West Branch.-Three weeks ago
Adolph Pohl, German farmer
five miles southeast of this city,
was the defendant in damage
suit, and fearing judgment might be
rendered against him, drew $4,000
from the bank. He sent 5000 away and
left the balance in his house when he
went to attend court. While he was
in town his house and barns were
burned, with his years crops in the
barn. The theory is that some one
had ransacked the house and after
taking the money fired the building to
cover up the robbery. The loss was
estimated at $4,000, aside from the
money. The loss seemed to unbal-
ance Mr.. Pohl's mind, as he expressed
his intention of suicide and took his
life.

NEAR BEER DECISION
The City Has No Authority to Re-
quire License for It's Sale.

Judge E. w. Sutherlin decided
yesterday that the city is without
authority to require the payment of
a license for the sale of Hiawatha.
a notwithstanding beverage, greater
than is imposed by the State.
The suit was against the CITY of
Shreveport by Charles Smith, a
dealer in Hiawatha, whose conten-
ton was that the city had no right
to fix license of $500 per annum for
the sale of this beverage.
The case was appealed from the
city court, where Judge Blanchard
ruled that the city could not punish
the delinquent for selling near-beer,
but action to require the payment of
the license was by civil suit.
The case will be appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The defendants had for counsel
Alexander & Wilkinson, and the city
was represented by G, w. Jack.

VIvIAN's PROGRESS
Important Developments Expected.
Many Companies Have Plans.

The Vivian Times says the Sun
Company has drilled in a good pro-
ducer three and one-half miles east
of Vivian in the shallow territory.
The well is known as Brown No. 30
and is producing between $50 and
1000 barrels per day. The well is but
800 feet from the Barker well which
holds the lead as the largest pro-
ducer east of Vivian.
The Sun Company started back to
work on Hartzo No. i3 west of Wv
ian; also the Standard is drilling a
deep hole near HarrelI No. 7. The
Cudahy Oil Company is down about
600 feet on their we'll south of town
about mile. Nothing has been test
ed along this strip.
The Waguespak Oil Company of
New Orleans let contract to the
Etchison Drilling Company to drill
a deep we'll one and a half miles to
the northeast of Vivian. The ma
chinery is on the ground and drill
ing will start this week. d. w. Har-
rell, field manager for the new COM
pany, will make his headquarters
here.
Several shut-downs are reported
on account of low water. The heavy
rains of the past few days will cause
operations to resume, as about
twenty new companies have ac-
quired holdings for immediate de-
velopment an dthe heavy operations
will be in full swing by September 1.
The Sun Company drilled in a fine
water well on Christian Heights.
The we'll makes a solid four-inch
stream of pure water. They drilled
it for the Vivian Ice, Light and Wa
ter Company.

KETTHvILLE BARBECUE
Great Crowd from DeS0to and Cad
dO-POliticS and Good ROads.

The Keithville barbecue on Thurs
day last was great success not on
ly as to the number of attendants,
but in geniality and good fellowship.
The attendants came from DeSoto
from Caddo parish and Shreveport
Politics and good roads were dis
cussed before and after dinner.
The barbecue was excellent and
enjoyed. IL was sumptuous affair
most creditable to the committee
comprising p. P. Keith, F. C. Nagle
and r. T. Nelson.
In attendance were the police ju-
rors from Caddo parish: r. T. Doug
las of Ward One, A. ]. Scott of Ward
Five, Mr.. Sebastian of Ward Six
and F. G. Nagle of Ward Seven, who
with others discussed good roads.
The candidates in attendance were
Hon. Leon r. Smith, Hon. E. Wayles
Browne, Hon. L. E. Thomas, and
Mr.. David Samuels, who addressed
the people. There were others. from
Caddo parish who did not make
speeches, but mixed with the people
One of the unexpected announce
ments was by Hon. w. A. Mabry,
who in the course of his speech said
he was a candidate for the Office OF
district attorney. He was applaud
ed by his friends.

w. III. PRINCE
Released from custody on Bond of
S500O-White House Pantry Man.

