St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-07-22

The records of the Board of
Control show that Hilarie Car
riere was received from ST.
Landry parish, March IL.
1911, under a five year SEN
tence.
He escaped January IL,
1912, and was recaptured on
April 4, 1912. After being
brought back to the penitenti-
ary Carriere served out his
term, which ended on May "a,
1915. He came back to st.
Landry swearing vengeance
against a certain negro, who
had made his way to Texas
going into Texas in search of
his prey and failing he return
ed to Louisiana, landing at
Jennings, where he killed a
negro during the winter. He
was lodged in the Jefferson
Davis parish jail, where he
remained several months,
awaiting trial; a few days be
fore his case was to appear
he broke jail and made his es-
cape into st. Landry parish,
locating among his relatives,
at his old home, in the Pot
Cove section. He was not
there very long before he shot
and killed a negro by the name
of Durousseau; after that he
began to terrorize that sec
ton of st. Landry. threatening
several persons with their
lives if they should reveal his
whereabouts. He had planned
to murder Allen Mccoy,
Aide Lafieur, DR.. Russell Cha
chere, Ben Verret, and several
others, whom he suspected as
being liable to notify the au-
thorities of his whereabouts.
So frightened were the citizens
of that particular section of
the parish that appeals from
every direction began pour
ing in on the sheriff for his
arrest.
On Sunday night Durous-
seau and Bruno St. Andre
rushed ~to Opelousos and in
formed the sheriff that they
had located Carriere. Sheriff
Swords readily consented to
go out after the fugitive, be-
ing confident that Carriere
would surrender as soon as he
would be confronted with the
end of a rife. Being so com
| fdent that he could arrest the
murderer without any diff
Guilty Sheriff Swords did not
take any one with him except
| his office deputy, Charles
| Chachere.
Mr.. Swords had befriended
Ithe criminal on several occa-
sions and on a particular oc-
casion allowed Carriere, after
having been sentenced to the
penitentiary to go to Mallet
to witness the burial Of his
child. Carriere had said thai
/ he would alWoys befriend the
sheriff on that account. It is
said that Carriere took Sheriff
Swords for DIR. Russell Cha,
chere, and in fact one party
who claims to have seen ths
/ criminal after the terrible
tragedy, stated that Carriers
had told him that hae
/ he know it was Sheriff Sword
he would not have fired o.
] him.

HIGH CLASS live
STOCK in MAUI
MAKES FINE SHOW
Horses Good, Cattle Exception
al and Swine Exhibit is
Great Surprise

Livestock ranked close with agron-
omy in the leading exhibits that the
fair committee brought within the
high-boarded enclosure that was trans
formed from a baseball park into q
fair ground for a first County Fair
In all respects 1t equaled anything
that had been expected and in some
excelled. This is especially so as to
the section that was devoted to swine.
Some magnificent horseflesh was
shown on Maui. Particularly Is this
the case with the lighter animals.
They attracted much admiration from
all lovers of horses. Middle weight
animals were more than fair, and
though fewer in number, there were
some excellent entries of heavy
draught animals and some fine mules
were also shown.
Cattle shown were more than good
and were in variety as well as OF
high quality. There were dairy ami
mails and beef and some high-blooded
imports were very much in evidence.
Swine Exhibits Surprise
The exhibit of swine was one of
the best among all entries. 1t would
rank up with the best in quality at
the large mainland state fairs. Much
of the stock was imported, but some
very good domestic raised stock was
shown.
Poultry was not great in quantity.
There were some fine game birds
shown, some really good Barred Rocks
and Rhode Island Reds and quite a
display of leghorns. Pigeons were In
variety. Among the ducks the Indian
Runner, Muscovy and Mammoth Pekin
made a good showing. There was an
exhibit of turkeys, the bronze variety,
pheasants, guinea hens and peacock
and hen.
Dogs were few in number, pointers
leading. Rabbits made an excellent
class. And a few cats were exhibited
as well.

