and It is expected that when the
time comes for all the old feI-
lows to come together and talk
about their dear old college
days everything will BE n
readiness to welcome them to
their Alma Mater. Several
hundred people from every por-
tlon OF the state will be on hand
70 participate IN the grand affair.
and it is certainty that the
three days of celebration will
never be forgotten by all who
may have the good fortune Of

get the kind hospitality of the
Jesuits, but forever remember
and ponder over the good times
they had at ST. Charles College.

witnesses, Mrs. Bilbo, when
asked If she knew the boy and
how came her to know him, she
told of how the boy and Walters
remained at their home for a
long time while the latter was
working on an organ at their
church, and the little fellow had
stayed with her while Walters
was in the hospital in New Or
leans, but she was firm in her
declaration that the boy who
was before her in the room at
the Monteleone Hotel was Bruce
Anderson, and she knew him
because he was Webb-toed.
When the boy was brought to
her and the shoes and stocking
were taken off there was nothing
to be seen, except a large scar
on the big toe, but still the old
lady persisted in telling the
Judge there it is. = Mrs. Park
er could not see the webb-toe
and no one else in that room
could.
There was some question
about having the trial in New
Orleans, but the constitution of
Louisiana of 1898, prohibits such
a thing, and for the trial to be
held in the courts of New Or
leans, it would necessitate a con-
stitutional convention a thing
which is most unlikely. Crowley,
Lafayette, st. Martin, New
Roads, Marksville, Alexandria
and Oberlin are the only places
where the trial can be held in
this state, if the extradition
papers are granted by Governor
Brewer and a change of venue
is obtained by the accused. It
is the opinion of the lawyers
here that Crowley will most prob
ably be the scene of this ex-
traordinary trial If the judge
should decide that Walters
should not be tried in Opelousas.
It is true that Walters would
be tried with as much justice
and impartiality here, in Opelou-
sas, as in any other court in the
country, but still it is better to
waive objection against the
granting Of a change of venue,
when Governor Brewer will have.
given his signature to the extra
dition papers and Walters will
be in Louisiana to stand trial for
the kidnapping of little Robert
Dunbar, since, if Walters should
be found guilty in this court,
some people in Mississippi, as
we'll as the country over, would
think that Walters had not been
given a fair trial. Let the case
be tried in any court where it is
legal for it to take place-the
same sentence will meted out to
him there as he would get here
If he is guilty the jury will
find him SO, and if he is not
he will most assuredly be-
given his liberty by any compe
tent jury in this state.
It is expected that the Gov
ernor of Mississippi will give the
extradition papers, as soon as
the Mississippi legislature will
have adjourned.

LOCAL BOYS RUSH
TO EUNICE FOR FIRE
state Bank of Eunice Sends
Thanks to Opelousas for
Their Ready Response.

At about nine o'clock Saturday
night the fire alarm was sounded
in this city and one could see peo.
nle running in every direction
irving to find out where the
flames were, but none could be
seen at first and no one knew
where the fire was. Finally 9
sign of a fire could be seen in the
western skies, though it did not
appear to be very far distant it
was twenty-one miles away.
Euhice dispondent, discouraged
and almost doomed to entire dis
truction called upon Opelousas to
come to the rescue.
A few minutes after the sounds
Of the fire bell and whistle had
died away the Frisco people rush
ed a train into this city ready to
carry the several people who
were eager to go to the help of
burning Eunice, and soon party
of local men were seen flying
away on a fiat car, which soon
disappeared into the darkness in
the direction Of the city in dis
tress: the rumbling of the wheels
died out, the sound of the whistle
was no longer heard; in twenty
seven minutes the train arrived
upon the scene of the raging fire,
the distance of twenty-one miles.
Opelousas, although making
the distance at a break-neck
speed, had gotten there too late;
ready for action the local boys
Jumped off the train, but We're
greeted with the happy message
that the Nunice people had the
fire under csntrol.
Some four or five buildings in
the center Of the business section
of the thriving little city were
consumed by the flames, the fire
originating. tits said, in Vidrine's $
barbershop. For a while it was
thought that the entire town
would ge up in flames and the
call for help was sent out to
Opelousas and Crowley, to which
both of these cities responded
most readily, but both getting
upon the scene too late to render
Eunice any service, except to
show that they were willing to
help their sister city.
The State Bank of Eunice
sent a card of thanks to the fire.
men of this city for their will
ingness to assist them when in
need. The card reads as fol-
lows:
Resolved. that this Board ex-
press to the Opelousas Fire Com
pany Of Opelousas, La, and the
citizens of Opelousas who came
to Eunice the night of Saturday,
June 7th, to assist the people OF
Eunice to fight a fire that threat
ened the entire business section
of the town, their most sincere
thanks. It is such material aid
in time of distress that makes a
a set of people realize that their
neighbors may be depended upon
to do as much for them as they
themselves would expect to do in
aid of their friends when condi-
tions might be reversed. 1t is
the sentiment of this Board as
business men that we cannot
find words to appropriately show
to you just how much we feel
thankful and obligated to you
for the prompt response and
willingness shown by your good
people to help us out at such a
critical time, for there is no
doubt that Eunice was in a sad
plight on the occasion referred
to.
Again thanking you, we are,
Sincerely yours,

Cost of Raising Horses.

Reports have been received from
about ten thousand correspondents
of the Bureau of Statistics of tho
department Of agriculture upon
tho cost of raising colts on farms
to the age of three years. The
average for the United States is
found to be $1O4.06; or, if We de-
duct tho value OF work done by
the horse before he has passed
his third year. namely 1852, the
net cost is 5000 this is 100 per
cont of the selling value of such
horses, S136.17. -.
The cost varies widely by states,
from an average of S69.50 for Now
Mexico, $7l59 for Wyoming. and
SS2.47 for Texas, to $156.60 for
Rhode Island, $14998 for Connec-
ticut and $l41.S0 for Massachu-
sets.
ltemized, tho cost is made up as
follows: Service fee, S12 95; va
lus of time lost by mare in foal-
ing, $1,000; breaking to halter,
1922; veterinary service, 81 o.;
care and shelter, first year S5.9S,
second year S. 36, third year sc. 35;
cost of grain fed, first year 81 SO,
second year 81. IA, third year 1856;
hay, first year 81 IA, second year
S6.61, thitd year $8.4S; pasture,
frat year So Sc, second year $5.4l
third year 1921; other cost, $5.O1
total $lO4O6.
The total cost for all feed il
80, being $216S for grain
s19.23 for hay, Sl418 for pasture
and $1.21 for other feeds. The
total cost of care and shelter lie
S16.69. Of the total cost, 81 pol
cont is charged to feeds, Ii PEI
cent to care aud shelter, and 81
per cent to other items, ~ emu
merated above.
As more than half the cost o
