An EFFICIENT OFFICER.

The BANNER feels it duty in
cumbent upon itself to say a few
words of comm endation of our ne W
sheriff, w. 7. Peterman. Since
taking charge of the office about a
year ago the aw-abiding classes
can readily disc IN that he has
determined to perform his duties
without fear or favor and to put n
end to any and all kinds Of law
rssness. Sunday law observance,
( bling, selling liquor to min ors,
and many other attractions of
more or less consequence are
likewise given the attention they
demand and duly enforced, not
because of any special preferences
on his part, but solely because
they are laws, and as such his
duty is to compel their enforce
ment. Some time ago, to add to
the efficiency Of the service he is
rendering the community and the
parish, his office secured an ex-
cellent pack of bloodhoods for the
purpose Of ferreting out evil
doors, burglars, murderers, etc,
and these hounds have already,
in a number of cases, given the
most complete satisfaction Muir
derers and burglars have been
caught and brought to justice,
and only last Monday night
negro named Henry Joyce shot
and killed another negro, named
Manuel People at the saw mill of
the Baldw Lumber Co., near
Bayou Sale station, and in a very
short while after the murder
Deputy Sheriffs Louis S. Bigler,
Chas. Pecot, Arthur Martel and
Oscar Jones were notified and
started after the murderer with the
bloodhounds. The negro was
located in the swamps and cap
tured, all Of which was done in
about an hours time The
deputies above named deserve
special praise for this excellent
work, as they had to wade in the
water up to their necks to effect
the capture Of the murderer. The
success that has been accomplish
ed SO far in experimenting evil
doors is complete justification
for these dogs, considering that
the mere possession of these dogs,
coupled with a highly efficient
Sheriff and a vigilant force of
deputies, is unquestlonably deter
ring many criminals from plying
their dishonest work feeling all
most certain of being quickly |
caught and punished for their
crimes. The BANNER honestly |
believes the purchase Of these
dogs to have been wise thing
and their monthly expense very
useful investment by the parish
authorities. To again illustrate
the efficiency of Sheriff Peterman,
We will add that the trio Of mep
who were arrested here on the
night of March 9th by Night
Waterman Jones for the attempt
ed robbery of the postoffice here
and who pleaded guilty to the
charge against them before the
New Orleans court, were sem
fenced last Saturday in that city.
the leader of the
gang, received two years and the
other two, one year each in the
The bringing to
ustice of these men is the sole
work Of Sheriff Peterman and,
along with every good and law
abiding citizen of our parish, the
BANNER is glad to know that

Of standing on the brink Of events,

cares had hung even a little more
heavily upon him than was his desire.

troubles that beset him.
He was a we'll preserved man Of If

an erectness that bespoke pride in

was distinguished with that curious
individuality that causes those In the
street To nudge one another and ask
In whispers who another may be. and
he was unmistakably high bred.
True. his sense of honor that would
balk at cheating In card game or
the larceny of travelling bag was
not sufficient to debar him from con-

and helpless girls money with the
foreknowiedge of u lifelong misery for

This morning he was clad in an i'm
maculate suit of lightly striped white
flannel, with carefully pipeclayea shoes,
and the pale rose necktie that he
wore was a living monument to the
fact that the, well groomed English
man knows no peer on earth. while the
jaupty eXactness of his snowy pan
anna hat was a revelation In proper
headgear.
AS he entered the terrace his alert
glance swept it from end to end. and
he noted that there was no one about.
