Rell known Farmer Killed By lIOrse.

" MA 4
MIR. Alcide Dupre, aprosperous
farmer of Prairie Rond met with
a terrible accident on Tuesday
evening: this young farmer was
kicked by his horse on the side,
dying the next morning.
Mr.. Dupre was but a yonns
man, being scarcely over forty
years of age. but during his
short life his every deed and ac-
ton were stepping stones to sue
cess, he had not amassed great
fortune, but what he had was
there and that was plenty for his
need. He was a peaceful citizen
and the Prairie Ronde people will
miss him a great deal.
It was indeed a fatal accident
which was the cause of the death
I OF this gentleman. For some un-
known reason the horse got furi-
ated and kicked Mr.. Dupre in his
side, below the liver. Medical
| aid was Immediately gotten, but
nothing could be done, the victim

will not be long before the peo-
pie in this parish will see an elec-

At every place where an elec-
tion was called for tax in favor
of the traction company the tax
was passed overwhelmingly, the
taxpayers thereby displaying a
spirit of progresslveness and 60
forWardness.
IF a few more taxes like the
Louisiana Traction Company's
were placed upon the property
owners of st. Landry, this par
ish might prosper more and the
value of lands in our community
would be wonderfully increased.
The citizens of st. Landry, as
a whole, now seem to have a de-
sire to see their parish numbered
among the other progressive par
ishes of Louisiana, and it is
hoped that this feeling will con-
tinue to exist with the intelli-
g ent f mers and prop
erty owners here. IL this is done
it will not take long for the cry
of hard times" to be thing of
the past, and the effect of the

The Louisiana Traction &
PdWef Company, which COM
many will build an interurban
line between various points in
iberia, ST. Martin and St. Lam
drv parishes, is kept busy these
DAYS taking up right-of-ways be-
tween Lafayette and Opelousas.
There is also crew of surveyors
at preaent stationed in the east
ern part of Opelousas, who have
been busily engaged for the last
week in surveying where the
electric car line will pass.
It is,understood that the peo-
ule in the Coulee Croche and
Bellevue sections, where the
representatives Of the Traction
Company have been taking up
right-of-ways, are so anxious to
secure this interurban line that
most of the farmers there have
been donating the right-of- ways
to the Louisiana Traction &
Power Company. This speaks
we'll of the people in that farm

this car line will be of great ben

as to the community wherein the

ST. CHARLES COLLEGE
SENDING INVITATIONS
Preparations Being Made to
Make Diamond Jubilee An
Elaborate Affair.

Ifle foremost college OF South
west Louisiana and one of the
best in the union. which is sit
uated in the grand old alish
of st. Landry, some ten miles
from this city in the peaceful
little town of Grand Coteau, is to
be the scene of the reunion of
good old college chaps of olden,
as well as modern times. Invi-
tations are being sent out to the
various alumni of st. Charles
College for the celebration of
the diamond jubilee. It is ex-
pected there will bea large num-
Der of the old school boys who
will attend the jubilee and who
will love to ramble about the col
lege ground wondering what
tales the giant oaks would tell if
these trees could only talk.
There will be several hundred
alumni in Grand Coteau, roam
ing from one place to the other,
in the woods, on the campus and
everywhere; three days will be
enjoyed in making new ac-
.quaintances, seeing old college
friends and school mates. and
these will indeed be three happy
days for the boys who will have
the good fortune of being able
to attend the diamond jubilee,
which will begin on Friday, June
21st, and which will finish up
with Alumni Day, on Sunday
the 23rd.
On account of the destructive
fires which occurred at the St.
Charles College, the authorities
of that venerable old school
would be glad if some Of the old
boys would send in names of
alumni so that invitations can
be sent to them. There is no
record to show who were at
school during the existence of
the old buildings, so Father d.
P. LaWton, who has charge Of
the reception committee, will
have to wait for some kind
friends to send him names of all
the college boys whom he knows.
st. Charles College has furn-
ished men in every walk of life,
from a clerk in a store to the
Governor of Louisiana. Many
of its alumni now hold response
BILE positions all over the United
States and when the college boys
of Grand Coteau will get togeth-
er on the 21st of June it will be
a meeting Of some of the brain
est and most brilliant men in our
state.

