MERCANTILE TO BE
in new QUARTERS
Reported Mr.. Isaac VIII
Christen Building With
A Dance.

The Opelousas Mercantile
Company will soon move into its
new and attractive quar- ers on
Main and North streets, is the
hope of its popular manager,
Mr.. Ike Roos. On account of
delayed material the contractors
could not finish the modern and
up-to-date brick establishment,
which is almost completed, by
the first Of the year, as was at
first anticipated.
It will not be many days be-
fore the floor of the building
will have been completed and it
is said that the owner of the
building. Mr.. Isador Isaac, is
preparing to give his many
friends in this city a splendid
dance. His friends say that he
is already in communication
with duck firm, near here, to
supply him with fifty wild ducks
for the occasion. The dance no
doubt will be a great success, as
the hall will be a large one,
the floor suited for the occasion,
and the band will be on hand.
1t is expected that Mr.: Isaac
will issue invitations for the
dance within the next week or
ten days.
Coming back to the building it
must be said that it will be one
of the prettiest store buildings
in Opelousas. It's solid glass
front will.make it one of the most
attractive places on Main street.
Mr.. Ike Roos will be pleased to-
meet his hundreds of old pa
irons, as well as new ones, when
he will have established himself
in his new quarters.

OF Dr.. Marvin Z. Graves, presi-
dent of the Texas medical society
who will deliver the Grafton on
medicine and DR.. Fischer, Gin
cinatti, one Of the ablest of the
western medicos.
i. At 7::30 the court house was
filled by an appreciative audience.
DR.. DoWling delivered a master
" address, on state medicine.
which was intently listened to,
and for which he was accorded q
rising vote Of thanks.
pr. Mayer who was billed for
an address said that in view OF
the lateness Of the hour and the
fact that there was to be an i'm
portant committee meeting at
the Lacombe, wherein ladies
would be accorded a vote that he
would forego the opportunity Of
speaking SO as to reach the next
number on the program, a very
able paper by DR.. Paul Foster,
on the family physician and his
relation to the public. which the
doctor handeled in his usual
chaste and classic style.
The committee meeting at the
7 acombe turned out to be q gor-
geous banquet Of forty covers, as
Mine Host" Cretin outdid him
self; the decorations and the
flowers were so supberb that DR..
Bowling expressed a wish for a
flash light photograph. But it
was found that the brilliance Of
the ladies' eyes conteracted the
calcium lights and it was ilnpos-
sible to obtain the desired
chrome.
DR.. Mayer was elected toast
master and BY 11:30 o'clock had
extracted q toast from q score Of
speakers, male and female,
medical and lay, including the
guests Of honor, Drs. Bowling
and Ellis, the outgoing president
and the incoming one, Dir. Brown
and the latter's eloquent and
witty wife, DR.. Nc. =. Swords,
Drs. schell of the Canal and Tom
cCaffery Of Washington. B. 9.
The banqueters adjourned at a
late hour, immensely pleased at
the success Of the evening.
Opelousas' sister town, Wash
ington should be congratulated
upon capturing the medical
honorS.

OPELOUSAS TO HAVE
w. C. WALTERS SOON
Alleged Kdnapper OF Robert Dunbar, To Be Brought
To OpeIousas For Trial--Not Known When Sheriff
Swords VIII Leave For Columbia

The news of the decision of The
Supreme Court did not come as {
surprise to the people of this
city and parish, as it was always
thought that Walters would be
turned over to Louisiana. Nc
excitement was noticeable, but
every one seemed to be pleased
that the Walters they have heard
of so much and the one they have
read Of in the daily papers for
weeks and weeks will be tried
right here in Opelousas. the very
home of Bobbie Dunbar, whom
he is alleged to have kidnapped
over a year ago. In a few hours
practically the entire parish was
acquainted with the decision.
The Dunbar Walters case is
known practically to every living
being in the south, but the out
come of the case will be of inter-
est to the entire country and
there is no doubt that when the
time comes to try the alleged
kidnapper the city will be throng-
ed with visitors from every por-
tion of the state. Opelousas will
be the scene Of one of the most
unique cases ever tried in any
court in the United States.
Julia Anderson, who came
here during the summer, and
who at first denied that Bobbie
Dunbar was Bruce Anderson,
her child afterwards admitting
in New Orleans that he was her
child, will be here to testify in
favor Of the itinerant.
It is not known whether Wal
ters will be given a trial as soon
as he arrives here, or not, but it
is presumed that a special term
Of the criminal court will be call
ed in order to dispense with the
case as soon as possible.

c. |. HAYES TO
SERVE AS MARSHAL
Mr.. Hayes Has No Opposi-
ton in Race for
Reelection.

