rushed over to lend what assistance
they could. Bert Sawyer, j. p. Hall

on the doorstep lay a case of ship
carpenter tools, which are of consider

Russell when she discovered the house
was afire. But no sign of her was seen
and it was futile to try to gain en-
trance to any of the rooms which were
filled with smoke and flames.

few charred bones where she had lain.

HOME BOYS DEFEAT
CHURCH POINT TEAM

The opening game Of the base
ball season in Opelousas was
played off between the local team
and an aggregation of players
from Church Point, ON last Sum
day. The bunch from Acadia
Parish seemed as though they
would have been more success
full at chopping wood than hit
ting the curves of Hawkins
Dejean the local pill finger.
The Opelousas pitcher left the
Church Point aggregation off
very easy, with an enormous
amount Of three bingles, in nine
long innings.
The winning or this game on
the Opelousas team was a great,
but very pleasant surprise to the
many baseball fans Of this city.
The game had been conceded to
the Church Point team, long be-
fore the umpire yelled out Play
ball. " Nevertheless the Church
Point nine, was a pretty good
team, but the score showed
that the local boys were vastly
superior to the Acadian aggrega-
ton.
The score was 6 to2 in our