HAIKU FARMERS
PUT UP EXHIBIT
QUITE THEIR own

In an artistic booth to itself in the
agronomy tent was the exhibit of the
Haiku homesteaders So artistic was
the booth in arrangement, so attrac-
tive was the display that even had it
not been for the big pumpkin, per-
haps the biggest ever seen in the
islands, it must have drawn immediate
attention.
+, The particular object of the Haiku
exhibit was to show what the white
homesteader is doing and can do. Not
all of the Haiku exhibits were there,
in fact most of the Irish potatoes were
Haiku-grown, but there was enough
to fill the booth and to win praise
from all sides. Its browning glory
and pride was the big pumpkin.
The Haiku booth as built was the
handiwork of E. B. Blanchard. He it
was who nailed up the Haiku.grown
sugar cane to the upright supports
and draped the long festoons of ro-
selle and grasses that went to give it
a distinctive appearance.
Luscious ripe strawberries, lemons,
lines and oranges, cucumbers, egg
plant, cabbageS and cauhfloWer, cotfee
berries, tobacco, wheat, rye, barley,
cane grown without irrigation,
squashes, pineapples were some of the
things that went to make up the DIS
play. And the wives of these intelli-
gent farmers had aided in making the
exhibit attractive There were jars
of roselle jelly, bottles Of roselle juice,
poha jam and poha preserves, pine
apple preserves, marmalades and jams
of various kinds that showed the lus-
cious products finished for the table.
The Haiku exhibit was feature
among features. The committee In
charge was E. B. Blanchard, James
Lindsay and Mrs. Anna Watson. but
there were many others who exhibit
ed and are entitled to much of the
credit which the display won. -.

FRAGRANT BLOOM
FILLS TWO.TENTS
ON FAIR GROUNDS

Two tents were needed to house the
beautiful floral exhibits that poured
into the fair grounds at Waikiki with
the opening of the Maui fair. One
was needed for the potted plants and
the other for the cut flowers. And
when all had been arranged there re-
sulteG two bowers of beauty and
fragrance.
While most Of the ported plants
were in place when the fair opened
the same was not the case with the
cut flowers since exhibitors waited
as long as possible that the blossoms
and leaves might have all their fresh
ness when put on display.
In khe tent devoted to 9otted
plants there were some very attrac-
tive displays. There were orchids and
roses and smaller blooms and one pot
that attracted much attention was a
large tub filled with Gala lily plants
in full bloom
In the cut flower tent there was an
almost endless variety and to see
sweet peas, callas. orchids and roses,
none het house grown, was revela-
ton to visitors from the mainland.
';aturally all of the exhibits were from
the Island of Maui.

maui PROMISES
TO Send Cement
T0OTHER ISLES

Cement as home product. Hawaii
tq supply its own building material.
These were promises held forth in the
exhibit of the Maui Agricultural Com
pany at the Maui fair. The further
promise was added that this cement
would be ready for the market about
May next
In these days when public and pri-
vate buildings are delayed by lack of
cement, by failure of arrivals from
the mainland the prospect of Maui
supplying cement to the other islands
wakes interest In the Maui Agri-
cultural Company exhibit this cement
was shown 1t is made of Is per cent
lava rock and 75 per cent pearl sand.
1t was said that a plant is in process
of erection, should be finished in
April and that soon after Naco cement
will be in the Honolulu market.
Above the samples of lava, sand,
cement in powdered and set form
were given figures as to the require
ments for Portland cement as set
forth by government statistics and
comparisons with the figures offered
by Maco cament in meeting such re-
quirements. In every instance and
on every test the Maui cement was
higher than requirements.

LECTURESPROVE
GOOD FEATURE IN
AGRONOMY tent
Talks BY Agricultural Experts
Are Interesting as Well as
Highly Instructive

The agronomy tent at the Maui fair
housed not only the many individual
exhibits but exhibits from the federal
experiment station at Honolulu, the
sugar planters experiment station at
Honolulu. and the extension division
of the federal station. which has head
quarters at Haiku. The division of hor-
ticulture at the federal station had a
splendid exhibit illustrating budding
and grating OF fruit trees, and these
processes were explained by ]. E.
Higgins at one of the short talks CIV
en- in the tent The division of agro-
nomy had an exhibit, an important
feature of. which, to Maui, was the flu
migating box The method of destroy
ing weevil infested grain by fumi-
eating in this box was explained by
c. A. Sshr of the station staff. Mr..
Sahr also spoke of grasses for Maui
The Territorial Marketing Division
had its exhibit of proper packages
for shipping produce, and A. T. Long
ley spoke on the relation of the divi-
sion to the farmer.
krauss Gives Demonstration
Perhaps the most notable feature of
the extension divisions exhibit was
the homegrown stock feed, both the
baled hays and the mixed feeds made
from legumes and homegrown corn.
F. G.. Krauss gave talk and demon
stration on feeding, slicing the root
crops with the machinery in Davies
tent, and feeding the mixed feeds to
hogs which he had there in a model
hog cot-the latter, in itself, very in
structive exhibit.
Other short talks in the agronomy
tent included an account of the &C
tivities of the territory in the control
of insect pests by D. T. Fullaway, and
of the new work now being undertake
en- at the federal station in the control
of plant diseases by c. w. Carpenter.
A partial list of the awards follows
Where a number is gwen instead of
a name it mesns that the exhibitor
tore off the stub containing his name
from the tag instead of leaving that
to be done at the tent. The fair Off
Gals do not yet know by whom these