w. H. Prince, who is connected
with the "White House Pantry
scheme, arrested in Chicago a few
days since, was released Friday on a
bond fixed at $4,000. The release was
secured on a writ of habeas corpus,
1t appears that Prince skipped af-
ter he had obtained money from a
number Of citizens.
Connected with the white House
Pantry" scheme are T. E. Nelson, a
lumberman. arrested in Hopkins
vile, Ky, and returned to Shreve-
port, and NJ. C. Nelson, his brother,
who was arrested in Muskegon,
Mich.
In public statement the Nelson's
disclaim any intention at swindling,
and that whatever transactions
made by them were fair, which they
promise to prove when tried. They
are charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
It would seem that Prince is the
schemer, and that through his
scheming, directly or indirectly, a
number of citizens of Shreveport
have been inveigled to part with
some of their dollars, estimated in
the aggregate at more than $4,000
1t is said that the sale of the
white House Pantry" promised
great returns in money. 1t was a
sure thing. 1t could not fail. Itwas
a fOrtune-maker and so forth.
If Prince secured his release on a
writ of habeaS corpus it is no fault
of the sheriff nor the district attor-
Ley. Governor Sanders had been
advised of the situation by telegram
and he promptly telegraphed the
Governor of Illinois that the requisi-
tion papers would reach Chicago
without delay. Sheriff Flournoy sent
personal messages as did District
Attorney Foster The district attor-
ney at Chicago was requested to
represent the Caddo authorities and
the State, but it would seem that un-
der the law of Illinois an individual
charged with a crime, unless con-
fronted with the warrant for his ar
rest or the requisition from the
governor, can obtain his release on
a writ habeas corpus within two
days after his arrest.
1t should be said that the Nelson's
offered no resistance but came read
lily to Shreveport to answer what
ever charges were against them.
1t is very probable that Prince
will forfeit his bond and skip the
country with some of the money he
has obtained through the white
House Pantry" scheme.

Pine Kitchen Table With Sawed-Off Legs Makes Very Convenient
 Platform for the Tub.

Buy just an ordinary pine kitchen table fitted with substantial legs and a spacious drawer. The second size should be chosen for our purpose.
 A carpenter will readily saw off the legs to a height of 12 inches, for the table is to serve as platform to ele- vate the bathtub, when placed upon its top, to just an easy, comfortable height for the mother, when seated, in 3 chair, to manipulate the baby with out stopping, lifting or a strain.
 In the drawer should be a center place for washrags, while the side spaces may be subdivided into several compartments.
 These may contain powder boxes and bags, and any other things in baby's toilet.
 These spaces provided and the table cut down to the proper height, the whole Is in readiness to receive the establishment of paint
 A coat of ordinary white paint should be applied first, followed with one of enamel. This last will bear many washings off and much wear without showing defacement

SUGGESTIONS FOR BINDINGS OF
 THESE USEFUL LISTS.
How Engagements, Shopping, Tele. phone Numbers and Stamps May Be Fixed Up AttractiVely for
 Yourself or to Give Away.

The true woman likes a pretty cover for useful article. Well, here are suggestions for four little books that will remember for you your engage ments, your telephone numbers, your shopping lists, and the last will keep your stamps in an easy place. You can buy little books with plain backs of linen or leather, or you can make the bindings of silk, linen, denim or suede@ Indeed. this art of making and decorating little cases and memoranda is profitable one from the esthettic point of view. if you enjoy beautiful things, and from the practical value, if you wish to make neat little profit by selling them to your friends.
 For the numbers of telephones the little suggestion in solid black and gray linen or on tan or gray card board. In the former case you can cover plain book purchased at a sta- tioner's or made by you with thin cloth.
 Use the following paste when apply. ing cloth to pasteboard:
 One cup of whole wheat flour, one cup of cold water, add two cups of boiling water and boil five minutes then add one teaspoonful of powdered alum dissolved in water; place the mixture in an uncovered jar after strainiDg through cheesecloth.
 Make an outline drawing of the telephone and use the waterproof in- dia ink to fill in the figure and cord. This little book can be carried in a handbag or can be placed on the desk of the owner
 Engagements" for the popular woman, lest she forget an excellent suggestion. On gray, blue or green leather the peacock design is most eff fective. Paint with oils or dyes on
