convention held in Louisiana

Mitchell is from Louisiana, and has
been wandering through the forests and
fields between here and there for the last
month on his way to the Capital for his
coronation.
The ceremony was a simple one. The
big nomad walked into the law Office and
signed a paper. wherein he vowed to pro-
tect the interests of his subjects. and
wherein they were to pay him the regu-
lar amount Of tribute.
Mitchell had several members of his
family with him. and Immediately after
the ceremony he went with them to the
gypsy camp outside the city, and made
merry.

the election Of the new king:
