| Considerable excitement was
| caused in the rear of the City last
Monday evening, by the appear
ance of mad dog. Not until ne
gro oirl was bitten and others had
narrow escapes could the beast
be killed by the officers. lnstan-
ces of this kind are becoming
common hereabouts and the soon
err all roaming dogs are pat TO
death the better off the pubic
| will be. Only last week Miss
Amy Gates, the young daughter
of Hon. Horace p. Gates had to
be taken to New Orleans to take
the Pasteur treatment, having
been bitten by pet eat that att
erwards died with rabies. We
are nleased to report the Mayor
took steps at once to have ev"ty
| roaming canine eXterminated that
shows itself on the Streets oi
! the City unaccompanied by its
| owner.
We had an appreciated cal
this week from Capt. J. ID. 80
hannah of Abbeville who it will
be remembered by many had one
of his fine animals stolen from his
yard at the above place several
months ago, and has been since
,, been making a diligent search
| over at least five parishes without
the slightest clue to its recovery.
In all probability the horse was
shipped to another State and may
never be recovered. Capt. Bo-
hannah informs us that he has
spent upwards of 1880 travel
| ing around and advertising for his
animal. He says the Police Jrr-
les of each Parish should set aside
fund to be used as rewards for
the apprehension of thieves who
| resort to those measures to make
a living, otherwise the public can
expect little assistance from the
Sheriffs over the State and as
! consequence seldom does stolen
! property ever be recovered.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Mi
CUES visited New Orleans thus
week and brought back with him
negro by name of Sam Will
/ liams who had been arrested IN
that city by Detective Long for
a murder committed Oh the plan
tation of Mr.. Jos. Oubre, near Ln-
reauville on the night of the l4th
of February, 1905, the negro slam
bv the accused being known as
VIM. Gardner one of the Held
hands. From what we could
learn the negro had applied for
work on Mr.. Oubre's Plantation
and had been on the place only
a few days after which the crime
was committed and he made his
escape before the officers could
capture him and had never been
heard of until last Monday, when
he was arrested by the New Or
leans detective and Sheriff Hen
derson made known of the i'm
prtant arrest. The Grand Jury
which convenes next Monday
will pass upon the case and Jur F.,
tice, though tardy, will probably
be meeted out to him during the
present term of Court.
A Chamber Of Commerce has
been organized at Lafayette rec
emily by the wide-awake citizens
of that place asking the co-ope
ration of all their sister towns
along the Southern Pacific rail
way which shows the correct sen
| timent and inclination among the
people to pull together for tho
general good, not only OF this sec
ton, but the entire State. There
is nothing like unity Of action to
develop a country or city ana
the sooner our own New IBERIA
citizens get busy on propositions
that mean much for us the better
off we will all become and tho
sooner our ideals be realized.
! New iberia should have just such
an organization. While We have
"a Board of Trade here, we have
never had unanimity Of action
among the people. Would it not
be well for steps to be taken at
once to revive it and get the CO.
operation of everybody. 1t ls
only by pulling together that re-
suits can be attained. Almosr
weekly we hear of some family
