While a large number of old friends
in Algiers attended the funeral Satur-
dav morning OF DR.. August Villas,
who was shot and killed from ambush
"Wednesday at French Settlement in
Livingston parish, others who knew
him only few months were bending
every energy to find some trace Of the
person guilty of the dastardly deed.
BIoodhounds have been called upon to
aid in the man-hunt, and no effort will
be spared in finding the culprit.
The authorities have little or moth
ing upon which to work, but they are
making use of every possible clue. Mrs.
Willis last saw her husband alive on
Wednesday, when he left the house for
Bear Island on a SICK call.
DR.. Willis was murdered returning
from this call. three loads of buckshot
being fired into his body. When he
did not return searching parties looked
for him, and Boy" Lambert found the
body far into the marshland. An oiled
rain shield was wrapped around it,
The horse, hitched to the buggy, was
tied TO a tree and was driven TO frenzy
because of the lack of food or water.
The body was brought to Algiers
Friday night and taken to the home OF
Frank Facius, Jr., DR.. Willis brother
in-law. where the funeral was held
DR.. Willis had been at French Settle
ment five months. He was 30 years
old and a native of Algiers. He was
the son of the late Alexander Willis

/ lege in 1908.

I er. three brothers, Charles. Louis F.
and William Willis, and three married
sisters, Mines. Louisa McQuilling, Kate

THE ARCADIANS.

The number of requests for invita-
lions 10 the first reception to be given
Friday night, October 10th, by the Ar
cadians in Pythian Hall, has already
far exceeded the original list and from
this it is very evident that the attend
ance will be large, this being the ini-
tial dance given by the Arcadians to
entertain their friends, and we might
say here that the many friends of the
club will say after it is all over that
lit was some dance"
The hall will be prettily decorated
for the occasion and a fine orchestra
has also been reserved Some special
features will be introduced during the
dance and we have this information
! from one of the club members, and no
doubt the curiosity of the young people
will be satisfied only after they have
been shown.
The Arcadians is a club represented
in its membership by some of our very
prominent young men and under their
auspices the dance will be strictly in
accord with propriety.
