On Friday night Of Last week
the lAettcmCyer estate suffered, the
81 loss by fire of their large barn,
stocked with grain which had been
stored in the barn for the use of
their stock. Had not Mr.. Fred
licttomeycr been on the place at
the time every head of stock ON
the plantation would also have
beeu burned TO death As If was
he managed TO open the stable IN
time TO save the stock. The flames
were first discovered in the loft aud
spread so rapidly that nothing
could be saved An alarm was
sent IN to Iberia No. I and they
managed to get there III time TO
save adjoining buildings by fhc
use Of their chemical apparatus
This auto fire truck has already
paid for itself since our City
Fathers brought il here TO replace
the service Of the two horses
in use before the purchase Of the
truck. The investment was n
I,good one and even those who had
reason to doubt the wisdom Of its
purchase are now loud in their
praise Of the uptodate fire equipt-
ment.
No. 666 will cure Chills and
Fever. 1T is the most speedy rem
edy we know.
The Board Of Reviewers (Po.
lice jury has been in session for
the past ten days adjusting the
assessments Of the property hold
ers Of the Parish. They have al
ready completed the rolls in tho
First. Second. Third. Fourth and
Fifth Wards with but few changes
in the assessments from what we
could learn. Those Of our citi-
zens whom they see fit to raise be
cause Of under assessment Will he
advised to come in and register
their object ong to the Board be
fore the rolls will be sent TO the
Auditor at BatOn Rouge. Al
most daily numerous property
holders from different sections Of
their Parish made their appear
auce in person, but so far we have
heard no one complain that their
assessments were not what it
should be. It will be several
ldays yet before their duties are
concluded after which Assessor
Fremin will forward them to Ba-
ton Rouge for their acceptance.
On Thursday afternoon Judge
Power again imposed fine Of
$4,000 upon liquor dealer for
violation Of the Sunday law. the
infraction occurring on Sunday
last when liquor was dispensed
contrary to the, State law. It is
hard to conceive how some Of our
dealers persist in violating this
law when on numerous occ asions,
both Judge Power and his predc-
cessor Judge Nuckolls imposed rs
much as a 100000 fine on the
guilty ones brought before the CITY
Court. Upon interviewing His
Honor after the trial Of the case
Of Thursday, he made it clear to
liz that he intends to enforce this
law ~ well as the Gay Shattuck
law whenever charges are made |
by the officials which result in |
convictions before his Court, OF
course it is not his intention TO do
police duties as many citizens be
lieve, and in this he ii correct
This duty falls solely Upon the po-
lice officials who are paid TO per-
form this function Of the Court
and then it remains for the parties
accused to be proven guilty and
when the evidence shows their
guilt is the time when the Court
will carry out the mandates of the
law The fact that dispenser Of
liquor is confronted with fines
and probably imprisonment when
selling liquor on Sunday should
IF itself make them hue TO the
inc as regards the Sunday law,
1ut oftentimes it is disregarded in
his City irrespective Of the fatal
consequences. The case was APP
,ealed TO the District Court for
nal decision.
