Black H0nd Threats.

Some time ago Game Warden
Maurice Frances of Lafayette ar
rested Louis Smally of that pa
IRISH, who was fined by Judge
Pugh $40 including the costs Of
court.
Smally was offended at his ar
rest and fine, ard repeatedly de-
handed from Frances that his
money be refunded him, which of
course was refused.
Recently the Warden received
a letter signed "gness who 1T Is"
demanding that $50 be returned
to Louis, referring to Smally, and
threatened death within twenty
days if this request was not COM
piled with. The Warden placed
this matter in the hands of the
Sheriff, and the result was that
Louis Smally was arrested and
jailed, but was released on bond
of $500.
1t was not long before the au-
thofities discovered that boy of
IA years. Lloyd Prejean, a son of
DR.. Ursin Prejean who is attend
ing the public school at Carencro
admitted that he had written this
latter for his uncle, Smally.
The authorities were satisfied
that the boy was not guilty of any
criminal intention in writing the
letter for his uncle.

The IntercOastal canal.

ton OF citizens OF st. Martlnvllle
went to New Iberia in three tour
ing cars to invite Lieutenant Rails
ton Of the United States depart
ment of engineers and Senator ii.
l.. Guedan, Chairman of the exc
cutive committee IF the lutercoas-
tai Canal for Louisiana, to come
over and look at the route we
had to offer them for the Inter
coastal canal.
Congress recently passed a law
authorizing the engineers III
charge To change the Franklin
route To any place ON the Teche In
order to avoid NermlIlion and
Cote Blanche Bays.
We consider that there are only
two routes possible, one is to
dredge a canal thirty miles long
to reach Petit ause and Canal to
New Iberia, which is the shortest
rome, but from Mermentou to New
Iberia, no town would be benefit
ted. The other route is the one
submitted aud over which Lieu
tenant Ralston and Senator Cue
dan passed Sunday. Bayou Yer
million is followed up to Lafay-
cite, thence 10y a canal three and
a quarter miles to join the Cypress
Island at the junction of Bayous
Goodbier and Capucin to the
Teche. This route is a lite long
or, but it would pass at the door
of Abbeville. Morrisville, Lafay-
cite, Youngville, Broussardville,
st. Martinville, Loreauville as
well as New Iberia and other towns
on the lower Teche and would at
the same time be in close proxi-
nifty to the upper Teche.
Another thing which should be
considered is the fact that the
Teche will soon be connected with
the lakes, making the distance
from the Teche at st. Martinvillt
to Plaquemine about forty mile.
or four hours run for any boat
while going around the Atchafa
laya by Morgan City, the distance
we believe is $50 miles. Is thi
fact not worth serious considera
