Bad on Cane Crop.


Abbeville.-There is ia spell of
weather prevailing in this section that
threatens the destruction of the larger
percentage of cane remaining in the
field. The early freeze this season
damaged the cane more than was at
first estimated. Even the cane wind
rowed after the first sharp cold spell
and before the hard freeze is in bad
shape for the mill. At least third
of it down from the top is frosted, and
when cut out of windrow deteriorates
rapidly. In cutting this cane for the
mill the knives have to be lowered
one-third down the stalk, and 1T would
appear that the longer the cane re-
mains in the windrow the shorter the
cane will have to be cut.

Burkett, a widow, residing in Bossier
parish.
| Mrs. Burkett, whose testimony was
admitted because she was proven to be
bigamous wife, testified that Nelson
had repeatedly threatened to burn the
house SO as to collect the insurance on
| the furniture, which was not even his,
and after the fire he remarked to her
that if he could trust his wife as other
men trusted theirs they could become
rich by insuring furniture and then
setting fire to the houses in which it
was kept. It was also testified that
Nelson was everlastingly leaving the
gas burning in the house on retiring at
night, frightening his wife, step-chil-
dren and mother-in-law almost into
Mysteries.
| On the night of the fire Nelson took
all of the boarders and members of
his family to theater, an unprece-
dented instance of generosity ON his
part. He was the last one out of the
house. His wife wanted to return just
after leaving, in order to turn on a
light for the accommodation of a
boarder expected to arrive in their abb
sence, but he refused to let her go
back. The circumstances indicated
that he had opened the jets in several
rooms so as to allow the gas to es-

some time after the house was vacated,
caused an explosion, which came near

Nelson is charged in Bossier with
bigamy. Mrs. Burkett testified that
he had six or seven living wives when
he married her, and her testimony was
