H. Pellman had a narrow escape
from serious injury, when a buggy
driven by him was struck by a street
car on Main street Friday afternoon,
demolishing the buggy, injuring the
horse and throwing the driver to the
ground. The narrow street at the
point of the accident was made narrow
er by a heap of dirt lying in the
street, and in avoiding it, it is said, Mr.
Pellman drove on the car track at the
moment the car reached the place,
making it impossible for the motor

the accident.

Wednesday morning, did not see
an on-coming hand car, on the

horse go up the incline to the

all to pieces, while Mrs. Landau
landed into the ditch, with her
clothes all torn and dirty, but
unhurt, though bruised in several
places.
Had it not been that the horse
was exceptionally gentle a catas-

Mrs. Landau was hurriedly
brought to a nearby house and
given attention, when it was
found that she was neither hurt
painfully nor severely, only re-
ceiving a few little bruises.
Clothes was Immediately sent
for, and Mrs. Landau made it

The long awaited for meeting
! between the Dunbars and Bill
bos in New Orleans seems Il
have at last materialized. Fol
weeks there has been talk abour
various witnesses for w. C.
| Walters, who is held in tht
county Jail at Columbia, Miss,
for the kidnapping Of little Rob
ert Dunbar, during the month OF
August, 1912, would meet the
Dunbars in New Orleans for the
purpose of declaring to the Worlo
whether or not the child was
Bruce Anderson or the son of the
Dunbars, of this city.
| Walters is alleged to have
spent some time with the Gold
man and the Bilbo families, dur
ing the month of July, last, and
was in the neighborhood Of their
homes when the Dunbar child
disappeared from SWayze lake
on the 23d of August. At the
time Walters was with these peo-
pie, 50 it is said, he had a little
boy with him, and this little fell
low tailed out exactly to the de-
scription of Robert Dunbar, Jr.
These witnesses hold that the
boy who is claimed by the Ope-
lousas family is not Robert Dun
bar, Jr., but Bruce Anderson, the
son of Julia Anderson, who was
up here some time ago and failed
to Identify her child among FIVE
others, after she had repeatedly
said that if the boy was hers she
would be able to pick him out of
thousands.
Attorney John w. Lewis and
his wife left with little Bobbie,
who was accompanied by his
mother and MIR. Archie Dunbar,
uncle to the child. They will be
at the Fox home. in New Orleans,
until this afternoon at 2 o'clock
when they will conduct the little
follow to the office Of Hon. John
M. Parker, where the test will
take place, and when the people
will be told by the Bilbos and
there witnesses of w. c. Wal
tiers, whether the boy is Robert
Dunbar or not.
It is the opinion of the inti-
mate friends of the Dunbar fam
lily, as well as the hundreds who
are interested in this most ex-
traordinary case, that the Bilbos

about the dates. They are prob
ably mistaken as to the month,

their attention SO repeatedly to
the fact that he arrived their in.
a particular month, that they
hive about come to the conclu-
sion that it was really in July
and t h e beginning of August
when he was there with the
child. But when the case will
come off it will be shown that
Walters was not in the vicinity
of the home of these people at
the time of the disappearance of
the child, but as a matter of fact
was in the neighborhood Of the
lakes, according to the evidence
in possession of the Dunbar at
torneys.
The outcome of the test which
will take place this afternoon is
awaited with a great deal of in
terest by every man and woman
in the south, as well as thou
sands Of people from every nook
and corner of this great republic
of ours. But the people in Ope-
lousas, deep down in their heart,
feel that no matter what the
Bilbos and other witnesses Of
Walters say about the child, they
will stick to the Dunbars. al
ways believing, that the child
belongs in this city, and not in
the hands of the alleged kid
naper.
No matter if the child is pro-
nounced Bruce Anderson by
those who come from Mississippi
to identify him, the citizens of
Opelousas will not be misled by
this statement, but on the con-
trary they will believe more
firmly than ever in the Dunbars.

