by his friend, R. Van
Wagenen. The story of the shooting
is short and was from one witness, and
he the one who held the gun that fred
the fatal shot. He was almost pros.
trate over the death of his friend.
Three of the boys who had been
working in the survey corps Of the C..
d. company, and who were the best of
friends, started from Brawley last Sun.
day morning in blackboard. Two of
them had guns, while the other one
stayed with the team and rig and was
not armed. About eight miles from
town the two having guns al!ghted and
started into the river bottom for ducks
and it was only few steps before one
of them sank to his knees in quicksand
and called for help. The dead boy was
not long in getting TO his friend and
took hold of the muzzle of his gun in
order to help him out, and he had hard
ly secured the hold before the gun was
discharged and the poor fellow sank to
his knee. The friend who was in the
sand asked if be was hit, but the boy
only smiled and reached to the point
where the shot entered.
On hearing the question Kink, who
was the one holding the team, ran to
their aid, and after getting Van Wag.
-enen out of the sand helped him place
the form of the wounded boy on the
blackboard and returned TO town. Their
hurry was for no purpose for life had
fed before they had even started. The
shot shattered several ribs and the
young man died from loss of blood.
There was no break in the friendship
of the young men, so the jury returned
the only verdict in accordance with the
law and the evidence.

WORLDS FAIR SUIT
IN SUPREME COURT
LITIGATION BEGAN IN SANTA
CRUZ COUNTY MORE THAN
FOUR YEARS AGO


PHOENIX, October 24.--The old
case Of Frank Powers and his wife,
Josephine Powers, against Ray Fergu-
son, the London-G Glasgow Mining com.
pany and the World s Fair Mining com.
pany came up to the supreme court
yesterday on an appeal by the plain
tiffs from Judgment by Judge Camp
bell in favor of the last named defend.
ant.
In September, 1903, Ferguson bought
or leased OF the plaintiffs group of
mines in the Harshaw district, includ
ing the famous Worlds Fair mine, out
of which the plaintiffs had already
grown rich. He was to pay $45o,000
for the property, but in the meantime
he was to perform certain work, on the
property yearly, and was to dispose of
the ore taken out. Ore of one charac.
ter was to be reduced on the ground
and that of another character was to
be sent to n smelter. Ferguson was to
keep for his share $l2 per ton of the
ore after deducting the expense Of
smelling or reduction and the balance
was to be deposited in bank to the
credit Of the plaintiffs. That was the
last arrangement, the contract in the
first place providing that all proceeds
of the ore after deducting expenses
were to be placed in bank in trust
The contract was assigned by Fer
guson to the London-G Glasgow company
and by it to the Worlds Fair Mining
company. The trouble began to accu-
mulate the next year and ever since
then the matter has been in litigation.
Action was brought by the plaintiff
against all of the defendants for the
recovery of all the money received from
the ores and for a writ of injunction
restraining the defendants from remoy-
ing any more ore. Money in the bank
to the credit of the two companies and
Ferguson, amounting to more than 81.
600, was seized by punishment, L being
alleged that the defendants were pre-
pairing to defraud the plaintiffs of their
share of the money.
The case as to the London Glasgow
company was tried before Judge Tuck
err, who gave Judgment for the amount
sued for, little more than $4,000. In
the case against the World s Fair Min.
ing company, the defendant was given
judgment. f|
