Held on Charge
Of BOOtIeSSin9
B. X. CASH IS BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
Hearing Will Come Up During Present Term Of
District Court

The preliminary examination
of b. X. Cash, charged with un-
lawfully selling liquor, was heard
before Justice William ID. KeetOn
Saturday. Warrants had been
issued for his partner, jerry Saw
yer, and E. w. Knapp, but Saw
yer left town and could not be
found and Knapp forfeited his
bond of one hundred dollars and
has departed for parts unknown,
leaving the case against Cash
the only one to be heard.
County Attorney Wernette
came up from Occur d'Alene to
prosecute the case, accompanied
by Sheriff Bailey who was
present at the hearing.
Mr. Cash and his partner, Saw
yer are the proprietors of the
Missouri Waffle Kitchen on
Tenth street and the particular
charge was maintaining nuis-
ance by permitting liquor to be
drank on their premises.
The state introduced the evil
dence of two girls who admitted
having, on two occasions, been
in the place in the evening in
company with two young men,
the party drinking from six to
eight bottles of beer on each oc-
OCCASION. Other witnesses were
introduced who testified to see
ing liquor drank there and that
the two young men who were
with the girls we're noisy and
used abusive language. An
other witness testified that at
the request of Sawyer he had, on
one occasion carried two bottles
of beer and a lunch from the
Waffle Kitchen to the Kootenai
Inn The bookkeeper of the Mil
waukee railroad brought the liq-
uor entry book of the company,
which showed that in the month
of August six barrels of beer and
five cases of whiskey had been
delivered to Cash and Sawyer
each of the two signing alter
nately for the shipments. R. b.
Norris, attorney for the defend
ant, objected strenuously to the
introduction of this evidence, es-
pecially as to that of the liquor
signed for by Sawyer as he was
not on trial and his objection was
sustained by the court. The
evidence of the state was all OF
occurrences that took place in the
evening and on every occasion it
was Sawyer who was present and
on no occasion was Cash shown
to be present. The only evi-
dence there was to connect Cash
with the selling of the liquor was
the fact that he was partner
in the business and had signed
for liquor delivered there
Mr. Norris argued strenuously
that this was not sufficient to
connect Cash with and make him
guilty of the charge and that a
partner could not be presumed
to be acting for his copartneI
when he was committing a crime
He asked for time in which tC
furnish the court authorities OF
this point and Justice Keetor
gave him until eight o'clock tha
evening to do so, taking the cast
under advisement.

Nothing On Police Juror

For the first time in the his
tory of St. Landry politics there
is one office vacant for which in
the space of two weeks, no one
has been mentioned as a candi-
date.
There is a vacancy in the police
jury caused by the death of the
late Diomel Durio, and no one is
out for this Office as yet. No one
in the city seems to know any one
DESTROYS of the position. The
police jury has been doing splen-

progressive citizen of the first
ward will announce his candidacy
for the place made vacant by the
death of former police juror

ST. LANDRY NOT TO
HAVE PARISH FAIR
On Account of Lack of Sub
scription Fair Association
Unable to Operate

There will be no parish fan
next month, so announced DR.. r.
M. Littell who has been striving
for the last twelve months to per.
feet the organization of the St.
Landry Parish Fair Association.
In fact DR.. Littell came within
an inch Of organizing the asso-
citation and was elected secretary
of the fair cooperation by the few
progressive farmers and business
men of this parish who gathered
at the courthouse last July.
The failure of the fair this sea-
son is not due to the people of st.
Landry; it is because the farmers
and business men who were will
ing to subscribe their pro rata to
the proposed $4,000 fair associa-
ton are unable to put up this
money at the present time, on
account of financial conditions,
brought about by the European
war.
Dr.. Littell, however, is conf
dent that this is the last time that
Opelousas will be without a par
ish fair; he feels assured that as
soon as the cotton in this parish
will begin moving and the far
mers begin securing good prices
for their staple it will be a very
easy matter to get the progress
sive citizens of this grand old
parish together once more to or
ganize a parish fair association.
Were the law on corporations
as lenient as they were in years
one by it would not be a difficult
task to obtain enough money to
assure the beginning of the fair
association, but as the state law
requires all the capital stock to
be subscribed to and paid for
within ninety days after the cor
poration is a going concern the
perfecting of the st. Landry Par
ish Fair Association has to be
postponed until the early part Of
1915.

Mistake Rat Corn for
Baking Powder.

Five negro children were poi
soned on Thursday morning as
result of the eldest son of Char
ity Green, a negro living on Ian
dry street, taking rat corn, a
violent rat poison, for baking
powder.
The father of the FIVE negroes
poisoned, a few days before dy-
ing had bought the rat corn in
order to exterminate the pests
and forgot to reveal that fact to
his wife. On Thursday morn
ing the eldest son of Charity
Green rose to cook breakfast
and thinking he was using bak-
ing powder added one-half tea
spoon full to the meal and pro-
ceeded to make battercakes.
AS soon as one cake was made
there was a little black ready to
eat it and about ten minutes af-
ter they had all disappeared the
five children, including the older
negro, were seized with violent
vomiting. Upon investigation
by Drs. B. A. Littell and Evans
it was discovered that rat corn,
which looks a great deal like
baking powker and which was
in a box similar to those contain
ing baking powder had been err
roneously used.
The little negro baby was re-
ported dead Thursday night,
having expired at 8 o'clock. The
physicians held out hopes for his
recovery until the last moment
and the rat corn, which is sup
posed to kill rats and mice only.
caused the death of a defense
less negro infant.
