Took Saddle With Him.

Our old friend, ]. c. Naylor,
bought a Ford machine a short
time ago, and took it out on the
prairie to break it. And what is
more, he took a saddle in the ma
chine with him. We don't know
whether he thought the Ford
was a broncho that needed riding
with a saddle, or what. At any
rate he went out into a big mead
ow and tried to learn the MA
chine. He got 1t started all
right, but could not learn it to
be bridlewise, so he. borrowed a
horse, put the saddle on It and
went home. Arriving home, he
told his daughter she could have
the blamed car; that he did not
want anything further to do with
it. ]. C. will no doubt deny all
this, but it is a fact, just the
same.

President Wilson and the members
of his personal and official family
who were with him at Pass Christian
Miss, left there Sunday night, Jan.
II, and arrived safely Tuesday morn
ing at Washington. Before taking his
departure from the delightful coast
resort, the president held a reception
at which he met and greeted some
200G of the residents, to whom he
expressed his appreciation Of the
considerate courtesy with which he
and his party had been treated.
Better than this, the chief execu-
tive manifested in his manner and
appearance that the rest and recrea-
ton enjoyed had fully restored him
to his usual good health and put him
in fine shape for taking up again the
thread of his Onerous official duties
and steering the sometimes unruly and
obstreperous great American congress
in thu way it should go.
Again, Mr. President, permit us to-
say the people of Dixie are delighted
to have had you with them. Further
more, they are gratified to know the
sojourn has done you good, and to
man, woman and child they hope you
viii repeat the visit soon and often.

urderous Outbreak II a State
priSnp

Three desperate convicts broke out
of the state penitentiary at Nc
Alister, Oklahoma, on the Goth inst,
killing four men and Wounding one
other on the way. The fugitives were
pursued by mounted guards and all
three shot to death within a few
minutes after leaving the prison.
One Of the victims was Judge John
R. Thomas, formerly a congressman
from Illinois, who was visiting the
warden's office on business. Three
others were prison officers. Miss
Mary Foster, the telephone operator
OF the prison, was wounded in the
leg by a shot fired at the fleeing pris-
oners. The conVicts We're Charles
Koontz, "China" Reed and Tom
Lane. Fifteen hundred prisoners
cheered their mutinous comrades
when the shooting began, but prompt
action by the guards prevented fur
ther demonstration. How the rebel
llous convicts obtained the revolyers
with which they were armed has not
yet been discovered.

phreys, on behalf of the Atehafalaya
levee board, stated that the organiza.
| ton recognized it's obligation in the
premises and was willing to build the
locks, but did not have the money al
this time to begin the task, and con.
sidered it has a higher obligation to
perform in erecting levees for the
protection Of the country threatened
by overflow.
Gov. Hall in measure concurred
with this view of the matter. but re-
allied that the people of tae La
fourche valley are entitled to some
recognition in their demand for re
lief from the present intolerable con-
ditions prevailing as q result of the
closure of Bayou Lafourche, and ruled
that it was incumbent upon the le-
wee boards to take some preliminary
steps at once looking to the ultimate
removal of the dam and the con-
struction of locks that will mean the
reclamation Of the beautiful BAYOU
as a naVigable stream and CONNER
cial highway
The delegation of citizens repre-
sentlng the people of the Lafourche
valley and other sections interested
was composed of Capt. J. r. Drackett,
of Morgan City; F. L. Knobloch, of
Thibodaux; c. c. Barton, sr., of AS
sumption; Mayor Walter Lemann, R.

min Tobias, S. Goette, Dominic Du-
cos, J. J. Lafargue and Capt. M. F,
Bradford, of Donaldsonvil1c; L. w.

Braud, of Burnside. Commissioners
Hlmel and Lemann of the Lafourche
ieVee board were also present. at the
conference, which lasted from the
time the delegation arrived at Baton
Rouge in the forenoon until the de-
parture of the south-bound Mis-
slsslppl Valley passenger train at
1855 o'clock in the afternoon.
