Of them performing manual labor, the
first some had ever done.
They are worked as ordinary pris-
oners are, and no mercy is shown
them for reason of their white hands.
They work with immense buckskin
gloves to protect their tender hands.
The new prisoners are marched with
the others, the guards with rifles in
hand, TO the works, where each man
is put to a task. Some were placed
in the ak gang, and some to Telling
trees. Quite a large number we're
put to moving logs, which had been
previously cut. The two men the
coroner stated were unable to do hard
physical work we're given a light job
in the grubbing gang, removing brush,
etc.
At night they are placed in the
sleeping tent on the bed clothing
used in the camps. and a long chain
is passed along the foot to which one
ankle of each prisoner is locked, not
a single exception being made. After
being routed out in the morning, and
washing up, they are served break
fast consisting of grits and bacon,
coffee, bread and syrup. They then
get in their overalls, pull on their
heavy gloves, and wait for orders.
Arrangements are being made to
send a special cook from this city to
the camps and to ship to the men a
good supply of good food and have
them fed more in accord with what
they have been accustomed. This is
all right with the superintendent who
does not object. He stated the men
would be served with a different bill
Of fare than the camp routine. Spe-
cial bedding and cots viii also be
sent out.

KNOCK DOWN AND
IN MAMOU.

On Sunday night last Arcesus r..
Fontenot, the 17-year-od son Of Re-
preventative Paulin Z. Fontenot, was
knocked from his horse by one Of
three young men, Albert Foret. Abbe
Foret or Adam 0rtego, and Fontenot
in turn shot and dangerously wound
ed Albert Foret.
Representative Fontenot, who was
in town Thursday, gives in substance
The following account of the ARRAY:
For some time past the Foret boys
had been harassing his son. On the
night in question his son went to a
revival meeting q Reddell. Knowing
the enmity existing between his boy
and the Forets. he insisted that the
former take along his Panlin Fonte-
not's) pistol, and buckle it on his sad
die pommel. This the boy did.
After the meeting the boy started
home. He was accompanied by an
other young man. Fontenot and his
companion noticed that the Foret boys
and 0rtego were following them-all
parties on horseback. Fontenot, ex-
pecting trouble, kept bis hand on his
pistol. But one Of his enemies came
upon him so suddenly that he could
not nee his weapon before be was
struck on the head with some heavy
instrument, and felled from his horse.
His companion departed from t h q
scene of conflict, leaving him semi
conscious on the ground. His horse
also galloped off. Eoatenot stag
gered to his feet, and seeing his as
sailant again approaching, fred. His
mark, which proved to be Albert Fo-
ret, fell TO the ground, shot through
the left side. Fontenot then retreated
abont fifteen spaces, and allowed Fo-
ret's companions to come WITH q
buggy and pick up their friend and
take him away.
tt is believed that Feret will re-
cover.

FIRE BOYS EXCURSION TO

SUCCESS
0peIeusas FIrenen Royalty Treated by Beau.

Receives Especial Praise.

=A
Look-a-here, don't ask me any,
thing about the Beaumont excursion"
said a prominent member of Opelou-
sas Hook & Ladder Co. No. /. when
asked some DOPE on last Sundays
excursion from Opelousas to Beau
mont. The treatment we received
in the Texas city, and particularly
from the fire boys there, is something
we will never forget. Talk about
Opelousas hospitality Why, the
Beaumont people can distance US any
day"
And such was the expression of
everyone Of the 0DeIousas fire boys.
They came back just charmed with
Beaumont and the Beaumont FIRE
company.
The fire chief Of Beaumont IS the
especial mark for the praises of the
home boys. 1t is said that the boss
FIRE fighter of Beaumont made 1t his
business to take charge Of the Ope-
lousas boys. and all day long exerted
himself in the direction Of giving
them q good time.
The FIRE company Melted about
$3.50 on the excursion, and are high
~ pleased with the result. They COM
plain, however, that the citizens of
0pelousas-those who should patron
ize anything that goes to help a vol
unteer fire company-were conspic-
nous by their absence either on the
excursion or in buying tickets.
The excursion train left 0pelousaa
at 8 a. M, Sunday, the 18th, with
148 passengers, and arrived at Beau
mont at 2:15 with BOG passengers,
rs being taken on at Eunice. They
we're received at Beaumont By The
fire department, the fremen being
taken to the Elk's Hall on hose Wsg-
ons. The Elks kept open house all
day, and all kinds Of nice things, es-
pecially nice TO residents OF q prohi-
bition town, we're laYished out free Of
charge.
An interesting feature Of the day
was a fire drill given by the Beau
mont department., which was the best
the local boys had ever seen. The
Department consists of three steam
engines, two trucks, three hose wag-
ons, and two chemical engines, all
modern and up-to-date makes.
The excursion left Beaumont at
9:15, reaching 0pelousas at 3 q. m.
Monday.
Everything went peaceably en-
route there and back, not a single
disturbance occurring.

GOOD PRICES PROMISED
FOR IRISH POTATO
CROP.

&E
Indications are that those who
planted Irish potatoes and will reach
the market in time will reap a rich
harvest.
The crop is apparently short and
late, and prices are soaring up.
This week Louisiana white were
quoted at So to SIS per bushel, III New
Qrleansy and while it is not expected
that the crop will bring anything like
those figures on the market, the 81
ard over mark is confidently antiei-
pated for May potatoes.
Going to show the scarcity of pota-
toes, the following Kindly handed us
by Mr.. George MoriartY of our city
clipping from the Kansas City Star is
in line:
The potato crop is becoming SER
ious with u.s. 7. T. j.. Mcnamara,
secretary of the Produce Mems Club,
said last night, Potatoes are so
scarce that a man with 100000
could corner the potato market easily.
The May crop Of the early potatoes is
late because Of late frosts in Texas
and other potato producing States.
! would not at all be surprised TO see
sspuds reach the 50 mark before the
end Of next month. And a produce
man win have to do some tall search
ing to find any old potatoes to supply
his trade before the new crop becomes
plentiful"
