1t is a week or more since Engebret
Hotter and pair of fast broncs had .
mix up that would have made cowboy
whoop. and Engebret knows as much
about the perverse manners Of . gem
uine bronco al any rope buster west
Of the river. It was rough mix up
and Engebret got the worst Of the
deal. The trouble originated with
one of the broncos throwing his head
back so far to see II the driver was on
guard, that the movement threw one
OF the lines over the names and then
the broncos were ready for business.
Away they went with wh00p and
the driver was p0werless to stop them.
He went out on the tongue Of the
wagon to get the line In place but IS
soon as he got about half way, the
runners were headed for . four wise
fence barbed on top. He didn't want
to 60 into that fence on a wagon pole
SO concluded to drop to the ground
and let the wagon pass over him.
This would have worked all right but
the broncs we're disappointed In
not having anyone but themselves In
the wire act, so made sudden turn
as Engebret struck dear old mother
earth with a thud, disturbing the top
soil for a distance with his heels. He
figured it out and he figured 1t fast,
tilat he would be between the wheels
as the wagon bounded along, but the
sudden turn OF the cunning brutes
brought his right elbow in contact
with a wheel and the bones of his
forearm we're fractured. AS soon Is
the broncos found they were free to
do as they pleased they stopped and
looked around to see what had become
of the driver. They acted as II they
we're sorry for the trick and waited
for Mr.. Hotter to express his opinion
in bronco language, but he didn't.
He spoke to them kindly In Norske
and they seemed to appreciate his re-
marks for they walked all the way
home and refused to eat any supper
they felt so mean. Mr.. Hotter carries
his arm in sling and he says every
time the broncos see him they hang
their heads and act as II they would
en- joy being licked with rawhide.

A Horrible Crime.

The editor of the LEADER is under
obligations to DR.. F. A. Keep of Man.
haitian Beach, California, for a copy
of the Los Angeles Daily Times of
Sunday morning, October ., the day
after the Office of the Times was des-
troyed by dynamite and 20 Of the en-
ployes were murdered as they worked
in their several departments. Harris
on Gray Otis, owner of the Times,
was general in the Spanish-A Ameri-
can war and is one of the leading citi-
zens of that state.
1t was the most dastardly assassina-
tion known to modern times and the
union labor forces of that city are
charged with the crime. Besides the
20 murdered while getting out the
Saturday morning edition, Is were
injured more or less. The copy of the
Times sent us by Miss Keep was
printed in Times office in another
part of the city, which had been fit
ted up to meet any emergency that
might happen the original office.
The Times and the labor unions
have been at>War for 20 years or more,
and Gen. Otis, says the war for in
dustrial freedom will 60 on.
The copy sent by Miss Keep is made
up OF "a pages, and is filled with the
horrible details Of the assassination,
and a picture of the ruins of the
Times office is printed on the first
page. 1t contains kilograms from all
over the United States expressing
horror and Offering assistance.
The fiends who blew up the Times
office placed dynamite at the resi-
dence of Gen. Otis and another c1ti-
zen, but the machinery to explode
the dynamite failed to work and thus
many more Innocent persons were
saved. Labor organizations are
charged with the horrible crime, and
while the unions must suffer, in gen.
eral, from this dastardly act, yet it Is
morally certain that no union body
aided or abetted the murderous work,
it was the work Of beastly towards
who perhaps carry union cards. May
they be hunted down and hung.

County Option.

Vermillion Republican,: There is
this one evident fact relative to the
question of county option which
should appeal to all, and that Is the
propriety OF adopting the county as
unit. Each taxpayer Of county is
affected by the expenses attendant
upon there being intoxicating liquors
sold In the county. All taxes for the
support of the poor, the poOr-house,
the court trials = usually made doubly
high by liquor selling and liquor
drinking--must be cast as burden
upon the county, or upon the property
of the citizens of the entire county.
The farmers of Clay County have to
half pay the expense OF every trial at
court Of crime traceable TO the saloon,
or other tax imposed by reason OF the
same cause, and therefore ought to
have a voice and vote as we'll In say
ing or determining whether or not
the liquor business shall be carried on

