which had been left unfastea and
the articles stolen consisted of two
sacks Of grits, one sack of seed
beans, and Navigation jug Of Whis-
key. Deputy Sheriff Ed. Smith, who
resides at Gonzales, commenced
working on the case as soon as the
robbery was reported, and as the re-
suit OF his investigation clues were
uncovered which led him to suspect
Brown and James as the guilty par

&. G.. Hanson, who, accompanied by
Chief of Police Robert Dill of DON
proceeded to Gonzales
and with Deputy Smiths assistance
placed the two suspects under ar
rest.
After the men had been taken in
to custody at their respective homes.
a careful search was made of
Browns house and premises, result
ing In the finding of one of the
sacks of grits in the loft of the
dwelling, and of most of the pilfer-

The jug of Whiskey was found in

There being no Jail at Gonzales,
the officers were compelled to stand
guard over their prisoners all night,
the men being confined in separate
rooms at the residence of Deputy
Smith Early Tuesday morning James
broke down and confessed his share
in the crime, and shortly afterWard
Brown also made clean breast of
the entire matter. The latter has
been mixed up in several shady
transactions and has an unenTiabf1
reputation, which was one reason
why Deputy Smith was led to Ssus-
peet him of being implicated in the
depot robbery. James has been EN-
ployed as a field hand.

Sells Another Ford.

X. A. Aucoin, the Wide-awake pro
prietor of the DonaIdsonVille Garage
who is always on the job, added
another Ford to the number of these
reliable cars he has disposed OF
when, on Thursday. he delivered a
new touring car to George Bourgeois.
Of st. Patrick, this being the third
Ford sold by him to Mr.. Bourgeois
during the past year. When it is
considered that the machines are
used in the livery business in the
Facherie section, over the ordinary
type Of country roads, it becomes
evident that they must stand up
undeE, the hard work required Of them
and be entirely satisfactory, other
wise Mr. Bourgeois would not have
invested in another one.
