ed the following report:
We confront a deplorable and in
tolerable situat ON that demands q
remedy, and the remedy should be ap-
pl ed without delay and without fav-

bald. so astounding, that no right
thinking citizen can fa'l to see them
and discern in them a significance
that IS appalling. These are the
facts:
H gh crime can be committed bold

The attorneys appointed are B. NJ.

The case in question is that of
julia Johnson, charged with killing
twin infants 1T their birth. The de-
tails Of the crime were shocking; SO
much so that the quest on Of her san

very probable doubt. The act became
a subject for sensational newspaper
reports and was written up in the
New Orleans papers as well as the
local press. The crime charged oc-

FIRE BREAKS OUT ON SUNDAY
MORNING, RESIDENCE, DAI-
RY BARELY ESCAPE.
Loss ESTIMATED
TO Be over $4,000
Home Equipment, With Gasoline En-.
CINE and 800 Feet of Hose, Pre-
vents Fire from Spreading.

Mr.. JOS. Schnyder sustained heavy
loss by fire last Sunday morning. 1t
was about O'Clock a. IN. when he
discovered the flames sweeping sky
ward, too late to save anyth ne in
the frame building that was used as
a sugar house, and which contained
machinery for cane grinding, ga
rage, and other things. Mr.. Schny-
der Is one of the most progressive
farmers in the parish, and has one
of the finest equipped dairy plants
in the State. having made one of the
highest scores in the statewide in
spection made by DR.. Dowling. To
the fact that he was finely equipped
he owes the saving of his residence
and his dairy building. Finding it
useless to attempt to save the sugar
house, he attached three hundred feet
of hose to the large water tank, and
using a gasoline engine for power,
he played water on the bl.stering
buildings and sheds that threatened
every moment to break into a blaze,
and with the help of others succeed
ed in saving them, in spite of the
intense heat that would have made
even hardened fireman feel Ike
seeking shelter.
In summing up, after all was over,
Mr.. Schuyler figured that his loss
was between four and Eve thousand
dollars, without cent of insurance.
But he felt thankful, withal, for had
he not been equ pped as he was he
would have lost home and everything
Besides the sugar-house end machin-
cry, Mr.. Schuyler lost his automobile
and about four hundred chickens,
among which were some fine breeds
that had won the st. Tammany Farm
er cup at two st. Tammany parish
fair exhibitions. These. chickens
were the especial care Of Mrs. Schny-
der. who had taken: much pride in
them and bred them to q high state
of perfection. She had confidence
that she could Sga n produce prize
winners at the next fair.
