term Of enlistment in the navy. His
wife, who was formerly Miss Evelyn

LOCAL CADETS WIN DRILL.
Reserve High School Company De-
feated in Interesting Contest.

The long anticipated competitive
drill between the Donaldsonville High
School cadets and the company from
the Reserve High School was held at
the local fair grounds Sunday after
noon in the presence of a small but
patriotic and enthusiastic crowd of
spectators. The coatest was Judged
by DR.. Wirth Of Lafourche parish,
who formerly was an officer in the
regular army service, assisted by
Sergeant E. Z. Sims, of Camp Beau
regard.
The result was a decisive victory
for the home company, who in a
strictly military sense greatly out
classed the visitors in every point of
the game. At the close of the con-
test the trophy of victory, handsome
silver loving cup, was presented to
the winning company in brief and
stirring address by Mayor E. K. Sims.
The Reserve company were not uni
formed and were equipped only with
wooden guns, all of, which was in
strong contrast with the local cadets,
who, in their regulation khaki uni
forms, armed with U. S. Army rifles,
and headed by fife and drum corps,
presented a most soldierly and mill
tary appearance.
It had been agreed beforehand,
however, that equipment should not
be considered by the judges; hence
the victory Of the home boys was all
the more clean-cut and decisive.
The field movements and manual
of arms executed by each company
was varied with series of setting-up
and rife exercises, which added great
ly to the pleasure and interest of the
spectators. The climax Of the drill
was reached when the local cadets
fired two rousing volleys from their
rifles with blank cartridges.
The home company was command
ed by Cadet Captain Wilfred Bin
nings, to whose intelligent and I'M
firing efforts much of the credit is
due for the marked efficiency of the
company. The visitors were under
command of Parish Superintendent
L. F.. Laurent, Of ST. John the Baptist,
a former cadet of the Louisiana State
University.
Flushed with their victory, the D.
H. S. cadets have issued an open
challenge to meet any high school
company in the state at the annual
rally which will be held this year in
Baton Rouge the last days of April.
This challenge includes such pre-
paratory schools as Rugby, Dyer's and
Jefferson College.
After the holidays extended order
drill will be taken up by the cadets,
so that by the date of the next con-
test a much fuller and more varied
program will be possible.

TRAGIC DEATH OF AGED LADY.
Mrs. ]. ]. Claverie Fatally Injured
When Struck by Automobile.

A most deplorable accident oc-
Cured in Donaldsonville at about 4
o'clock last Monday afternoon, when
Mrs. J. J. Claverie, aged rs years,
was run down by an automobile
driven by Miss Mildred Corbo, II
years of age, of Brusley Sacramento,
and suffered injuries which resulted
in her death twenty minutes later.
The accident occurred in Railroad
avenue at the intersection of Clai-
borne street, and eye-witnesses assert
that the young woman who was driv-
ing the automobile was in no way to
blame
Mrs Claverie, who resided at Bar
ton with her son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Wilson, had come
to Donaldsonville for Christmas eve
visit to relatives, and after calling on
friends residing at the corner where
the accident occurred, was in the act
of crossing Railroad avenue and had
proceeded several feet from the curb
when for some reason she turned
around and started back toward the
sidewalk
The car driven by Miss Corbo was
proceeding up Railroad avenue from
the direction of the Texas & Pacific
passenger station, and had turned in
close to the curb to pass behind Mrs.
Claverie, when the aged woman sud-
denly turned around and stepped i'm
mediately in front of the machine.
She was thrown to the street pave
ment with great force and dragged
several feet. The wheels of. the car
did not pass over her body, but it be-
came wedged under the front axle and
some effort was required to extricate
the PROSTATE form.
A physician residing nearby was
summoned and responded immediate
ly, but the victim of the accident pass
ed away in few minutes.
Mrs. Claverie was formerly Miss
Sophronie Blanchard, and was ma
tive and lifelong resident of this city.
Her husband, the late DR.. J. J. Claw
erie, was a former prominent physl-
clan and banker of Donaldsonville,
and was widely known throughout
this section of the state. A woman of
culture and refinement, endowed with
admirable qualities Of mind and heart,
Mrs. Claverie personified the highest
type of christian matron and in every
detail of life measured up to the most
exalted conceptions of honor and in
tegrity The world is the better and
purer for her having lived in it, and
her memory will ever be fondly cher
ished in the hearts Of all who knew
her. The unfeigned sorrow caused
by her demise is tribute to her
worth more feeling than any mere
words of eulogy could possibly ex-
press.
Besides her daughter, Mrs. Wilson,
one son, DR.. Arthur Claverie, Of
Baltimore, and two brothers, P. Leo
Blanchard and J. J. Lafargue, of this
city, survive.
The funeral took place from the
residence of Mr.. Blanchard at a
pm Tuesday, with services and inter-
ment in the Catholic church and
cemetery. A throng of mourners ac-
companied the remains of the lament
ed lady to their last resting place,
laying aside for the moment the festal
spirit of Christmas to gather around
the bier of their departed friend and
pay to her memory the final tribute Of
respect accorded by mortals to those
who have solved the great MYSTERY.
