Amite, La, Apr. 27....Dave Swer-
niger. alleged bad man, and two
friends. all charged with selling
whiskey, made their escape from
the parish prison last night. Swer-

the trio.
The three men gained their way
to liberty by saving the bars of
their cells and then picking the
bricks from the walls of the prison.
They then lowered themselves to
the ground by means Of blankets
tied together. Sweringer has been
arrested twice in the past two years

each time he has gained his freedom
from the prison by saving out.
Night Waterman Bankston was on

fected their escape.

Rouge, Monday, May s, for 60 days.
Proeressives at the general cleo
ton, April Is, elected twelve men,
bers to the Senate, out of the total
of 118 in the lower and Al in the
upper chamber The Proeressives
defeated Democratic nominees for
the House in Assumption, Lafourche
Iberia, ST. Mary and one in Vermil-
ion where they divided the result,
sending one Democrat and one
Progressive. In Terrehone they
were unopposed. In lberville, J.
Howell Pu6h, and in Pointe Coupee,
ChaS. A. Smith, both nominated in
the Democratic primary, turned to
the support Of John NJ Parker in
the general election, If they be
counted as ProSreSsives, the Bull
Moose will number ii in the House.
With twelve or fourteen votes,
the ProgreSSiyeS may be able to
make themselves forceful in case of
close fractional battles among Demo-
Gratis. on the floor Of the House.
These could hold the balance of
power. They might do SO in case
of a close race for speaker.

All Of these buildings are painted
on the outside, well lighted and
built according to approved plans
and specifications for a modern up
to date school building.
At a well attended meeting of the
patrons of the Faliah School on last
Saturday evening it was unani-
mouslv agreed that a Broom build
Ing be constructed at once, taking
the place of the Broom school which
they have been using for the last
few years. The patrons of this
community are to be congratulated
upon the interest taken in this mat
ter, and for the business-like way in

being held at Lakewood Theatre, a
delightful rural location which in
1878 was designated as the grounds
of W. D. Hayden. In that year or
thereabouts, Mr.. Hayden whose faith

what is now Madison Center, fitted
up the territory near the Lake for
the accommodation of parties desir-

and pickerel. and by the way the
pond was then uoted as being the
finest sheet of water to be found in
Maine Mr.. Hayden built a road
from his house to the pond, cleared
up a grove and built cohwder house
there, while he placed upon the lake
pleasure boats for the use of fishing
parties. Today the Grangers are
finding those surroundings vastly
different. Transportation is now af-
forded by trolley instead of trayers-
