DANCE HOUSES Make
CRIMINALS OF BOYS
Thirty-two Cases Of "Drunk and nis.
orderly" Attributed to Influence
OF These Dives.

Special to The Neus.
Abbevfle, La, Jan. 13.-There were
forty-two cases before the District
Court Monday, of which thirty.two
were dancehouse cases-that is, dis
turbances at the six dance houses in
the parish. The merry dancers were
charged with drunkenness, or with
drunk and fighting. The prosecution
of each case will cost about $25 or
an aggregate of about $500, perhaps
$1,000.
All Of the offenders are young men,
under twenty-five years of age. Dis.
trict Attorney Nugler asked several
their age; one drunk was eighteen.
snd another was seventeen. The sa.
loon advocates claim that this unusu.
ally large number of violations is ow.
ing to prohibition, and the prohibition.
lists claim that it is owing to a viola.
ton of the prohibition law, and the
existence Of the dance houses. which
would not and could not exist If in
toxicating liquors were not sold.
There is n strong movement in favor
Of petitioning the police jury to re.
peal the licenses of these dancing
dens. They pay an annual license of
SIS each. the total revenue for a year
being about 800, while within the
last six months they have cost the
parish in the above cases alone near
ly $1,000.
AS the parish is about $4,000 be.
hind in its revenues, or lacks that
amount to pay its Indebtedness up to
date, owing to increased expenses. it
is very likely that this movement
against the dancehouse nuisance will
be successful.

Mr.. Harris was passing through q

he kicked up the barrels of shotgun.
Close by he discovered what proved
to be the skeleton of man, the bones
being bleached and evidently had lain
there for years.
The stock had entirely rotted from
the gun. leaving only the barrels and
a pair Of rubber boots, badly decayed
and falling to pieces, were close at
hand. The position of the article
would indicate that the man had in

No one in the county seems to
have any idea as to the identity of
the dead man or how long he has been

(By Mrs. Thomas B. Pugh)
o time roll back your curtains,
Let US behold today
The English and Americans
Marshalled in fierce array.
Show US the brave old Jackson,
And the men who with him fought;
AS they meet the noble English =
And strike for God and Right.
We see the English legions
In the dire confusion fall,
Az their noble leader falters,
Pierced by the fatal ball.
We behold the starry banner
Wave the triumph over the field;
And by that banner we will swear,
Never our rights to yield.
And each year on the glorious eighth.
Our children should be taught
How in the golden days gone by
Their noble sires fought.
Be taught that when their country
calls
That call they must obey,
And meath that starry banner
Must conquer in the fray.
I'm God we trust our motto is,
That motto bear in heart,
And wAeresoever our duty calls,
Wen bfavely bear our part.
Trust in the God Of battles,
I And keep your powder dry,
Be ready at your country's call,
To do. to dare, to die.
