Mansfield, La, May 2.-The State
engineers have been at work At this
place laying out a model road, which
is 10 be constructed by State con-
yicts, the people Of this vicinity pay
ing the actual expenses Of working
the conyicts.
Thd question Of good roads has ex-
cited much interest and from CONVEX
sation with those nearest to Governor
Sanders, il is learned that the Cover
nor has mapped out an ambitious
plan for a good road system in the
State, which is nothing less than
the betting Of The entire State with
model roads. It seems that it is che
Governors idea to start at New Or
leans and build q model road on each
side Of the river TO Baton Rouge.
From opposite Baton Rouge it viii be
extended to Simmsport, Bunkie. Alex
andrla, Monroe, Ruston, Minden,
Shreveport, Many, Leesville to Lake
Charles and thence along the line Of
the Southern Pacific back to New Or
leans.
The scheme is being freely dis
cussed as the fixed purpose Of che
Governor and as q settled policy Of
his administration. OF course, other
parishes than those along the belt
line win be encouraged and aided to
bnild good roads, but al effort viii
be made 10 accomplish this gigantic
task at least.
It IS very probable that the first
link IN this chain win be built from
Shreveport via Mansfield to Benson,
IN the south edge Of De Soto Parish,
as the road question is now IN Estate
of chaos, so far as De Soto Parish is
concerned, the Police Jury having

the depot, not dreaming that there
could be any mistake made, and
knowing that 8 box had been taken
of the train, concluded that that
was the box they wanted. He ac-
cordingly delivered it to the two me-
groes.
The men drove of, going III Che

Rapides. They had been gone two
hours when the mistake was discov-

horses and they gave pursuit to try
and reach the colored men before
they had time to enter the body.
They rode at q rapid rate and over
took the men and wagon at a point
eleven miles from this city.
The two negroes, Robert Williams
and Frank Clifton. were frightened
greatly when they we're informed Of
what the corpse was that they were
taking with them. They readily
agreed to turn around and make Ii

rious affair and they had to make it.
