Three Automobile
Accidents Occur
In the Past Week
j. ]. Dollenbach Collides with
Buggy in Which Are Three
Men; One Badly Injured
w. P. ELLIOTT HIT
j. Alfred JOhnson's Car COllides
with Horse Owned by Har-
ry Simondet

An accident which might
easily have been fatal to one or
more persons and which may
even yet result in the death Of
at least one, occurred about two
miles east of town, near the
Frank Scoates home last Friday
evening at nearly ten O'Clock.
The details Of the accident are
not definitely known but as near
ly as can be learned J. J. Dol
lenbach of Morton, driving a
Hudson Six, ran into a buggy
ir which were the three Camp
bell Brothers from the Indian
agency. The collision complete
ly demolished the buggy, in
jured one Of it's occupants SO Sc
verely that his recovery is a
matter of doubt, and broke the
lamps of the car which then ran
into the new gravel farther on
in the road and finally turned
completely over, smashing one
wheel, the steering gear end 9th
erwise damaging the car.
Whether there was more than
one occupant Of the car has not
been ascertained although there
are rumors that there were three
men in the car when it left Red
wood Falls. It is evident that
effort was made to avoid pub
F! licity and the accident is still
rather obscured by the clouds of
mystery.
+. Alfred Johnson had the
misfortune to collide with a
horse belonging to Harry Sim
ondet last Friday afternoon and
the animal was so badly injured
5scchssu it was found necessary to
kill it. Mr.. Simondet was re-
turning to his home with the
horse tied behind his rig anu
when Mr.. Johnson passed the
horse and car became badly en-
tangled. The car was somewhat
damaged by the collisions. Nj
Johnson and Mr.. Simondet have
settled the cost of car damages
and the loss of the horse.
w. P. Elliott escaped serious
injury last Thursday when ar
automobile ran into him as he
was crossing the street neal
Japs garage. Mr.. Elliott YVES
knocked down, badly bruised an
his face scratched but did moi
receive serious hurt. Two cars
were coming from opposite di
rections at the time the collision
occurred and apparently the &C
cident was unavoidable.

E. L. LOEB WILL ATTEND
MAYORS CONVENTION
Opelousas Will Be Represent
ed at Alexandria Com
ton of Mayors

The city council at its last
meeting, made an appropria-
ton to defray the expenses Of
Mayor Edward L. Loeb to the
first annual convention Of Lou
isiana mayors, which will take
place at Alexandria during the
latter part Of the week.
Mayor Loeb, like the vast
majority of the presiding Of
ficers of the Louisiana towns
and cities, is Of the opinion
that much good can be derived
from he annual gathering of
the mawors of the state. At
hese conventions the various
obstacles met by the mayors
of Louisiana can be talked of
and in many instances NUM-
cipal mysteries could be
solved.
It is thought that nearly
every town in the state will be
represented at the Alexandria
meeting and the organization
will be formed so as to be a
ornament affair and the con-
ventions will take place an
nually.

RICE HARVESTING rs
BEGUN IN ST. LANDRY
Crop Is Not AS Good AS Ex-
pected in Early Part of
The Season

Rice harvesting has started
in st. Landry, several planters
starting with sickles last week.
Within the next few days prac-
tically all of the first rice will
be cut and ready for threshing.
The rice crop in this parish,
considered excellent in the
early part of the season, will
not come up to the general ex-
pectation, according to reports
received here from some of
the best posted rice farmers
in st. Landry.
Although the crop will not
come up to the expectation,
due too the north winds, which
blew the enthusiasm and vim
out of the farmer in this Sec
ton during the middle Of July,
Z is expected that it will show
up to advantage over previous
rice crops.
With prospects of good
prices for rice the farmers
have set to work harvesting
their crop, with a feeling Of
fond expectancy.

VOLUNTEER FIREMEN
ENJOY DUCTH TREAT
Fire Fighters Set Themselves
Up to A Good Time at
Hook & Ladder Hall

