An unfortunate accident be-
fell a negro boy named Dennis
White last Thursday about II 80
i. o clock, which cost him his life.
: The boy according to reports had
attempted to hop a freight train
when he fell and had his leg cut
off just below the knee. A num-
Der of hy-standers brought the
unfortunate negro to DR.. King s
office for treatment, but he had
lost so much blood that he died
within an hour after he was
placed ON the operating table.
The boy was in the employ OF
Mr.. Geo. Baumgar, en- as dellv-
cry carrier for h s grocery and
claimed that he had not jumped
the cars but was killed as he at
tempted to cross the track. AL
most every month a0me negro
loses a limb by this dangerous
practice and it seems to have no
effect whatever upon the DANCE
rous practice INDUCED in by both,
white and black Some drastic
measure should be taken to pre-
vent these occurrences in the flu
ture.

Quite a good deal of excite
ment was caused in the naighbor
hood of East st. Peter and
Charles Streets last Tuesday
night by a negro who entered
the yards. of Dr. Thos. R. Con-
rad and that of Mr.. Louis Fagot.
1t seems DR.. Conrad at about nine
o'clock saw a negro walking over
his premises and made at a.
tempt to catch him when heI
jumped over the fence into the |
yard of Mr.. FagOt and concealed
himself in the wood shed unit
Mr.. Fagot struck him with a
piece of scantlJng. The negro |
then advanced upon Mr. Fagot |
with one arm up as though tol
strike with a knife, when the
gentleman fred one shot at him
causing him to wheel around and
drop to the ground as though he
had received bullet wound. Be-
fore Mr.. Fagot could place his
hand upon the william he then
made leap. over the fence and
made his escape. Mr.. Fagot feels
certain that the negro received
flesh wound in fact he could have
killed him had he desired TO un-
der the circumstances. The rough
treatment received by the negro
will no doubt be a severe lesson
him and even though he is not
apprehended by the officers We
feel certain he will not bother
the residents Of that neighbor-
hood soon.

Since the organization of the
iberia Parish Good Roads Asso-
cia.ion a great deal of good work
has been accomplished in many
parts Of the Parish. Committees
have been out the greater part Of
the week having holes filled that
have been a disgrace to the Par
lsh the better part of the winter
The hole in what is
Known as the Curtis lane will re-
,eive attention In a few days
from what We are informed, sew
sral loads Of gravel having been
ordered by the Association to fill h

lgement they can to the Asso- s

promoted it deserve the thanks of
he community for their interest
n the matter. The losses from +.
)ad roads to the farmers as well
