fall. He Immediately went to where
he had fallen and removed the
body from the track. The coroner
was called, but said an Inquest was
unnecessary. The body was brought
into the yards by passing freight
and met by Wilson's ambulance and
brought to his undertaking parlors
where 1t was prepared for burial.
The funeral was held fiom the

large crowd assembled to pay theiI
last respects to poor Carl. He was q
bright, active boy, full OF life and
energy aud had no bad habits.
A strange thing about this awfu
tragedy is the dream his mother hac

Last Saturday when Harry Young
went out west of town to look oyer

he took his shot gun along hoping to
bag some game on the road. He
carried the gun on his lap that he
might have it handy. Somehow the
gun slipped off and fell in such way
that it was discharged, the whole
charge passing through his left fore
arm. Some two inches Of the large
bone of the arm was shot away.

Mother Dogs Devotion.

During the terribly destructi We
floods which visited many sections of
the country, the following pathetic
story was told In a Kansas journal
1t is on The old, old theme of mother
love, only this time in dog instead
Of a human:
A colored man living next door to
one McDivett was taking care of a
fine setter bird dog. The old dog had
litter of niue puppies, of which she
was as proud as ever was any human
mother of the first little stranger that
came TO her home. The mother and
her family were kept In the barn in
the rear of the lot, and as the water
rose the colored man and his family
left home and went to the South
Side. They also left the dogs. The
barn was lower than the house and
the water soon was running in at the
back. The old dog took a survey OF
the situation and one by one she
carried the nine helpless puppies to
the house, which was little higher
Still the water cTept higher, and
once more her precious family was in
danger. Another estigation fol-
lowed, and the old dog made another
transfer, this time taking her family,
one at time, to McDivett's house
next door, which was set high and
dry.
But the flood had not nearly reached
the limit yet, and in an hour the
water was creeping into the one story
building, and the poor dog mother
was frantic. McDivstt, by making a
walk of fence boards from his back
door to the back fence, was able to
make platform there which was
tnree or four feet above the water.
There ne took refuge, aud there the
oil dog followed, swimming part Of
the way, but bringing every one OF
her family Of nine through to the
place of safety.
The water rose more slowly then,
and ii looked as If the mother-love
of that dog was 10 be rewarded; but
the currents ran swifter, and the
water Tapped higher and higher. and
Just before dark, McDlvett had to
take TO tree. There was DO dry
place in sight. The poor old bird dog
gave despairing look around, took
oae Of the puppies--her favorite,
perhaps-in her mouth, and started
away, swimming aimlessly about,
looking for safe place to land it.
Soon she disappeared In the current;

The PALMETTO CONFERENCE
Iha Plan Is 10 Get Railroad from This Cliy

Be 1t This Point.

Last week the Clarion had an edi-
torlal urging the people Of Onelousas
to organize and endeavor to get a
proposed new road, which now has
Port Barre as its destination.
There is nothing definite about the
route the road is 10 take, and as
Opelonsas can offer better adyan-
tages than Port Barre, it was sug-
gested that our people go after it.
u IS pleasing to be able To tell
that the Progressive League of One
lousas took prompt action. and d
delegation will be at Palmetto 1T the
meeting Monday. to urge the advan-
tages Of this city. Not only that.
but the Progressive League has CON
trIbuted towards defraYing the ex-
penses Of the Palmetto meeting. We
understand that there will be q bar
becue there On that day.
The people of AvoYelIes, partieu-
larry MereauYilIe and Plaucheville,
are anxious 10 get an extension Of
some line from Port Barre.
There IS no reason why the exten-
sion should not be from Onelousas to
these points, and the 0pelousas dele
cation next Monday will bend their
efforts in that direction. This would /
give direct connection with Natehez
Miss, and it is expected that a rep
resentative Of the Chamber Of Com
meroe ! from the Mississippi city win
be at Palmetto Monday.
A road Of this kind would doubt
less have its terminal in Opelousas. |
and it is Of vast Importance that
everything necessary be done TO-
land the Natchez road.
