COURT WILL DECIDE
IDENTITY Of BOY

Opelousas, La, Feb. 13.-A case dis
puted identity that has kept whole sec
tons of Louisiana and Mississippi II
more or less of a turmoil for the past
two years is likely to be solved here
within the next few weeks when jury
of st. Landry parish will pass on the
guilt of w. c. Walters, who is to be
tried on a charge Of having kidnapped
fiye-year-old Robert Dunbar.
The Dunbar child disappeared from
his home here on August %, 1912. Mr..
and Mrs. c. P. Dunbar, the parents o.
the child. Believed that he might have
been drowned in nearby lake A
careful dragging CT the lake, however,
failed to disclose the body In the fol
lowing April Walters was arrested Mt
Foxworth, Miss, and a child supposed
to be Robert Dunbar taken from him,
AS eight months had passed the boy
himself had 70 no recollection of his
former home Walters declared the
boy was the iIlegitimate child of his
brother and had accompanied him
from North Carolina on a wagon trip
on which Walters piled his trade as
tinker
At this state of the proceedings mat
tiers were complicated by the fact that
Walters furnished proof that he had
left North Carolina with a boy of prac-
tically the same age as the DunbaS
child. Julia Anderson, the mother of
the North Carolina lad, was brought
to louisiana She swore first that the
boy was not her son. Later she be
came convinced that he was Mrs.
Dunbar likewise was not certain in
her first identity of the boy The next
day she was convinced that it was he
The child was brought back to Opel
ousas and has been living with the
Dunbars since.
Soon after the arrest of Walters
public opinion in the case became di-
yided into two camps Walters is
without funds and his case mas been
championed by people in Mississippi
who believe in his story. Extradition
papers were issued for the accused
man only after Gov. Brewer of Missis-
sippi had a special commission inves-
tigate the case and after a long fight
in the courts.
In granting the eXtradition Gov
Brewer issued a public statement in
which he said: There is a sharp con-
hict in the facts, many good, reputable
disinterested witnesses in this state
being willing to swear this man was
in Mississippi, and that this child is
Bruce Anderson. and not Robert Dun
bar, but this is a question of fact that
think should be decided by the courcs
Of Louisiana, and the courts of that
state, it may be presumed, will give the
man a fair and impartial trial"

Carranza, on the contrary, has been suspicious, punctillious, boastful and offen- sive. Villa, the fighting man, would welcome an honorable peace.

 After taking Black -Draught for a few days, I always feel like a new man.''
 Nervousness, nausea. heartburn, pain in pit of stomach, and feeling oi flilI- ness after eating, are sure symptoms ot stomach trouble, and should be given the proper treatment, as your strength and health depend very largely upon your food and its digestion.
 To get quick and permanent relief from these ailments, you should take a medicine of known curative merit.

Who Is To Deliver Mexico?

What the Huerta men at Mag ara are trying to save is not the usurper, but the usurpation. They will sacrifice Huerta to save the land interests. When they speak of a neutral provis- ional president they mean one who, while not openly attached to either the dictatorship or the rebellion, is steeped in aris- tocracy and land monopoly. There are plenty of such hidal- gos who would be glad to have peace, but who intend, if possi- hle, to keep. their land.
 If this grandee element per sists in it's refusal to accept a Constitutionalist whose modera- tion would be guaranteed by the United States, Brazil, Argentine and Chilli, it will have an oppor- tunity presently to deal with General Villa, who is land re- former of the machine gun type. When he arrives in the City of Mexico with his victorious army, estates and fortunes, ancient ti- ties and privileges, that are now held with a death-like grip will not appear so valuable.
 It is not so much a military situation or a political upheaval that mediation helplessly cor fronts as a social and economic revolution. Of this movement, Villa, whatever his early record, is a truer representative than sCarranza. Villa has triumphed partly because of his ability as a soldier ,but principally be- cause in his ranks the new Mex ico is to be found armed and res olute.

Richardson is wide a wake as to land values, having lived in this section of the state all his life, and has bought thousands of acres of choicest sandy, river bottom cotton land. He has been 20 years buying all these lands and his holdings embrace our best cotton farms. Some of these lands are now paying him more rent per annum than they cost him.
