Whereas, the board of direct

fiscal agent Of this board, has

Bogalusa Wants To
Be Incorporated

Bogalusa, La, Nov. lat a
meeting of the Progressive
Union held at the Y. M. G. A.
building this week, it was de-
cided to petition the legislature
at it's next session to incorporate
Bogalusa.
The town now boasts between
six and ten thousand inhabitants;
has an excellent system of water
works, sewerage and electric
lights; has had a bill introduced
in Congress appropriating $780,
600 for q Federal building and
has q second class postofflce,
with free delivery. The Great
Southern Lumber Company has
been policing the town with
hired deputy sheriffs since 1905,
when it was founded.
The Progressive Union has
employed B. D, Talley. q local
attorney, to cooperate with B,
M. Miller, the Southern Lumber
Company's. attorney, to draft a
bill to be introduced at the lef
islature, incorporating Bogalusa
under q special act, with cou'.
mission form of government.
The Progressive Union and
the company are working upon a
plan for a model government
suited to the circumstances and
conditions of Bogalusa. Some
have suggested that the pro

eral manager TO run the town
subject to dismissal for failure
to perform his duties.
At a meeting of the board VI
directors of the Great Southern
Lumber Company it was decided
to increase the capacity of the

POLITICAL PLUMs
FOR FARGO MEN

Fargo, N. D., June 2l.-Walt-
ing for hte federal political plum
to drop is not very pleasing
pasttime for some Of the office
seeking democrats in North Da-
kota. So far only three appoint
ments have been made and two
| of these, Anheiser as national
bank examiner and Hifdreth as Is a
slant U. i. district attorney,
were from Fargo. Anheiser was
named to succeed E. S. Tyalor
whose resignation was sent in
about the first of the year.
There was a great deal more in
terest taken in the Hildreth case
as a lively contest has been car
ried on between him and T. D.
Casey fo Dickinson for the U. S.
district attorneship. Judge En-
gerud, the present incumbent, has
served onl., two years of his ap-
pointment. T. HI. McEnroe, his
assistant, was asked to resign to
make place for Hildreth. The po
pular idea is that Hilderth is to
serve as assistant long enough to
familiarize himself with the work
and he will then be promoted.
The friends of Casey are greatly
disappointed as they felt sure
the Dickinson man, who is wide
ly known as a public speaker and
attorney, would be able to. secure
the position.
There was a wet blanket throw
over the office seekers when Post
master general Burleson announc.
ed postmasters with good records
would not be thrown out till the
end of their terms. They feared
this would be the policy Of the
entire Wilson administration, but
the action of the department of
justice in letting out McEnroe to
make room for Hildreth and that
Of Secretary Of the Interior Lane
in demanding that the registers
Of the land offices give the ad-
ministration, has aroused hope in
the hearts Of the waiting partisans
They are quite convinced that to
the visitors should be given the f,
federal jobs.
It is quite possible the first
radicaltsh shake up will be- in the.
land office positions as there il.
said tosbe q more active campaign
wagedl for those places than any
other IN the state, unless it be
a few choice postoffices.

FRIDAY, JUNE II. 1918
Was Justice Served?

weeks Walfred T. Anderson had
been tried for the murder OF
Frank E. Funk, former cashier
of the First National Bank OF
this city.
Frank E. Funk, had been a
foremost citizen Of this com.
munity and this county, for a
great many years. He had been
recognized as a business man OF
ability; had established his home
and his family here, and his busl-
ness career was one Of unbroken
success.
After the business cares Of the
day one evening last spring, ne
had gone home to his family, and
as he went to the back yard to
fondle his infant child, his breast
was pierced with mysterious
bullet, and, the. protecting and
supporting arm Of his loving chill
,dren and his devoted wife, was
gone forever. Deep gloom had
settled over that home never to
be lifted.
4
Citi zens of the city, friends
of the family, rushed to the scene
of this mysterious death. People
generally were shocked, yes,
prostrated by the dastardly deed
that had forever removed from
their midst a citizen like Frank
e. Funk. ,.t
In their search for the perpe-
traitor of that awful crime the
fastened the crime about Walfred
T. Anderson, the young bank CLERK
who had been employed with
Mr.. Funk for a number of years.
This young man had been raised
and schooled in this community,
and while his employment, faith
ful though he seemed to be,
brought him but a meager income,
he suddenly appeared to be pos
sesed with wealth enough to
surround himself, with all the
luxuries and comforts Of life.
While his fellow citizens always
had marveled at from whence
came his sudden wealth, no great
suspicion was aroused till after
the sudden death of Mr.. Funk.
Circumstances were rapidly con
nected, and Walfred T. Ander-,
son was confined in the county
Jail to answer to the awful crime
Of murder in the first degree.
When the jury, had retired on
y Wednesday evening, one. of the.
most notable trials in the north
west had continued for fully
two6weeks. Apparently the state
q its effort to avenge the myster
ious death Of one of it's foremost
;citizens, had left within it's pow
er nothing undone but what woulo
compel Walfred- T. Anderson,
were he guilty, to pay the pen
atty.
After the jury had completed
;its celebration the twelve men re-
furned to the court room and pro
y ,,1n1lounced the fact that they had
found the accused .'not guilty.
Even though the circumstances
that should have held him answer
ls|ble might have been lacking dur
ing the course Of the trial, and
ever, & yer as the jury had declared,
Anderson is Nnot guilty the
y ful act that 50 suddenly pluck
Is the life Of Frank E. Funk re-
mains as much unanswerable for
III q when it was first committed.
The question then arises, has
jnatice been served. The records
"a il show that justice was done
a fred Anderson for as the
5ary has de clared, he may be not
1ilty. but the life Of Frank Funk
|hss been taken. Plucked IN the
