President of the Law and Order

[Opelousas, ON last Monday, By which
to the saloon men agreed t0plead guilty
the charges pending against them fof
for selling liquor, in consideration thas
the Law and Order League, and others
interested in the compromise, should
use their influence with the City Judge
and the District Attorney, with the
first named officer to minimize their
fine, and with the latter to not pros
ecute them before the District Court,
The soIoon men further agreed t0
not sell liquor in violation Of the bro
hibition law, and to pay the 6nes of
Watson and DeVilliers, Sl0O, who
were convicted two weeks ago. and
withdrew the appeals in these cases.
They also agreed to have Nat Goner,
Nose Green and Van McCatFery plead
guilty to selling liquor, and pay what

Tell her that ! am getting too old
to work. Tell her that / am sick and
that she is also i'll. Her folks can
take care Of her, bnt they can't take
care Of both Of US"
This was the last message Of old
man Griffin, the schrimp king Of Mel
vile, the old man who had been ship
ping practically all of the schrimp
that is shipped from Melville.
The message was sent to his wife,
while he (Griffin) was perched up in
a tall tree, with rope tied around
his neck, the other end around d
limb of the tree.
After delivering this message the
old man jumped from the limb. His
body shot down twenty feet into
space, until the end Of the rope was
reached. Then his necked snapped,
and his misery was over with.
A friend, for whom he had sent, wit
messed the tragedy. He begged the
old man to come down from the tree,
and desist from his rash purpose.
II am coming down, as soon as / get
through telling you what want to
tell you" replied the desperate man.
The old man retired to the woods
alone. It seems that after he had
climbed the tree, he thought he should
leave last message before his soul
left this earth. He waited, up on
the limb Of the tree, until negro
boy passed By. He hailed him, and
requested that he run into town and
tell a friend Of his (naming him) to.
come to him at once. The friend
came, he delivered his last message,
and then swung down into eternity.
Old Griffin shipped all Of the
shipped into Opelousas.
He furnished the Lacombe Hotel with
all the schrimps used by it.
The tragedy occurred near Melville,
last Saturday evening.

promoter Of the road which is to run
from New Iberia to Port Barre.
Nj. Welch was in Opelousas sever
al days this week, closing up for

It now looks as if the road will
really be built. In fact from all ap-
pearanees it is now being built. The
Texas & Pacific system (the Gould
SYSTEM is anxious to connect with
the New Iberia country, the sugar.
section Of this State, and this pro-
posed road will do that very thing,
connecting at Port Barre with the
0pelousas, Gulf & Northeastern Rail-
road, a branch Of the Texas & Pa
clfic.
New iberia is now absolutely at
the mercy of the Southern Pacific, as
it it is the only road running through
there.
When asked il the New Iberia Port
Barre road would eventually extend
to 0akdale, Mr.. Weleh said that was
a question for the future to decide.
We are now building road from
New iberia to Port Barre. Maybe
later on the road will be extended
through Vile Platte and on to Oak
dale" said Mr.. Welch.