November 9Th, 1910, the postpon
ment of the trial of the cause fol-
that reason would not be justified il
so far as the many other constitu.
tional objections which have beer
urged against the act providing fol-
the organization Of the parish Of
Eyangeline, as is set forth in the
petition filed in the above entitled
and numbered cause, all of which con-
stitutional objections are indepen-
dent of the objection contained in
their petition bearing upon the mat
ter of representation, and which lat
ter objection is the one to be affected
by the result of the election upon the
proposed amendment as hereinaboye
set forth; they urge that should this
Court deem it proper to postpone the
trial OF the cause upon this issue,
they are entitled to abandon that is
sue if they deem proper and to main
tain their right Of action against all
the other causes Of action set forth
in their petition.
They prayed that the rule be dis
missed; that the cause be now as
signed for trial under the orders of
this Honorable Court upon all the is
sues set forth in their petition; and
in the alternative, if the Court should
deem it proper to postpone the trial
of che issues bearing upou the con-
stitutional objection to the creation
of the parish of Evangeline because
of the present impossibility of fur
nishing said parish with adequate
representation, that they be permitted
to waive and abandon the portion Of
their petition bearing upon represen-
t~ation, and that the cause be tried
upon all of the other issues set forth
in their petition.
After hearing the arguments of
counsel for plaintiff and defendant and
a careful consideration Of the able
briefs filed by them, the Court has
reached the conclusion that the public
interest demand a speedy determine
ton of the issues involved in this
suit, and that it is certainly 10 the
interest Of the defendants herein that
the ease be finally passed upon by the
Supreme Court before the Ist day of
January 1911, at which time the act
provides that the parish Of Evange-

The Lord giveth, and the LORD

In the early hours Of a bright neu
day,
As on the bed of pain she Lar,
There came a guest from the beaDti-
full heaven,
To claim this child, which the Lord
had given.
Twas he whom we call the "Angel ~
DEATH"
Who kissed away her parting breath.
And carried her soul to that land
above,
And placed her in the arms Of the
God of Love-"
Oh what an aching void, in her par
ents' hearts,
When with their child they had ~
part,
She was a constant joy, at her
mothers side,
The ehildren's friend, her fathers
pride,
And though they feel It's a heavy
cross,
They know their Hilda is not lost.
But up beyond this world of pain.
A happy home in heaven. she has
gained. 80
And there she'll wait for those she
loved,
Till our God doth bid them come
above,
And live with her in that happy born.
Where all shall know as thew ars

And viii journey on, till their raea i

GOVERNOR SANDERS IS
RENDERED A ROUS-
ING RECEPTION.
Chief Executive of the State
Met At the Corporation
Limits by the Old and
the Young.

A pleasing feature of the three
days of grey in 0pelousas was the re-
ception rendered the Governor of the
State by the old Confederates, the
Sons of Confederates and the Ladies
Of the Confederacy, upon his arrival
in the city Thursday evening at 6
o'clock.
There was no organized movement
for the reception of Governor San
ders-they just went out spontan-
eousIy, as it were.
He arrived in an automobile from
Lafayette, where he had been attend
ing the Fair being held there. Capt.
Robt. M. Littell and his company (of
Opelousas), the 0pelousss band, a line
Of carriages several blocks long, met
him at Fux's store, just on the out
skirts of the city. The militia fired
the Governors salute, and the can
non on the courthouse square fred
salutes as the procession moved into
town. Governor Sanders headed the
parade, on horseback. with Gen. J. ].
Thompson. People lined the streets
on all sides, and cheered as His Elk
c~ellency passed.
The Governor made several adj
dresses to the veterans and sons Of
veterans.
He rode in the parade with General
Shafer Friday evening.

herein be suspended and stayed unit
after the result of the election upon
the aforesaid constitutional amerd.
ment shall have been ascertained and
promulgated.
On this application a rule issued
and raj made returnabIe on Septem-
Der 9th, 1910. On this day the plain
tifs through their counsel answered
this rule. They insist that they are
entitled at this time to fix and assign
for trial and to have tried the above
numbered and entitled cause upon the
issues as existing at the time of the
filing of the said suit;
That. causes of action are tried
upon the law, constitutional or other
wise, as it exists at the time the suit
is tried and that the trial of causes
cannot be postponed because of any
anticipated change or alteration Of
the law, constitutional or otherwise.
They aver that the proposed con-
stitutional amendment recited in the
rule can have no further effect than
amend Article Is Of the Constitution.
and that all of the terms and provi-
sions in the said amendment have
reference to and upon the provisions
of the said Article Is Of the Constitu-
ton and are not intended, nor a

other articles of the Constitution.
more particularly when the repeal Of
said Articles thus urged BY inference
would bring about confusion and
chaos in the application and enforce
ment Of the other portions of the
Constitution Of the State of Louisiana.
They aver that the interest and
the purpose Of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment is to Increase the
number of representatives to be al
lowed to the various parishes 10 as to
overcome the barrier created against
the organization Of new parishes he
cause of the exhaustion Of represens
tatives by the apportionment among
the parishes of the full quota allowed
under the Constitution; that Z
should this Honorable Court deter
mine that it is proper to postpone
the consideration Of the proposed
constitutional amendment until action

PEOPLE
MUST GO TO TRIAL
OF DIVISION CASE
Judge PaYy Renders Decision
Which Anti iyisiOnists Claim
to Be First Blood for Them

