HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID
--------- FOR MILLING RICE
Was Received by R. F. Weichert and
Associates for Lot of Early
Prolific.

y Wednesday R. F. Weichert and
associates sold to the Louisiana State
Rice Milling Co. through the South
em Rice Growers association 5000
bags of Early Prolific at $6.75 per
barrel.
Mr.. Weichetr can look to this
transaction with a great deal of
pride as this constitutes the highest
price ever paid in Southwest sLouis-
lana for milling rice.
While it is claimed by the buyers
that Welsh has maintained the high
es' ?alues on. all grades, yet it is
plain to be seen that the association
tables are destitute of rice at the
close of business each day.
1t is admitted that the milling
qualities Of the rice produced at
Welsh and attribute points is SUI
perior to the average run Of rice.
This will prove that Welsh can
easily maintain its supremacy as a
market center without a struggle.

MARSHAL ESTES
MUT|LATED BY
BLACK F|END
Posse Headed by Sheriff
SCourS the Woods :,

As the Journal goes to press
a posse headed by Sheriff Isaac
Fontenot and chief deputy Martin
Andrus are securing the woods
west of Welsh in search of a
a negro by the name of Alec
Figueron who resisted arrest,
emptied his "A and finally struck
Marshal R. A. Estes over the
head with a gun. (The chase
was effective as evidenced by the
fact that within thirty minutes
from the time the chase started
the negro was on the way to Jail
in the sheriff's charge and al
though on intense feeling exists
it is probable that he will land in
jail.)
The trouble started when Mr..
Estes asked the negro, who was
cutting grass in A. C. Moore's
yard, to assist him in turning
over a small bridge. The negro
refused, saying: ITO He'll With
You" adding a threat to cut the
Marshal with his scythe. Estes
had left his his gun and club in
his car at the garage and when
he started after them the negro
broke and run to the quarters
where he secured a gun and
when Estes arrived proceeded to
give battle from within his house.
When their ammunition played
Estes rushed the negro within the
house, and while in a hand-to-
hand conflict two negro women
attacked him from the rear in
ficting several flesh wounds on
his head and face and hand.
A posse soon was on the chase
locating the quarry in a clump
of bushes west of town. When
taken he was armed with a shot
gun and a Colts. He showed no
desire to fight when covered.
Marshal Estes wounds are not
considered serious.
