.DUVAL and MURFf
GIRL GET REHEARING
Crowley Prisoners Given
Another Chance to Gain
Their Liberty.

Dora Murff, the young Crow
ley woman convicted as an ac-
complice in the murder Of young
Millard Delhaye, together with
her step-father. James Duyal,
who was given life imprisonment
was granted a rehearing Of the
case by the state supreme court
on last Monday.
When the Murff girl was told
the decision of the court she ex-
pressed a confidence of being &C
quilted. The step p-father also
was elated over the action of the
supreme court, stating that he
too would be turned free.
The supreme court granted a
new trial to the girl because 1t
was shown by her attorney that
the crowds that invaded the
courtroom during the sensational
trial had been prejudiced against
her case.
The two, who were convicted
at Crowley last year, pleaded
the unwritten law, claiming that.
Delhaye, former sweetheart Of
Dora Murff, had betrayed her
love, refusing to marry her, as
he was preparing to marry an
other girl.
The supreme court will hear
1 the case over again and IL il be
ishown that the girl was not
given a fair and impartial trial
the case will be turned over to
the Acadia officials, and new
trial will be held.

tice on that day, playing rings
around roses with the rivals Of
the Opelousas players.
Daughtry, the young pitcher
whom the local fans have heard
so much of, left the box in the
seventh after yielding an abun-
dance of hits which totaled
eleven runs. In the ninth in
ming he evidently got disgusted
Of the game because he was not
to be seen when his time at bat
arrived.
Eunice, however, is a very en-
thusiastic little town. With all
due respect to the superior play
ing Of the Opelousas boys, it
must be admitted that the crowd
which witnessed the game was
the largest seen at a ball game
in this section of the state.
Practically one thousand fans
paid admittance to the ball
grounds, Opelousas furnishing
over two hundred.

Opelousas will now be con-
nected with Alexandria by a mo-
tor car service, which will en-
able business people of this city
to attend to business in Alexan-
dria without spending overnight
in that city. As the schedule is
at present it necessitates the
spending of two nights in Alex
andria by Opelousas people in
order to transact a few hours Of
business.
A delegation from towns along
the Alexandria Lafayette branch
appeared before the railroad
commission during the week to
demand the operation of a motor
car service between Lafayette
and Alexandria. The case last
ed four hours and a-haf, as the
commission was desirous Of get
ting all information necessary on
the subject in order to compel
the railrord company to establish
the new service, which will be of
great benefit to the patrons Of
the branch road.
Those who appeared before the
commission were: Mayor E. Z.

representing Opelousas;; Mayor

modation was simply fierce. The
Sunset people can not, by the
present schedule, come to Ope-
lousas on the train to transact
their business; nor could the peo-
pie south of Alexandria go to
that city, without practically
losing two days. Now that the
motor car service between Alex
andria and Lafayette is to be es-
tablished the people in this city
boast Of splendid railroad facili-
ties.
It is proposed that the motor
will leave Lafayette in the neigh
borhood Of six o'clock in the
morning, arriving in Alexandra
about eleven o'clock; returning
it will leave Alexandria around
8 o'clock, allowing about four or
five hours time in the Central
Louisiana city.
T e Opelousas Progressive
League, headed by Mr.. L. II.
Mornhinveg, together with Hon.
E. Z. Loeb, mayor of this city,
had been working with view
of having the service established
for several months. As soon as
they secured the cooperation of
the officials of the various towns
and villages on the branch line
the demand for the motor car
was made to the railroad COM
mission. which was granted dur
ing the week.
It is not known when the car
will begin operating, but it is.

few days this city will be con-

rain which occurred at the very
hour when the exercises were to
begin there was a fairly good
sized audience.

man receiving a diploma, carried
off two medals, being awarded
the general excellence medal,

SEVERAL TOWNS TO
OBTAIN NATURAL GAS.
Busch---Everett Sell Caddo
Gas Property to the
Texas Oil Go.

The Texas Oil Company, COM
posed of the estate Of John w.
Gates and millionaire associates,
has bought out the rights and
franchise and property of the
Busch-Everett oil and gas syn
dicate in Ca lido parish and other
parts of Louisiana and have be-
gun negotiations for carrying
out the 50-year natural gas fran
chise of the Burch-Everett peo-
pie.
The statement was made on
Saturday by w. w. Boudreau Of
the Texas oil concern and New
Orleans City Commissioner w.
B. Thompson. Commissioner
Thompson said that the Texas
people seemed to be very much
in earnest about bringing their
natural gas to New Orleaus and
asked him what would be the at
titude of the people and officials
of New Orleans to bringing gas
to the Crescent City.
Not only will the people OF
New Orleans welcome the natu-
raj gas, but cities all along the
line from the Caddo oil fields to
New Orleans will benefit by this
cheap fuel.
a probable system OF pipe lines
throughout the state and into
Mississippi, supplying several
important cities in both Louis

1t is reported that the Texas
Oil Company will invest over ten
million dollars in this new enter
prise and will give employment
to thousands of people between
Caddo parish and New Orleans.
There are several routes pro-
posed and as yet the Texas COM
pany has not decided upon either
of the numerous routes mention

direction the pipes will lead to

ALARM system COMPLETED.
Superintendent M a u ! e n
Makes Private Test;
Proves Satisfactory.

The new fire alarm system was
completed on Thursday evening
and Immediately thereafter a
private test was made by Super
intendent Maulen, who has been
for several weeks erecting the
splendid system; the courthouse
bell rang out the numbers of
several boxes and at the fire
station all boxes were rung in.
The system will shortly be in
spected by the State Fire Pre-
vention Bureau and several ex-
perts from other cities whom
Ma. Maulen invited over will be
here for the test.
After the inspection it will be
up to the Board of Aldermen
to accept the system.
The members of the fire de-
partment are individually proud
and glad that the system has
been installed and its erection
has added materially to the eff
fciency of the department.
The Opelousas e e C r ic fire
alarm system is the same as
is installed in all the large cities
of the United States and Europe,
at the same time being the very
best money can purchase.

audience and the young gradu-
ates.
The new building which was
opened on last Wednesday is a
credit to Opelousas; it is claimed
to be one of the most up-to- date
and modern, as we'll as sanitary
school buildings, in the entire
state.
It was largely through the un-
firing efforts Of Superintendent
of parish education, C. ]. Thomp-
son, that the taxpayers of Opel
ousas voted the tax in order to
raise sufficient funds to erect a
building worthy of this city.
The new Opelousas school house
will be ready for occupancy next
September, when it is expected
by Professor Prescott that over
six hundred children will be en-
rolled.