City tax collector and city
marshal Clarence Z. Hayes will
have an easy time to be re
elected marshal Of this city for
the seventh consecutive time.
He has no opposition, thus far,
and there is very little chance
that any one will go into the
race against the city marshal.
Mr.. HAYES has been in city
politics for over twelve years
and each time he went before
the public for the Office Of mar
shal was elected by very fatter-
ing votes. He is the only mem
Der Of the present city admins
tration who has been connected
with the city affairs for twelve
years, and he is the only one
who has what one would call 9
cinch" for reelection.
Citizens of Opelousas know
Mr.. Hayes as one Of the mos
accommodating and reliable
officials in the city. He is al
ways ready to render a seryict
to any one, no matter If it is tt
a political enemy. Always po
lite and full Of energy Mr.
Hayes has been found in tht
course Of twelve years the hard
est man to defeat in Opelousas
His would-be political enemies
have given up the battle and Mr.
Hayes is a sure winner in tn,

OPELOUSAS NOW ON
THE BUILDING BOON
It Is Rumored That Three
Buildings Are Going Up
On Landry.

| Business prospect for the com
ing year must be good, for sure
/ ly no one would venture int
building up-to-date and modern
brick buildings on the principa
street of this city, were it not so
It is reliably rumored that
three brick buildings will be
built on Landry street, between
Court and Main streets, within
the next three or four months.
In fact Mrs. G. 7. Bienvenu has
purchased a lot from the Opelou-
sas National Bank, directly op-
posite the building in which she
is operating her drugstore. for
the purpose of building her store
just like she wants it.
Mr.. M. Winsberg is dickering
with the contractors to construct
a brick building on the site now
occupied by the building former
ly owned by Mrs. Cooke, between
Winsberg's clothing store and
the st. Landry State Bank. This
building will be one of the pret-
test of its kind in this section of
Louisiana if Mr.. Winsberg's
plans go through.
It has been consistently rumor-
ed that Mrs. VIM. Dejean will
construct a building on the site
now occupied by the Bienvenu
drugstore, by BENEFITS whole
sale department. Mr.. Bennett,
however, denied knowing any
thing about it, when interviewed
during the week by a Clarion
representative.
The erection of three pretty
and attractive brick buildings on
Landry street, almost in touch of
each other. will certainly beauti-
fy that portion of the city. It
means that Opelousas is on the
boom and not on the decrease.
Unless these business people did
not anticipate better days for the
old city it is a sure bet that they
would not invest 50 heavily in
building.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-17

W. C. Walters, alleged kidnap.
per Of Bobbie Dunbar, who mys.
teriously disappeared at Swayze
Lake on August 23rd, 1913, when
on a fishing trip with his parents,
will be brought to Opelousas to
stand trial. The Mississippi
Supreme Court decided that Wal
tiers should be turned over to
the Louisiana authorities as soon
as they would reach Columbia,
and that Walters should come to
this city to face the charge of
kidnapping, the penalty of which,
If found guilty, is death.
The people here are confident
that Walters will be dealt with
Justice and even the tinker's S
lawyers, Dale and Rawls are of
the same opinion. They have
resolved to come to Louisiana and
defend their client to the very
last. They will come to St. Lam
dry with a determination to win
their case and the fact that the
officials here have such conclusive
evidence against Walters will
make this case one Of the most
unique ever recorded in the an
nails of this state.
The attorneys of the itinerant
defended him from the lower
court, sometime in last July, be-
fore Judge Weatherby, but lost;
they appealed to the Supreme
Court and were turned down last
Monday. Walters will now have
to come to Louisiana. It is said
that he has refused to apply for
q re-hearing and is resigned to
his fate.
Just when the authorities here
will depart for Mississippi is not
known but it is expected that in
the next two or three days the
sheriff will leave for Columbia.
