Number Of Burg.aries.

From the number of burglaries oc-
curing in New Iberia recently it
would seem that an organized raid
OF craftsmen has been planned. A
few days ago thieves got away with
the contents Of safe at the railroad
depot at Segura, and later the post
office and stores of M. Romero and
A. Bernard were entered and robbed.
At Oliver, this parish, thieves got in
to the safe at the depot and took
away the contents, about $40. The
safe has been turned upside down
and the bottom beaten out with axes
util the contents could be reached.
No one seemed to hear any noise
or suspected the robbery was going
on. The plan of the gang is to work
only those stations that are unim-
portant, which are to a certain ex-
tent unguarded, being able to do

his decision in the suit brought by
J. E. Edmonds, formerly State Print
er, against State Auditor Capdeville,
to compel the latter to issue warrants
for about $4,000 in printing bills,

on the ground that funds then in the

bills, but only for those under the
new contract. Judge Brunot decided
in favor of Mr.. Edomnds, saying that
he was entitled to warrants for all
his proper bills against the state of
