CALM PREVAILS
AFTER trial
The McRees Have Gone to Their Fu-
ture Texas Home-TroUbles
smoothed over.

Opelousas, La, April 5.-Everything
is as calm as May morn after the
ten days of the fateful trial of Mrs.
Zee Runge McRee, for the killing of
young Allen Garland, in her home in
Opelousas last September, which trial
ended yesterday with the acquittal of
the accused.
The slight trouble between leading
Counsel John Lewis and A. H. Gar
land, brother of the dead man, and a
member-elect OF the legislature, and
also between Sheriff Swords and sew
eral brothers Of Allen Garland, which
came as an aftermath to the trial, has
all been smoothed over.
The reporter who informed the Gar
land boys that Sheriff Swords had
tried to induce him to send a certain
report to his paper concerning the
speech of Mr.. Dubuisson, refused to
sign statement to that effect.
Sheriff Swords explains the matter
by saying that he did not intend to
convey the idea that he wanted the
matter sent to the paper, but had just
asked the reporter If he had sent the
speech, in no way having reference to
the case or wishing to take sides with
either defense or prosecution.
Mrs. McRee and family left on last
evenings Frisco train for their Texas
home, where it is believed they will
henceforth reside permanently.
The Garland family is crushed by
the verdict acquitting Mrs. McRee.

CRYING BABIES
CAUSE CONNECTION

When the 1915 G. & S. l. arrived
here this morning, a mother with two
littletots, boy and girl, left them to
telephone friends. Her stay was
rather prolonged and the little fellows
set in to bawling Patrons of the
train, the train crew and people gath
cred around, tried to pacify the little
folks, but without avail. The more
they talked the louder cried the
Labies. Men were scurrying around
trying to find the absent mother, when
presently she appeared, a very pretty
and much worried little woman, who,
after gathering the little ones close to
her, hurried away to her destination,
much to the relief of the searchers,
who were becoming thoroughly
alarmed over the failure to find the
missing mother.
