ON SERIOUS

Gust Johnson, who was arrested
some time ago on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill, and whose
case is still pending. was arrested
again yesterday on a charge of as
sault and battery. According to the
complaining witnesses, Johnson en-
tered their cabin and gave them a
severe beating. They claim that
Johnson did so because of their hav-
ing made charges against him of hav-
ing demanded money from them in
order to hold their jobs. The as
sault took place at Copper Flat and
the warrants for Johnson's arrest
were sworn out at Riepetown. John
son is a Greek.

ACADIA TAXPAYERS TO
RESIST 0. GEE TAX.
Ordnance Putting into Effect said 70 Be
irregular, and the Parish Is Collecting
Taxes for Municipality.

And now comes several wards Of
Acadia with a suit to annul the levy
of the special tax in favor Of the
OpeIousas. Gulf e Northeastern Rail
road, and resisting its payment.
A suit having the same point in
view was instituted in the first ward
of ST. Landry some months ago, but
dismissed by the court. Tt did not
involve the same points as does the
Acadia litigation, however.
The Acadia suit, according to the
Signal attacks the validity of the
tax authorized by the third and sec
ond police jury wards Of that parish
in favor Of the O. Gee. The tax is
for FIVE mills for ten years and the
ground upon which its validity is
attacked is that it was voted on in
justice wards, and a majority of the
qualified voters did not approve the
tax, although it carried by a majority
of those voting.
Examination of the tax voted
il favor Of The road is said to reveal
other interesting points. It develops
that while The tax is now being col
leeted, no tax has ever been formally
levied il any Of the wards BY the
police jury, although the result of
The election authorizing the levy has
been formally promulgated.
Another feature of the situation is
that the parish tax collector has
spread the railroad tax affecting the
corporation Of Crowley on the parish
tax rolls and is now collecting this
tax, which should be done by the
city tax collector.
The statement is made that colIec-
tion of the tax will be resisted in
the third ward on account of the IL
legality Of the election, and in the
municipality Of Crowley on the ground
that the parish has no right to col
lect the tax.

Schmidt had asked what kind Of inn
migrants, if we had any choice, this
section desired, and if there was any
prejudice against any particular class
of people. Mr. Lewis assured the
gentlemen that we entertained no
prejudice against any class of inn
migrants-that so long as they were
desirable, thrifty, peaceable citizens,
we wanted them, and would welcome
them with open arms. He touched
upon the opportunities this country
held in store for good immigrants.
DIR. A. ]. Bercier was called upon,
and responded in one of his WelI-poised
talks, speaking particularly Of the
need of manufactures for 0pelousas.
He called attention to the fact that
most Of The manufacturing enter
prises here now had been built and
were being operated by home people
for instance, the oil mill, the ice
factory, the compress, the cotton gins,
the brick yard and concrete works,
etc. He said that this showed that
the home people had confidence in.
their town, and should be an induce
ment for foreign capital to come here
and engage in other manufacturing
enterprises. Mr. Kline at once re-
ferred DR.. Bercier to the department
of their lines dealing with manufac-
turing enterprises, and suggested that
The Progressive League write to it at
once, which has been done.
The gentlemen of the Frisco party
were greatly interested in the historic
old places in our eity-the Lacombe
Hotel, the old arsenal, converted into
a pretty office building by Messrs.
& LaWler; the site Of the old
Catholic church, and many other
around which the moss Of
antiquity clusters.
Many camera pictures were taken,
the party having an artist with it,
and data gathered for a Write-up.
A motion by Mr.. Thos. Fl. Lewis
prevailed to the effect that the Pro-
gressiVe League and the real estate
men Of this parish prepare data and
statistics, together with prices of
lands, and any real estate %opportuni-
ties in their charge or known, these
to be furnished the immigration de-
partment Of the Frlsco-Rock Island.

EXPLAINS The FISH LAWS.
Calcasleu Game Warden Issues Statement foE
the Benefit Of SpOFismeH.

The state game and fish laws, es-
pecialIy the section pertaining to
catching fish, has been a subject Of
50 much confusion and misunder-
standing that Game Warden T. S,
East has issued a statement, quoting
the law in regard to fishing, says the
Lake Charles Press. Many persons
unintentionally break the law because
they are not familiar with it or be-
cause they do not know the old sta
tute was changed by the last legisla-
ture. Mr.. East's statement is as
follows:
The law governing fishing is found
in sections Z and s Of act No. 12l Of
the acts Of the legislature Of the year
A. D., 1906, and read as follows:
Section BE it further enacted,
ETC., That it shall be unlawful for
any person to catch or kill black bass,
commonly called green trout, between
the first day Of February and the ff-
teenth day Of May, or striped bass,
commonly called bar fish, between the
first day of December and the first
day Of March, or cat fish except
spoon bill cat fish, and buffalo fish be-
tween the first day Of March and the
first day Of May, or any other species
of fresh water fish between the first
day Of December and the first day Of
March.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted etc,
That it shall be unlawful for any per-
son to catch or kill any bass except
by means of rod, hook and line; nor
shall any bass shorter than four inches
be had in possession; all bass under
that size that may be caught shall be
Immediately returned to the,waters.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted, ETC.,
That it shall be unlawful for any per-
son to use dynamite, drugs or throw
sawdust in streams for the purpose
Of catching or killing any fish in the
Of the state. Nor shall any
person kill fish at night by the method
Of striking.
Sec. 10. Be it further enacted, etc,
That no SEEMING or netting Of any de-
scription shall be done in the bayous,
agoons or fresh water lakes of this
'tate except on written permission Of
he board of commissioners for the
protection Of birds, game and fish.
Ali wardens and other officers are
empowered to c~oniscate any
,eines or nets being used without
'uch permission.
Sec. IL. Be it further enacted, ETC.,
That it shall be unlawful for any per-
Jon, firm or corporation to sell, ex-
expose, offer for sale or ex-
have in possession or keep in
,old storage, either for himself or
others, any Of the deer and fish men
in this act during the closed
seasons mentioned herein, irrespective
# the time, when or place where
'uch deer or fish may have been killed
or caught.
