The dairyman is entitled to liberal
compensation, as he represents the
most strenuous branch of husbandry.
The dairyman is confined to his work
every day in the year and follows a
branch OF live stock industry that
needs methodical. systematic manage
ment. The dairyman is compelled to
place business before pleasure or suf-
fer serious losses. Regularity in feed

secrets of success in the dairy indus

that are being operated at a loss. The
life of dairy COW is estimated at
seven years and her annual deprecia-

about ten miles from here The lad
met his fate as the direct result of the
spirit of lawlessness which has ruled
at the school for some time, and the
officials OF White county are making
an investigation with view to arrests
and criminal prosecutions.
Stintson was found early the other
morning hanging head downward from
sapling near the school. A rope tied
around his ankles suspended him from
the tree. When discovered the lad was
unconscious from the rush of blood to
his head. He died shortly after he
was cut down by passer-by
The lawlessness at the school which
led to the fatal hazing of Stintson be-
gan some months ago when the boys
attending the school determined that
they would not respect the authority
of their teacher. The pedagogue in
charge of the school at the time they
rebelled was driven away and threat
ened with physical violence If he re-
turned.
Another was secured by the trustees
of the school district, but he did not
remain at his new task for an entire
day. He was literally chased from the
schoolroom, and was glad to give up
his charge and leave the county.
Other teachers were hired, but Shey

husbandry should receive reasonable
profits.
There is no class of farming more
under the control of the proprietor
than dairying. 1t is a branch of hus-
bandry that calls for the exercise of
intelligence and judgment. The mer-
chant and the manufacturer keep a
record OF their transactions and can
tell whether their business Is operated
at profit or loss. The milk producer
can keep record of his cows and
weed out the Improbable members
and replace them with better perform
ers. To keep a record of the individu-
al production of the different members
of the herd will add interest to dairy
husbandry and show the proprietor
how to increase his profits.

boys met the same fate as those who
tried to enforce discipline.
Finally teacher was hired who
brought the boys to terms.
He arrived at the school several
days ago. At the first sign of a dispo-
sition on the part of the pupils in his
charge to rebel he took summary meas
ures. The first boy who came into con-
flict with him was soundly tkrashed,
and soon after several others shared
his fate. Discipline was restored. at
least during school hours
For some reason which the county
authorities have yet been unable to dis
cover the boys who had been whipped
by the new teacher blamed Stintson
for their humiliation. Whether they
thought Stintson had aided the teacher
in quelling the revolt or whether he
had urged them to rebel and thus got
them their beatings is not known, but
1t is certain that the boys determined
to ''get even" with him.
He was called from his home to join
That was the last seen of him by his
pdIeut5 uutii ne was carried Dack TO
his home unconscious.
From what the county officials have
been able to learn, the boys took him
to the schoolhouse. Here the hazing
began, and various expedients were re-
sorted to to torture the lad.
Finally the hazing that cost the boy
his life was resorted to. A saping that
stood near the schoolhouse was bent
down and a rope fastened to it. The
other end of the rope was tied around
the boys ankles and then the sapling
was released and the lad was left sus-
pended with his head a few inches
from the ground
1t is believed that the boys did not
intend to keep him in this position
long but were frightened away in
some manner. and none of them dared
to return to release their victim.
While they were running away Stint
son was making a frantic struggle for
his life. With his hands he grasped
the trunk of the tree and tried to work
himself from the rope which held him
in position in which he knew IL
would be as much as his life was
worth to remain. How long the strug
gle lasted is not known, but when
found it is believed that the boy had
been hanging for some hours.

Judge Burns Residence
DESTROYED

Between 10 and II o'clock Monday
night the residence of Judge Thos. M.
Burns was discovered to be on fire,
Judge Burns having been awakening
by the falling of curtain pole on the
gallery, the cloth of which had been
burned away. The fire had then gain
ed such Roadway that it was impos-
ible to save some of the most valuable
Of the contents of the house. The
alarm was turned in and the Fire
Department reached the scene a few
minutes later. Such effects as could
be reached on the lower floor, includ-
ing, piano, china closet, sideboard
and few other things were taken
from the blazing structure, also the
silverware and some of the cut glass,
but the valuable library, and pictures
that cannot be replaced, were destroy
ed.
The residence was handsome two
story structure, situated on the corner
of New Hampshire and Rutland streets
Dr.. B. B. Warrens residence being
but forty feet distant on New Hamp-
shire street. Back of the residence
was large barn between it and j. S.
Jones residence and across the street
was the Martindale residence, in con-
slant danger of adding material to the
confagation. Considering the near
ness of these buildings and the high
wind that was blowing, it was remark
able that the fire was restricted to
the building in which it originated.
The fremen kept the Warren residence
saturated with water and chemical
fluid, and beyond being badly scorched,
no other damage was done to that
building, but Mr.. Warren will suffer
considerable loss resulting from dam
age to the furniture in moving it from
the house, as it did not seem possible
that it co9ld be saved. The high wind
carried burning brands two blocks
away, setting fire to Badon's livery
stable, the Thiery residence, one
block, and the Bourgeois furniture
store, three blocks distant. These
were quickly put out.
The fire boys deserve praise for
their brave fight in preventing the
spread of the flames, and also credit
is due to the Abita Fire Company for
answering the call of distress and
the remarkable run from
Abita to Covington in the remarkable
time of twenty minutes, bringing their |
hand engine with them and being pre-
pared for battle.
Mr.. Fen Martindale carried his
mother from the second story of the
burning building to the landing of the
first floor and was then assisted by |
Mr.. Louis Hebert in taking her from
the building. All the occupants of |
the house barely had time to make
their escape, with such clothing as
they could secure in rushing out.
The loss to Judge Burns is about