OPELOUsAs, LA, SATURDAY, MAY 81. 1913
MAYOR TO PUT STOP
TO CHICKEN THIEVES
Has Been Ordered to Offer
Rewards for Capture
of Thieves.

Opelousas has been the scene
of numberless chicken thefts
during the last two or three
weeks. It appears as though
there is a gang Of men, who are
in league together, going around
at different places each night
stealing chickens. They have
not been caught up with as yet,
but woe to those who should fall
into the hands of the law. They
are going to be prosecuted to the
end.
AS an inducement to the pub
lie to bring these scoundrels to
justice the Board of Aldermen
passed a resolution at a special
meeting on last Tuesday night
authorizing the Mayor of this
city to offer reward of $25 to
any person OR persons who would
be able to furnish sufficient evi-
dence to arrest and convict these
thieves.
It is high time that the people
awake to the fact that there is
really more chicken stealing be-
ing done in our midst than ever
before. In every quarter of this
city, for the last three weeks,
there have been some chickens
missing. The Board of Aldermen
is to be commended upon it's action
and we feel assured that the
Honorable Mayor will perform
his duty towards the thieves.
It is hoped that these thefts
will be stopped Immediately. If
some one would unload a few
pounds Of lead in the burglars
there.might be more peace in this
city during the night. No one
should fear using a gun on one
who comes to steal chickens, as
chickens are as much property
to the owner as his land.
Councilman Danel was the one
who offered the resolution; it
was passed by a two to three
vote.
Following is the resolution:
Whereas, There seems to be
an organized band of chicken
thieves in this community as is
evidenced by the promiscuous
chicken stealing that has been
going on in this city for the last
two or three weeks and in order
that some inducement may be
offered which will put a stop to
these thefts;
Therefore be it resolved, That
the Mayor, e. L. Loeb, be au-
thorized to offer a reward of
Twenty Five Dollars to any per-
son or persons who will furnish
evidence which will
lead to the arrest and conviction
of these offenders; provided this
reward does not apply to the
regular police of this City.
Seconded by Sicily.

Linen Shower Given In
Honor Of Miss Sandoz.

On Wednesday several of the
young ladies, prominent in socie-
ty circles of this city, participat-
ed in a linen shower given by
Miss Vivian Thompson in honor
of her close friend and compan-
ion. Miss Bessie Sandoz, the
beautiful and accomplished
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. P.
Alexis Sandoz, whose wedding to
a popular young man of Wash
ington, Mr.. John Prescott, will
take place sometime in June.
The parlor was beautifully
decorated in pink colors and cut
flowers; a large umbrella was at
tached to the ceiling, upside
down, and as Miss Sandoz step
ped into the room her friends
saw that she would go under the
sunshade, which she did, where
upon one of her girl admirers
pulled a string, which caused the
umbrella to be overturned.
When this was done pieces Of
beautiful and costly linen began
to drop over the loving and pret-
ty hride-to-be; 1t was indeed q
linen shower ii the strict sense
Of the word, and the young re-
cipienf of such handsome pre-
sents at the hand OF her many
Young lady friends showed ID her
words and actions that she high
.lv appreciated the many gifts,
After the shower the partici~
pants repaired 10 the dining
room which was also decorated
in pink coIors and cut lowers.
where they enjo Dyed some elegant
sandwiches, delicious punch and
paIafable cake.

FATHER RAYMOND
OBSERVES JUBILEE
Many Years A Resident of This
City But Now of
New Orleans.

