St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-07-04

on Wednesday morning that the
St. Landry representatives
would extend an invitation to
both houses and it is expected
that the majority of the state
Legislators will be in Opelousas
for one day at least.
An interesting program will
be followed out and every effort
will be made to show the many
members Of the Farmers Union
that Opelousas is really the most
hospitable city in the state and
that it is an ideal convention
city
The farmers were entertained
in this city a few years ago and
their desire to come back in the
midst of the citizens of Opelou-
sas is a sure sign that they APP
preciated the treatment they re-
ceived here, when the first state
convention was held.
A banquet will be given at the
Elks Home On Tuesday, July %,
in honor of the Farmers Union;
this will be one of the many
ways by which the farmers will
be entertained whilst in Opelou-
sas.
It is slso rumored that an au-
tomobile party will be formed so.
as to afford the visiting farmers
an opportunity to view the Gar
den of Eden, of which Opelou-
sas is the center. Nearby farms
will undoubtedly be visited dur
ing the convention.

reaching second; Manager De
jean then hit safely between sec
ond and short scoring Durr.
Boudreau hit a fly to right and
Casey struck out.
After retiring the Kinder boys
in order the local players started
scoring again. L. Dejean went
out on grounder from Temple
ton to first; Thompson reached
first on an error by the third
baseman, Snyder following with
a beautiful three-base drive,
which scored Thompson. Brous-
sard, who had an off day on last
Sunday, probably due to the fact
that he has not been well for
sometime, hit an easy grounder
to Ahern, who threw him out at
first. Chastant hit a pop fly to
Wright, who dropped the ball
and Snyder scored the last run
of the game. Durr hit a pop fiy
to second, reaching first when
Templeton failed to hold the ball;
Chastant,. however. in an At-
tempt to go from second to the
home plate was thrown out at
the plate.
The crowd which witnessed
| the game was one of the smallest
at the ball park this season; this
was probably due to the exces-
siye heat Of the day. Neverthe-
less as Opelousas has once more
a winning team it is thought that
| the fans will begin turning out
| in large numbers from Saturday
on.

WASHINGTON ROAD IS
PLEASANT SURPRISE
Gravel on Opelousas- Wash
ington Road Working
Out Fine.

The Opelousas-W Washington
road, which the majority of citi.
zens residing on that highway
thought would be ruined by
placing an eight foot gravel road
on it, has proved to be very
pleasant surprise, not even to the
people of this section, but even
the contractors and those most
interested in the eight foot
gravel road.
That stretch of road construct
ed by Mr.. Elijah Fisher, start
ing in front of the Vidrine place
is considered a splendid road.
The road has been given the
proper curve and it is said that
even if the entire road were to
he laid in gravel it could hardly
be any better than it is at pres
ent.
Automobile owners claim that
there is only one bad feature
about the Opelousas- Washington
road: they are anxious to
see that bad point remedied,
which could very easily be done
by joining Main street with the
gravel road, a distance of a few
hundred feet. It is claimed that
the street in front of the Catho-
lie Church during the rainy sea-
son becomes almost impossible
at times; in order to make the
road between this city and Wash
ington a real model highway the
connection of Main street with
the gravel road is most essential.

.SPRAINS ANKLE in
TWENTY-FOOT FALL
Young Woman Falls from
Second Story of Florence
House Injured.

Mrs. Preston Theall, who re-
Gently moved to this city from
Beaumont, Texas, with her hus-
band, fell from the gallery of a
second story building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Theall had been
boarding at the Florence House
since their arrival in this city
two weeks ago. On Monday
evening the young woman was
not feeling well and when her
husband started to leave for the
Waldorf Restaurant, where he
was employed, she leaned over
the bannisters to ask him not to
remain out too late. AS she was
speaking she was seized with a
fainting spell and fell over the
bannisters to the ground over
twenty feet below.
When the young man rushed
to the assistance of his wife he
found her lying in an unconscious
state, whereupon DIR. Evans was
quickly summoned. When Mrs.
Theall was brought to" it was
discovered that she had sprain-
ed her ankle and also her back.
The young woman is expected
to be up within the next few
DAYS, though her bruises are
painful.

ney General took up the examination
of the witness. She testified that Mr..
Edward H Stoses was an uncle, by
marriage, of hers; that she and "Un-
Gle Ed, Mrs Emma Adams and
daughter Cora P Adams, went to
Philadelphia in uncle Eds" new
auto on July. Sd, 1912; that on the
way up, she noticed the crossing in
question and its dangerous nature;
that the party met in Philadelphia
some time in the afternoon and were
driven by garage employee to the
ferry, where Mr.. Stokes took charge
of the car. That upon arrival in
Franklinville some trouble was ex-
perienced in. the nature of slight
collision with a telegraph pole which
damaged one lamp or headlight; that
some time before reaching the Malaga
crossing she remarked upon hearing
a train pass and that all of the pas
sengers in the car looked carefully
for any train that might be coming
either way; that Mr.. Stokes almost
stopped the automobile and then,
started up to cross the track. Just
at that time she saw. a headlight al
most upon her. upon which, she
sprang forward and was struck from
the rear. She also testified as to her
injuries, consisting of broken hip
bones, a curved spine and shortened
leg. Speaking of her inability to do
hard work, walk far, or live in any
way as she had been used to doing
before the accident.
DR.. Wescott, of Hammonton,
brother of Atty. General Wescott,
(the physician attending) was the
next witness called. Upon examina-
ton he testified as to the enfeebled
condition of Miss Wisham, saying that
she was hopelessly crippled, a semi
invalid and incurab1e; also that she
was and is retrograding rather than
improving.
Lee T. Hallock, of Clayton, was
called, and his testimony as owner
and driver of an automobile, and one
well acquainted with the crossing in
question, was such as to substantiate
the contention of the plaintiffs
that the said Malaga Crossing
was a dangerous one. He recounted
an occasion upon which he himself
had a close shave at the same cross
ing. Upon his testimony regarding
conditions, ETC., at the crossing, the
map previously ruled out, was admit
ted in evidence. simply for the en-
lightenment of the jury as to the ply
sical conditions at the crossing in
July, 1912.
Mr.. Wade was recalled to explain
the dimensions on the map.
Lorenzo Adams, plaintiff in two of
the cases, was next called and exam
med, regarding the accident, testified
to the ability and physical condition
of Mr.. Stokes at the time of the ac-
cident. which he stated had been good
and to his best knowledge from OBJ
servation, to have been of man
thoroughly capable of handling an
automobile. After long examination
