hief State Engineer Frank NJ. Kerr
lnspects Drainage Obstruction
of BAYOU Chene.

Frank Nj. Kerr, chief state engineer,
arrived from New Orleans Tuesday
morning in response to a request from
the parish police Jury, for him to
come and render an opinion as to the
cause of the frequent Overlooking OF
the Bayou Chene section of the par
ish. In company with police jurors,
F. A. Arceneaux of ward two, Pros
perO Verrett of ward nine and E. D.
Conner OF ward ten, who were ap-
pointed as a committee for this pur-
pose, he spent the day looking over
the situation. 1t is expected that Mr..
Kerr will make report in the near
future, recommending the removal OF
certain distractions that are doubt
less, in large measure responsible
for the present condition. Mr.. Kerr,
whose work extends throughout the
state, says there is plenty of drainage
in this state if it is only opened up.
He says if the people interested will
simply dig the bitches, there is always
sufficient fall to insure drainage.
The section that is being inspected
is one of the most fertile of the parish
and yet is becoming almost valueless
on account of the protracted overflows
which have occurred during the past
three or four years, which, it is main
tanned, are largely due to recent arti-
fetal obstruction of the natural
drainage.

NeeIey Case Up For Hearing.

Judge r. P. Williams and Capt. c.
A. Mccoy left for New Orleans
yesterday, where they will appear be.
fore the supreme court and argue the
case of the Fidelity & Deposit com.
pany OF Maryland, versus M. A. Neel.
ey of Calcasieu parish. This case
was tried before Judge Miller, OF the
districk court, and created great in.
terest here. 1t was decided in favor
of Mr.. Medley, and the Fidelity & De-
post company appealed the case.
Mr.. Neeley was formerly sheriff OF
Logan county, Kentucky, and the Fl.
deity & Deposit company furnished
his bond. At the close of his term, il
was found that his accounts were short
SIT, 500, and the bonding company
paid it. Mr.. Medley claimed the rea.
son of the shortage was that the taxes
could not be collected on account OF
hard times, and that he did not get
the money personally.
He. afterward came to Louisiana and
has lived in Louisiana for some time,
The Fidelity & Deposit company
brought suit against him on his bond
Mr.. Neeley claims that he has paii
$4,000 and that the matter had beer
compromised. The company claims
that this only released certain bonds
men, and that Mr.. Medley still owes
the balance. Lake Charles American
Mr.. Medley is one of the most high
" respected citizens of this section
and one whose business integrity il
unquestioned. There is no doubt ii
the minds OF his friends and acquaint
ances here, but that the supreme cour
will sustain the action OF the lowe
court in the above case.
