CHARGED THAT CERTAIN VOTES
WERE ILLEGALLY CAST FOR
THE GLISSON FACTION.
INJUNCTION ISSUED =.
TUESDAYS ELECTION
IL Contention That There Was Illegal
Voting is Sustained the Bor'les
Faction Will 60 in Office.

On the 21st of April an election
was held for mayor and aldermen OF
the town of Abita Springs. The
campaign was hot one and the fac
tional feeling was SO strong that the
individually of the candidates was
lost in fealty to party, there being
few instances of scratching. The
throwing out of a ballot meant vote
less for that faction all along the
line, and the vote was SO close that
one or two votes taken from the win
ming side and applied to the losers
would have made the losers winners.
Glisson won by one vote, there be ng
one tie for alderman. This resulted
in an election being called for Tues
day, May 18, to vote off the tie.
In the meantime the Bordes fac
tion asserted that while the returns
as promulgated gave the election to
the Glisson faction, by rights the
favor. because, they asserted, GER
tain votes had been illegally cast
and certain other votes illegally
thrown out. making a difference Of
seven votes in the election. They
say that If these irregularities are
corrected the entire Bordes ticket
will be elected.
These facts are set forth in Pc
Gtson filed in the district court ask
ing that the returns be set aside and
that a correct return be made in ac-
cordance with these facts and that
the petitioners be declared elected.
A writ of Injunction was issued DrO-
h!biting the election set for last
Tuesday. It is expected the case
will be decided soon.

ST. PAUL's ANNUAL OUTING.

The Second Annual Outing of the
st. Paul College was participated in
by over one hundred students last
Saturday on the shores of Lake Pom
chartrain.
At $3.50 in the morning the crowd
boarded the motor cars for Mande-
vile and during the day fishing,
boating and bathing were the chief
sources of amusement for the little
tots as we'll as the larger ones. An
elaborate spread right on the beach
and under massive oaks kept them
all quiet for little while and in the
evening baseball game with the
Vaudeville team resulted In q. score
OF II to ! in favor of the college,
the features of which were Didier's
home run, Prejean's three base drive
and Coombs' two sacker. Olias Lam
dry, sub-pitcher for the college, twirl-
ed pretty game, allowing only four
hits. while he had twelve Of the
Mandevillians to fan the gentle
breeze, and issued only three free
trips to first. w. Shells, pitching for
Vaudeville, gave up IA hits, walked
3 and struck out 6. but no record Of
errors on either side was kept, the
scorer claiming they were made too
fast and as he had no fork it would
have been useless to mark them sing
ly. Vaudeville was represented by
Paine, Wallace Coombs, Smith, w.
lnd L. Shells, Newman, Bourgeois,
and Davis, while st. Paul had Cas-
sagne, Ode Landry, Michele, Didier.
Dill. PrejeaH, o. p. Landry, Blanchet
and Olias Landry. After the first
game the Juniors defeated the Kids
by score Of 80 to s. Father Pla-
eide umpired both games.
To-morroy Sunday the fast ans
teur aggregation of ball t0ssers
known as the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine Ball Club from New Orleans,
will play the College team on the
new grounds. game commencing at 2
p. M. and as the new grand stand
has just been completed, q good
crowd should be on hand. The col
lege band will play some Of their
choicest selections.

Good Work at Fliday's Fire

The Covington Fire Department
had an opportunity to show what
can be done in the way of fire pro-
lection with the new fire-tighting ap-
paratus they have at hand to-day and
plenty Of water. When the alarm
sounded, about s o'clock Friday
evening. the engine was hauled to
the fire by hand, which was but a
few blocks away, on Theard Avenue,
the hose was dropped in the big tank
OF the ice factory, and in a few mo-
ments good stream was playing on
the flames. The frame cottage was
at that time completely ablaze from
hoor to roof in the rear. In twen-

work, also, as we'll as the chemical

be given credit for doing good WORK.

oils and any amount of other inflam
mable material located behind thu
David-Mitchell house, with the Pyth.

A conservative opinion of the loss
is, DR.. Paine's residence and houses
$1,000; Ribava residence and hotel
$4,000; Telepho one Company, matert-
al, $1,000; furniture. incidentals,
etc., including confectionery stock,
$4,000. Total, $4,000.
1t Is stated that Mr.. Frank Ri
bava also lost $4,000 in cash, besides
his property loss.
With the exception of the Tele-
phone Company, which is said to
carry its own insurance, there was
not a cent Of insurance on any of
the burned property. In this loss
must be included that of Mr.. Albert
Deloney, who loses the entire para
phernalia of a new stand.
Mr.. Douglas Ulmer, overcome by
the heat and excitement, succumbed
to an attack of heart failure. He
was taken in charge by friends and
on Wednesday morning was again on

was in Vaudeville by 6:15 a. M, and
by $3.50 a. m. was in communication
with Covington and New Orleans over
his own lines from Vaudeville, pre-
pairing for the new equipment
1t is reliably rumored, SO much so
that it may be stated as a fact, that
the new telephone exchange will be
located in the bank building. Men
are now at work On said site.
That the Women's Progressive
Union has not misapplied the quail
flying adjective is proven by:
First-That the Union has been
incorporated and the charter will
shortly be published.

been bought and paid for.

to be finished within four weeks.
Fourth-That the building and
especially the rest rooms, will be
open to the ladies accompanying the