Father Francois Raymond, for
thirty-five years pastor of the
| st. Landry Catholic Church, and
one of the oldest prelates in the
state, celebrated his diamond
jubilee, on Wednesday, May 21,
in Ethe Crescent City. Father
Raymond was probably the best
known priest Opelousas ever
had, as his name was on the
lips Of many, Protestants as
we'll as Catholic, from Opelousas
to Lafayette, to Lake Charles,
and in fact throughout the state
of Louisiana. He was the
father of the Raymond College,
which was the principal school
in this section for a long time,
and where most of the promi-
nent men of old ST. Landry re-
ceived their education. The men
in this city are few who did not
go to school under the venerable
priest.
The Sundays issue of the
New Orleans Picayune gives an
interesting account of Father
Raymond's diamond jubilee:
Rev. j. Francois Raymond,
the venerable jubilarian, COM
memorated very quietly. with
out pomp or ceremony, his dia-
mond jubilee Wednesday, May
21- He celebrated low mass in
the asylum chapel of the Lafon
Home for the Poor and Aged.
The mass was attended by the
Sisters of the Holy Family and
the inmates of the home. The
music was rendered by the pu-
pills of st. Mary's Academy, who
gave a beautiful reception to
Father Raymond after mass.
Father Raymond was born
June %, 1928, in the diocese of
Clermont Yenoud; was ordained
a priest at Notre Dame, in Paris,
May 21, 1853, and came to Lou
isiana in 1854. He did excellent
work and labored most zealously
for thirty-fve years in Opelou-
sas, four years in Bayou Du
Large, ten years in st. Gabriel
and ten years as chaplain at La
fon's Old Folks Home.
Archbishop Blenk regretted
very much that he could not be
present, but sent his blessing
and celebrated mass for the hon
ored jubilarian. Father Ray
mond is known and much loved
by all the priests, who showered
congratulations upon him. The
following priests were present at
the sumptuous banquet: Very
Rev. G. Frain, Very Rev. F.
Mittlebron; Very Rev. Bogaerts,
Very Rev. P. Scotti, Rev. F..
Racine, Rev. A. Janssens, Rev.
j. Cartisser, Rev. w. J. P. Vim
cent, Rev. R, Cara, Rev. L. J.

Lake Charles to Attempt to Be Wet.

The city of Lake Charles,
which has been dry for quite a
while will be put on the wet list
in a short time, if it is left to GER
tain citizens of that city. There is
considerable opposition to letting
the saloon men come back to that
city, but it is thought that Whis-
key may win out after all.
The first step in fighting the
proposition was inaugurated on
Saturday night when a mass
meeting was held On the streets
of Lake Charles. On Sunday
several prominent preachers
from various points in Louisiana
delivered sermons from their
pulpits in favor Of prohibition.
"a hot fight Is promised. both
sides claiming the better Of the
situation.

SUNDAYS GAME WAS
A SPLENDID ONE
Neither Rayne Nor Opelousas
Gould Score In Sundays Fight.
4 Pitchers Battle.

The cracking of the bat and the
the familiar sound of leather float
ing in the air was an usual thing
in the fiercest and hottest battle
ever fought on the local diamond
on last Sunday. The renowned
Ranye team, which has an excep-
tionally good reputation, classed
with the Opelousas club, which
was only recently organized, in a
nine inning battle to no avail.
With all the shouting the few
hundred spectators could spare,
with all the head-work the
players could possibly use, and
with all the curves the pitchers
could think of, the Opelousas
and Rayne boys battled on for
nine long innings without a sin
gle man of either club crossing
the plate. 1t was indeed a royal
battle one of which people read
about and very, very seldom
witness.
It was not Casey at the bat"
this time, but good old Casey on
the mound" for the Opelousas ag-
regation. Casey Mcdonald the
idol Of the Eunice fans, for the
last two or three years, consent
ed to come to this city to help
out the local boys, since both of
the Opelousas pitchers, Bordelon
and Veltin, were laid up with
fever during the week. To him
and the home catcher, Dejean,
the glory of saving the day is
due, although each of the nine
players, representing the local
bunch of ball players, were there
with the goods.
Casey seemed to have perfect
control, while Dejean's catching
was as faultless as a major
leaguer's. Both of these men
did splendid work.
Rayne's pitcher, Turner, was
in fine shape also; in fact the
whole Rayne team was as good
as any amateur club, and it is a
wonder that Opelousas, with so
little practice could play such a
great game with such a formid-
able bunch Of ball players. But
this only shows what a corking
team Opelousas has.
The fielding feature was a
catch from a terrible rap of the
ball from Bill Stewards bat by
c rae king good shortstop,
Bobbie Haines. He had no diff
Guilty in putting Mr.. Stewart out,
though the drive seemed to be a
safe hit.
Mcdonald struck out Ia men
and gave the baseball fans one
of the greatest exhibition of
pitching ever seen on the local
diamond.
Following is the score:

