Police Jury Proceedings Next Week.

The police jury was in session three
days this week, and transacted large
amount of routine business, goodly
portion of which will be of general in
terest to the public A number of citi-
zens were here to see about matters in
their localities, which will be shown in
the proceedings that we will publish
next week. The clerk finds it impossi-
BILE to get the proceedings ready for
this weeks issue, owing to the numer-
Gus checks he has to make out and
send to parties for claims allowed, but
will have all ready for publication next
week.
The body spent the most of the day
on Tuesday in an inspection of the pub
lie roads. mostly in wards one and,
two, via Paramount and Bagdad, where
the parish hands have been at work.
They used three automobiles on tie
trip, returning from Pollock over the
model road in the afternoon, part of
their inspection being cut short by rain
and one or two tire punctures.

A Squally Time, But Nobody Hurt.

A sudden squall or gust of wind visit
ed Colfax about 8 O'Clock last Sunday
night, and for a while it looked like
we were in for a destructive hurricane
or tornado. To add to the excitement
the Big Pine saw mill blew its fire
alarm whistle. However, everything
blew off and cooled of beautifully in a
few minutes. The wind had picked up
the Big Pine slab pile of glowing en-
beers and scattered them all over the
company Office building, Mr.. Brownlee's
residence and other houses, and for a
little while it looked like there was to
be general coniagration in that part
of the town. The wind fortunately
subsidized and the timely arrival of a
shower of rain greatly aided the helpers
present to put out the fire without
much damage.
