Rayville, La. T. Cook, of
this city, has invented boil wee-
vii machine which has been given
a trial on several farms around
Rayville, and has met with sur
prising success. The machine is
placed on wagon with a gasoline
engine attached, which operates
the machine with a suction over
the row of cotton. A pair of
horses pull the wagon and every
insect on the cotton is sucked into
the machine. Besides getting all
the weevil and other insects, it
gets all the punctured cotton
squares, thereby leaving no eggs of
the weevil for other weevil to
mature from. The machine gets
more weeviIs than can be possibly
found on the row with the naked
eye, and people who have seen it
operated say it is the best weeyil
catcher ever known.

ON A HEARING
viii Kyzar the Slayer Of Tom Lam
bert in East Lincoln is Re-
leased Without Bail.

Will Kyzal, white, who shot and
killed Tom Lambert last Saturday
morning on the public road in this
county, about fourteen miles SOUTH
east of Brookhaven, was released
by R. S, Butler, j. P. on prelim-
mary hearing held Wednesday.
Owing to the prominence of the
dead man and the accused, quite a
large crowd of people from the
neighborhood of the tragedy at
tended the hearing.
There was a large number of
witnesses present. but only a few
were called to the witness stand.
1t was shown on the trial by the
State that Kyzar and Tom Lam
bert. the deceased, were brothers.
in-law, Kyzar's wife being a sister
of Lambert. that about year ago
Lambert assisted in some way in
the marriage of Kyzar's daughter
against the wishes of her parents;
and that bad feeling between the
two men was caused on this ac-
count. Some months ago Kyzar's
daughter, who married against
his will, Cied. 1t was shown that
Lambert had. made a number of
threats toward Kyzar and it had
been feared trouble between the
twu men would likely occur some
time. About 5 o'clock last Friday
morning Lambert was on his way
to Brookhaven in his wagon and
kyzar caught up with him in his
buggy, when some quarrel ensued
which resulted in both men engag-
ing in fist fight in the public road
and that Kyzar suffered broken
Jaw bone. The evidence showed
that an extended scuffie was had
and that they had fallen into the
ditch by the road, and tracks evil
denced that both men walked back
to where the buggy was. Bullet
holes in the dirt by the roadside
showed the accused was standing
about the buggy. After the shoot
ing Lambert went diagonally across
the road where he fell, and when
found had an open knife lying near
him. Lambert had one shot that
entered his right arm and entered
his right side, and the only other
shot scarcely grazed the side of
his head. A dime lay by the dead
mans side and his pocket appeared
to be half turned wrong side out.
Certain evidence showed that after
Lambert was killed a buggy passed
several hundred yards up the road
west Of the scene of the difficulty
and then turned and went back to
within few yards of the dead
man, where the mule hitched there
to, stamped and paved in the road,
and then turned again and after
going back up the road went
toward the home of a brother of
Kyzar.
The defendant was not put on
the stard and no portion of his
version of the difficulty was before
the court save what he told other
persons after the difficulty and
after he had come on to Brook
haven and had surrendered to the
sheriff. Upon the whole evidence.
before the court. it was apparent
that Kyzar acted solely in self
defense and thus he was released
without bond.