Judge PaYy Of the District Cour
last Monday rendered a decision
which forces the divisionists to trial
unless the Supreme Court says other
wise.
The anti-divisionists wanted an i'm.
mediate trial.
The divisionists wanted to della,
the trial until after the amendment
now before the people which the
divisionists claim will remedy the de.
fects Of the act is voted upon by the
people. The court decided that the
trial Of the case at this time would
injure neither party. The di~yisionists
have appealed to the Supreme Court.
The decision in full is as follows:
On the 18th day Of Aug. 1910, the
defendants in this suit filed a motion
alleging that the Plaintiffs herein
have assailed the constitutionality and
legality Of act Is Of the general as
sembly Of Louisiana eff 1910, said act
creating and providing for the crea-
ton Of the parish of Evangeline; that
at the same session of the
Legislature a joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to article
l8 Of the constitution Of the
State of Louisiana, was passed, that
this amendment will be submitted to
the electors of Louisiana at the cleo
ton on November 9Th, 1910; that
this amendment increases the number
Of representatives in the General As
sembly of the State from l16 to I2O,
and provides that when a new parish
is created as authorized by the con-
stitutien of louisiana IF there is
more than one representative in the
parish from which the larger portion
of territory is taken for the purpose
of creating a new parish. one of such
representatives may be apportioned
la the same act which creates the
parish"
They allege that said proposed con-
stitutional amendment further pre-
yides any act passed by the General
Assembly Of the State of Louisiana
at its session of 1910 creating a new
parish or parishes and assigning a
representative to each is hereby rati-
fed and confirmed"
That the act creating the parish of
Evaugeline assailed by plaintiffs was
passed by the legislature Of 1910 and
is enc Of the acts referred to in said
constitutional amendment should be
adopted it will be a complete ratiica-
ton of said act and no right or cause
Of action would then lie in favor Of
any citizen to assail the same. that in
order that exact justice may be done
all parties, it is necessary that plain

New Orleans, Sept. 27.-Two

Of the Southern Pacific train. leaving
New Orleans at 8 o'clock Mondag

made to rob passengers.
The robbery took place at Avon

Postofice officials at New Orleans
state that they could not make any

the case is tried in this Court during
the first or second week of October il
will not reach the Supreme Court
until the latter part Of November,

ton shall have been acted upon BY

adopted, the Supreme Court will have

The Court is SURE that the Supreme
Court will not remand the case to this
Court for it to pass upon a question
or law, for it is ELEMENTARY that they
will net do so. If this Court had the
east doubt that the Supreme Court
would not give effect to the new law
or remand the case it would not hest
tate to grant the stay order, bat the
Court is convinced to the contrary.
In conclusion | will say that no i'm
justice is done anyone by the trial of
the cause at this time, for upon the
authorities quoted by the plaintiffs in
rule, if the amendment be adopted
and it should have the scope and
force which the plaintiffs in rule claim
for it, the Supreme Court will take
notice of the change in the organic
law and will dismiss plaintiffs suit.
TIE trial Of the case of this i'm
portance will not have been retarded.
and there will not be the confusion
incident to litigation concerning the
organization of a new parish at the
time when it is sought to organize ii
definitely.
Those concerned will know with az
little delay as possible whether there
IS or is not a parish of Evangeline.
and public affairs will adjust them
selves with greater expedition and
with less turmoil.
For these reasons, the rule sued
out herein is hereby dismissed.

Moving Day in Hammond
Is a Joke, For Movers
Declare That People Can
Get No Place to Live;
Much Furniture Stored.

A lack of houses in Hammond has
practically killed the moving business
in Hammond for this season. May l is
generally the day for the grand exo-
dus. but the activity along this line has
been very dull, according to the reports
of the various draymen in Hammond.
Lack of business" said one of the
Golden Bros Draying company today,
is responsible for little moving. OF
course. we are doing our share of what
little there is, but this is nothing to
what 1t might be If Hammond had more
residences. Within the last few days
we have put the furniture of six fam
lilies in storage. just because they could
md no place - live. others flaxe mad
their furniture in storage for a month
waiting their opportunity for home
Hundred Houses Needed mt Once.
Hammond could easily dispose of a
hundred more houses" said S. e. Car
ley, who is also in the draying and
moving business. Judging from the
inquiries there would be much more
moving If there were more houses This
is not all. people who want to move
into Hammond are compelled to stay
out just because they canont find a
place TO live"
While I feel that we are getting
our share of the business" said w. A.
Jordan of the firm of Jordan & Diet
rich. I'VE find that our storage business
is growing in popularity. 1 know of
cases where people are actually kept
away from Hammond just because they
cannot find a place to live"
Fred Granger. who is also in the
draying and moving business, reports
that the moving this year is not as
brisk as it had been in other years. He
attributes this partially to the bad
weather that has prevailed, but he is
also inclined to believe that the search
ty of houses is responsible.