'DUNBARS HAVE GO To
TO new ORLEANS
so Says The Governor OF Mississippi, Or Walters
WIN Be Released.

Governor Brewer notified Mr..
Percy Dunbar that if he did not
comply with his wish of bring
ing little Robert to New Orleans
for tho Bilboes to identify him,
Walters, the alleged kidnaper of
Robert Dunbar, Jr., would be
turned loose and given his liber-
ty. The news at first shocked
all those who were interested in
this matter, but now seems to
have no effect on the people OF
Opelousas. Bobbie is here and II
the Mississippi authorities do not
consent to give the extradition,
papers it is Of little Importance in
a way, as the most principal
thing in the sensational kidnap-
ing case is safe in the loving
arms Of his mother.
The Dunbars object TO bring
the boy to New Orleans for the
reason that these people would
take the child away from them,
being out of the jurisdiction OF
this court. IF they can assure
the Dunbars that they will not
be hempered with, Robert DUN
bar, il. viii be Immediately con-
veyed ID New Orleans for the
BiIbos to identify him.
This case has gotten SO fright
fully mixed up ii the state OF

that I1e will rot really tern Wal

LITTLE ENA DURIO CAUSE
OF EXCITEMENT

Mrs. Onezime A. Durio, who
resides in the large white resi-
dence back of the Bordelon &
Sons hardware store, was as ex.
cited Monday morning as was
Mrs. Percy Dunbar, when little
Robert, Jr., mysteriously disap.
peared from his parents camp,
at Swayze lake last August,
as her little daughter, Ena,
was suddenly missed and could
not be found.
Upon discovering that the lit
tie girl had disappeared, Mrs.
Durio sent to Mr.. Lawler's resi-
dence, next door, to inquire if
her little daughter was not there.
When it was learned that the
child had not gone to the Law
lers a search was Immediately
started.
Tn the space of a very few
minutes there was crowd OF
fifty to seventy-five persons go
ing all over town, looking in
every nook and corner OF this
old city, in the same manner as
did the people here who searched
for little Robert Dunbar, last
August.
When Mr.. J. G. LaWler came
upon the scene, upon being told
the story, suggested that the
child might be in the house
sleeping in some corner. But
Mrs. Durio, being assured that
she had gone through every por-
ton OF the roomy residence, was
positive in her declaration that
the child was not in the house.
After a little more discussion it
was decided to send some one to
search the residence once more.
After having gone through
every part of the house the little
girl was found sleeping on the
floor under a bed, in one of the
rooms. It appears that the child
must have gone to sleep in the
bed, rolled out of it. falling be-
tween the bed and the wall,
never perceiving her fall.
In a few minutes the crowd
was dispersed and all went home
contented that Opelousas was
not the scene of one more kid
mapping case, and that Mrs.
Durio had not lost her little girl
after all.
The excitement produced over
the disappearance of the little
girl was great, and Mrs. Durio
feels thankful to the many per-
sons who so generously respond
ed to her call for aid in her
search for her supposedly lost
child, and she is happy indeed
that it was only a false alarm. =
The little girl, innocent Of what
was going on about her disap-
pearance, enjoyed q little nap on
the floor.
