"TOve will find a way was demon
strated as true by announcement OF
the engagement of Miss Lillian Vim
cent of Morrisyille, Pa, and Charles g.
Clay, who resides near Yardley, Pa.
An angry father, with shotgun,
guarding his home from sweetheart,
the bringing into play Of a wireless
apparatus as means OF Communica-
ton between sWeethearts, and the at
tempt of a Tilted sutton to interfere
with the love wireless messages all
figured in a romance which led up 10
this engagement.
A year ago Clay met Miss Vincent
at Harvest Home" and for time
afterWard called at the Vincent home.
He had once worked in large city,
and this fact barred him from close
friendship with George Vincent, the
young W0man's father, who Is
farmer and does not trust city chaps
Clay was ordered to cease his calls,
but his friendship had ripened into
deeper affection. His love was re-
turned. For a time secret meetings
were held near the Vincent home, but
the father soon learned of these and
brought his shotgun into play. With
the weapon he stood guard oyer the
premises, threatening to shoot Clay II

Communication between the sweet
hearts for a time thereafter was by

Clay was once an electrician and tele-

He instructed his sweetheart how to
arrange a wireless apparatus above

PlaQuemine.--In the district court
Judge c. K. Schwing presiding, attor-
neys for F. F. Bouyy, who IS charged
with the murder Of Prof. Fred S. Van

They allege that confinement in the
parish jail during the summer months
will impair his health and prevent
him from being able to make the
proper defense when the case comes
up for trial in October. They also al
lege that the jury in the first trial,
having stood one for guilty without
capital punishment, seven for man

titles him TO bond. They requested
also that two physicians be appointed

out whether or not confinement would

HEAVY Loss in Tax Ieyies.

ManSfeld.-The assessor is about
winding up his work, and the police
jury will meet as board of review
on the first Monday in July, and the
assessment roll must be in the hands
of the state board of liquidation by
July 10. There will be a material de-
crease in the assessment of this par
ish, probably as great as 20 per cent,
and In case the board Of liquidation
does not raise the same, the finances
of the parish will have to be read
justed so as to come within the limits
of the receipts. This will be a serious
blow to the good roads movement, as
the ambitious scheme marked out can
not be accomplished upon the 2 1-2
mills special road tax levied unless
the vehicle and per capita road tax
is much greater than anticipated.
However, this reduction of assess
ments will be the more acutely felt
by the school board in the reduction
of the money receivd from the 3-mill
parish school tax, and the sums re-
ceived from the special school taxes
levied in the II school districts will
be considerably short of the amount
heretofore received. The principal
loss is on timber assessments.