players, had arranged to run an
excursion train leaving Opelou-
sas at about l o'clock and re-
turning after the game Sunday
right. The round trip will cost
only IS cents and it is expected
that there will be several hum
dred fans from this city who will
accompany the local aggrega-
ton.
The Rayne and Opelousas
teams being so evenly matched
it is expected that a battle SINH
lar to the one on the 25th of
May will take place, but never
theless, the local fans are con
fdent that the Rayne scalp will
be taken to 0pelousas this time.
Opelousas seems to be going
right after the championship OF
this section, and if no accidents
occur, the title will surely be
landed DO the local boys.
1t is said that Franciono, a
Baton Rouge star, who will
spend the summer in this city
will join the team; he will prob
ably play shortstop or second
base. Last summer this young
man played on the local team,
and did creditable work. It is
expected that he will surpass his
last seasons record. Besides
the stortstop, Wallet, one of the.
most formidable pitchers in am
ateur ball, is expected to join
the Opelousas team; Wallet has
pitched against Opelousas on
several occasions and the boys
here know who he is and what
kind of balls he can deliver. He
too, it is thought, will spend the
summer in our city. Both of
these young college athletes will
aid considerably in leading Ope-
lousas to the championship.
Wallet is one of the best pitch
ers ever seen on the local dia-
mond and should make Opelou-
sas very valuable man.

Jefferson Davis Memorial Day
was suitably honored in this city
by the Daughters of the Confed-

Daughters served lunches on the

in the afternoon there was
held a rousing meeting at the
Bon Ami theatre, where some of
the most prominent citizens of
this city, as well as parish, de-
liVered patriotic addresses.
Mayor E, L. Loeb was intro
duced as Chairman of the meet
ing, who said, in short:
1t is not only a pleasure, but
| esteem it a privilege and an
honor to call this meeting to or

to do honor to those gallant sol
diers, who sacrificed all that man
possesses on the altar of their
country, It is therefore meet
and proper that we, their an
cestors, and all others, who
appreciate the force of a call to
duty should meet annually and
tender homage to the honored
dead. And dolbly honored is
that duty when this is done, un-
der the auspices of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. +"
The Chairman then introduced

Mr. Edwin BerCier Is Now A Dentist

On last Wednesday morning a
4 bright Opelousas boy received
his diploma at Tulane Univer-
jsity, in the department Of den
tistry; that young man is no
other than Edwin Bercier, the
son of DR.. and Mrs. A. ]. Ber-
cier. DR.. Bercier will arrive in
this city, this afternoon, with
his mother, who left Tuesday for
the Crescent City, where she
went to see her boy graduated.
1t is supposed that the young
Bercier will enter the firm Of
Bercier & Bercier, as Doctors
Anthony and Eugene expect to
specialize, with the youngest
Bercier in the firm, thereby Civ
ing better and quicker service to
their many patrons.
The old gentleman, DR.. A. J.
Bercier, stated recently that
many of his friends believe that,
since he has bought himself a
farm, he has resigned from the
practice of dentistry. On the
contrary, he is in a better posi-
ton at present to serve the peo-
pie than ever before; he has all
sanitary and up-to-date instru-
ments and cabinets, and his
office is as well equipped, as any
in large cities.
DR.. Edwin Bercier, as we must
call him henceforth, was gradu-
ated with honors, and in his ex-
aminations he displayed to his
professors what an Opelousas
boy could do, with his brains
and knowledge. He passed all
of the exams with high marks
and will soon be established in
this city, as it is hoped a full
fedged dentist, ready to build
up a trade like his ancestor.

aldermen shows that he has

city. DR.. Shaw by purchasing
fixtures and furniture, which
make his office modern in every
respect and a model for a coun-

belief that hard times, and the

DR.. Shaw is a recent addition
to our city, and during the few
years he has been here he has
shown himself to be very pro-

well as making Opelousas an ex-

His up-to-date office will really
surprise one who has never seen
it, as it is exceptionally attractive
and extremely sanitary.
Let more Of our progressive
citizens emulate the splendid ex-