The Opelousas fire boys do
not believe in belonging to the
volunteer fire company for the
purpose of fighting fires alone;
they think that they should
have a little frolic once in a
while and consequently a
committee was appointed to
arrange for a ducth treat that
was given at Hope, Hook &
Ladder hall, on last Tuesday
night.
Chief Hollier and Chef Du-
rio hustled about Tuesday and
ranged everything so that
the fire boys could have a real
enjoyable time, when they
would come for the regular
meeting, Tuesday night.
The firemen are raising mon
ey to defray the expenses of
the delegates from here to the
annual convention in New Or
leans on Aug. .20-21-22. Be-
sides the regular delegates it
is expected that a large num-
Der of members from Opelou-
sas will take in the New Or

for Ford Starters for Three
Southern States

A distinct novelty and very
successful contrivance in the
shape of a starter for Ford
automobiles was shown in ac-
ton on several Ford cars dur
ing the week by E. K. East
ham. This starter called the
Stull is mechanical in design
and from the demonstration
made appears to be both sim
pie, efficient and sure in oper-
alton.
Mr.. Eastman on his recent
trip East secured the distribut-
ing agency for the starter for
the states of Louisiana, Mis-
slppl and Texas and plans TO
make his main Office here.
There are some two hundred
Ford cars in this parish alone.
which will give some idea of
the market for the starter. If
Its successful demonstration i
a fair index.
It is understood that Borde-
IONS Garage will handle and
install the starters locally.

Plumber Afirms Rumor that

David Hollier, one Of the jo-
vial and lively voters Of the
fourth city ward, will be q cam
didate for member of the city
council from his ward, at the
election in January; he has af-
frmed the rumor Of his candi-
dacy.
Mr.. Hollier is we'll known as
an efficient plumber and a hus-
Ting citizen; he is active in
all progressive moves and is at
head of the Opelousas vol
teer fire company.
It has also been rumofed
that Jesse P. Barnett, we'll
known local cotton buyer,
would be a candidate for the
honors sought by Mr.. Hollier.
Friends of Mr.. Barnett say
most positively that he will
make the race.
Politics in the three other
wards is very quiet. It is not
thought that the three present
aldermen will be opposed and
it is very likely that the nuni-
cipal political fight will be
rather tame.

GOOD HIGHWAYS To
BRING FARMERS HERE
Opelousas Will Get Its Share
of Country Trade
This Fall
MORE MODEL ROADS
DEEMED NECESSARY
Gravel Roads Built by Parish
Prove Splendid Investment
And Farmers Are Satisfied
Y With Them 8

The several miles of model
roads constructed in this par.
ish during the. past year and a
half are proving a source OF
great satisfaction, not only to
the autoist, but to the farmers
who have to travel several
miles in order to transact their
business here.
The business people Of this
city figure that Opelousas will
get more country business than
any year since the parish was
divided. The entire western
section, for several miles from
Opelousas, will come here to
do their trading, while the
same may be said Of the north,
the south and the east,
The opposition to good roads
in this parish, which was ap-
parent last year, seems to have
disappeared, and it is evident
that more model roads will be
erected in St. Landry during
the next few years. Good
roads are one of the greatest
assets Of any community, as
can be judged right here in
Opelousas.
y A few years ago it will be
remembered that the farmers
dreaded to come to Opelousas,
because they were compelled
on account Of the terrible con-
dition Of the streets, to hitch
heir teams on the outskirts of
the city, which were reached
through the hardest, due to the
bad roads in the country, and
walk to the business section,
in order to transact their busi-
ness. This is not the case now.
One can ride from here to Sun
set, Lawtell, Washington and
Port Barre, without going into
one inch of mud. There is no
danger of begging and the far
mers are coming to town this
Fall to do all their trading,
shopping and marketing.
1t has been rumored that a
boom has been started for the
erection of a model road be-
tween this city and the Evan
geline parish line at DeBail-
lions bridge, near Andrepont,
and only a few miles from
Vile Platte. 1t is expected
that when St. Landry takes up
the question of making good
roads out of the Opelousas-
Vile Platte highway Evange-
line will do it's share to finish
up the good work where. this
parish will leave off.

OFFICIALS CLEANING
WEST LANDRY STREET
Mayor Loeb and Policemen
Bent Upon Running I'm
desirables Out Of Town

The city officials are bent
upon making that section of
West Landry street, which has
been obnoxious to the white
people who pass along that
street, as good as any portion
of the city, where negroes
transact most of their business.
Last week three notorious
restaurant keepers were ar
rested and fined $50 and fif-
teen days in jail, for operating
houses of i'll fame.
For the past two or three
years the city officials have
been endeavoring to clean that
street. Mayor Loeb, two years
ago, personally inspected the
places and had several of the
inmates fined and placed on
the streets. He has been meet
ing with some resistance, how
ever, in the enforcement of the
law, but is determined to
make West Landry's white
way a respectable place.
The white people who have
to pass along Landry street to
come to the business section of
the city have been complain
ing of existing conditions for
over two years and it is a
source Of qualification to them
to learn that they will, in some
measure, be considerably re-
lieved.
