A telephone message from Mill
edgeville, where the state prison Is
located, and where Leo NJ. Frank
was taken today after Governor Sla-
ton had commuted his death SEN
tence to life imprisonment, said that
trouble was feared there tonight and
asked that the Governor order out
the Milledgeville company of militia.
The Governor told his informant
that such request would have to
come from the sheriff Of Baldwin
county.
At midnight, however, the sheriff
had not requested troops.
The Governor was surrounded in
his home by about q dozen friends,
nearly everyone of whom was armed
with a rife or pistol. The unexpect-
ed arrival Of member Of the family
at dark corner OF the front porch
caused the Governor himself to hasti-
" pick up large pistol.
Troops Invited to Shoot.
In front of the Governors house
were more than 100 automobiles fill
ed with persons evidently there to
see what the crowd would do.
The troops had great difficulty in
clearing the road Of these machines
and many Of Their orders were met
J with the retort OF ''shoot!"

Governors country home in auto
mobiles, he proclaimed martial law

back and for a distance of about q
quarter of a mile on either side.
When the soldiers lined up with

Slidell, La. June 81, 1915.

Slidell, La, June FL, 1915.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
I have read with interest your edi-
torial upon matters relating to our
school fund.
The item of $401.5O IS easily ac-
counted for, the same being placed
into the Slidell 5-mill tax account,
by Supt. Peters. This was an error.
This money is for the exclusive use
of the Slidell high school, and was
appropriated by the State in 10000
expressly for the use of the said
school. It has no connection, what
ever. with any other fund, being en-
tirely distinct and separate. The
item of $4O1.5O will be charged
against the Slidell 5-mill tax account
to correct error, and placed to the
credit of the Slidell high school ac-
count, where it belongs.
In addition to this item of $4O1. SO
there are also two other items ap-
propriated by the State. $301.14 in
January, 1910, and $513.25 in Feb
ruary, 1911. These three items, as
stated, will be placed to the debit of

Court Proceedings District Court

District Court convened Monday,
June 21, Judge Lancaster ON the
bench and District Attorney Vol
Brock prosecuting. The day was
consumed with preliminary matters
and assignment of cases. Tuesday
being election day court was adjourn
ed to Wednesday.
The grand jury brought in twenty
three true bills. What these bills
were is not known, but the charge OF
Judge Lancaster was very strong and
embraced some matters that were
probably Investigated with true find
ings.
Following cases were disposed Of:
State vs.. Henry Bossier, carrying
concealed weapon, plead guilty, fined
500 and costs of court, and in de-
fault IL months in jail. Sentence
suspended.
State vs.. Jim Lloyd, carrying con-
cealed weapon, plead guilty, fined
800 and costs Of court, and in de-
fault months in Jail.
State VS.. Walter Hunt, disturbing
the peace at Pilgrim Rest Church,

the girls canning clubs, and the dem
onstration that has been given the
farmers of st. Tammany parish in
the economical growing Of crops,
have greatly improved the agricul-
tural outlook of the parish. The
corn yield, especially, has been great
ly increased per acre, and not only
quantity but quality has been i'm
proved. There will no doubt be
many visitors to this demonstration.
In order to show what training
will do as a help to efficiency and
comfort in domestic affairs, the po-
lice jury will be invited to dinner
prepared by the mombers of the
girls clubs. In appreciation of the
fact that the police jury has con-
tributed to the maintenance of dem
onstration work, it is probable that
this dinner will be one of the most
appetizing that has fallen to the lot
of these good citizens.

caused the woman to be suspicious
and the houses were examined, with
the result that two sacks soaked in
coal oil were found lying against
the doors. Mr.. Schultz has a sus-
picion as to who one of the negroes
is. One was described as dark and
the other bright negro. A search
will be made to locate the men. In
the meantime sharp lookout will
be kept to see that the contemplated
act is not carried out. It these
housese had been set afire the whole
neigh borhood would have been prac-
|tically wiped out.

Life went on pretty smoothly for
some months, until my mistress be-
came careless and left me lying ON the
ground all night. Of course | was at
once taken sick. | am too delicate a
creature to stand rough treatment.
The ~cat-doctor pronounced it a bad
case of pneumonia. He gave LARGE
doses Of catnip tea, and it was weeks
before / recovered.
One day just after I got up my mis-
tress took a notion that a boat ride
would do me good. l had never been
fond of water, and since the Titanic
disaster, / dreaded ever to go near it.
In vain | struggled to get away; my
mistress forced me into the boat. /
was still protesting with all my might.
when | freed myself from her arms
and fell into the water. | am asham-
ed to have to say it, but its the truth.
that had it not been for one of those
hateful ours l should have been drown
ed. AS it was, he jumped in and res
cued me. Thus ended my eighth life.
Since then | have avoided all excite
ment and am carefully boarding nv
days.
Life has been going along verv
pleasantly. The only thing that trou-
bles my peaceful existence is the war
in the Fatherland. | am hoping that
the beginning of the New Year will
end the strife there. If it does. and
| am still alive, | am sure | shall be
the happiest cat in the whole two con-
tinents.
