Caught In Act

Might Marshal Eddie Jones and
Tony Gabriel did some good detec-
tive work, Tuesday, that resulted In
the capture of man said to be a
deputy sheriff of st. Helena parish,
named Clarence Burton, in the act
of giving osldier in uniform whisky.
The man had been watched. and
when he took the soldier in the toilet
of the Warren Saloon, taking his
grip with him, Marshal Jones push
ed the door open and entered. The
soldier was in the act of drinking,
quickly dropped the bottle in the
toilet, from which it was afterward
recovered. The label showed it
came from Baton Rouge.
Burton was taken to the parish
Jail and searched. He made a hard
fight, tearing Mr.. Jones' clothing in
an attempt to take his gun from him.
Burton was fighting drunk. He told
Marshal Jones that he would kill
him before the next night. He was
taken to New Orleans and turned
over to Federal authorities by De-
tective Wood of the Secret Service:
The soldiers name was Homer Tracy.
from Camp Beauregard.

Council of Defense Tenders
Funds for Civilian and
Home Service Relief
F. F. WIGGINTON
MADE SECRETARY
Slidell Branch Red Cross
Reorganized and Meet
ing Called Thursday.

Slidell, Aug 24.-At a business
meeting OF the Sildell Council of De-
tense, held Thursday evening, sever
al important matters were consid-
cred.
1t was decided to make a tender
of funds now on hand for Home Ser
vice and Civilian Relief to the Local
Branch American Red Cross, to be
administered by them. A committee
is also to be appointed to investigate
local conditions, that the Council Of
Defense may be fully informed in
regard to any slackers, now regis
trants, evaders or others who are
not doing their full duty, and cases
will be handled promptly and de-
cisivly as may develop.
Owing to pressure OF business, MT.
G. A. Bailey resigned as secretary
and F. F. Wigginton elected. All
citizens are requested to lend their
cooperation that the Council of De-
tense may continue to be an effec-
tive body, in which our community
may feel confidence and which Will
uphold in every way possible all laws
enacted for war welfare and cOmmu-
nifty interests.
The Slidell Branch st. Tammany
Chapter of American Red Cross is
now thoroughly reorganized and a
general meeting is called for August
.29th at the Slidell high school audi
torium, when it is expected definite
information will be had as to the
new distribution of finances for our
Branch, and the amount available
for all purposes will probably be
known at this time.
The investigation of the trouble
which developed last Sunday proved
that, while the town and people OF
Slidell were not at fault, it is the
opinion of the officers who investi-
gated that the trouble was caused by
unruly characters, who, themselves,
declared that they were deservedly
hurt, and in the future there will be
assigned sufficient Military Police
and commissioned officers here to
take charge of any trouble which
may arise. This arrangement hav-
ing been made thorugh the Honor
able Mayor, who greatly deplores the
incidents of last Sunday, but feels
assured with this arrangement, as
stated, no further trouble OF this
nature will occur in the future.

War Savings Stamp
Committee To
Push Sales

The National War Savings Com
mittee has inaugurated sale OF war
Savings Stamps to begin immediate
ly and to end September 18th, to
show honor to General Pershing and
the boys who are overseas. Every
resident of the State is asked to snow
their appreciation of the work OF
General Pershing and the boys over
there" by buying War Savings
Stamps, these stamps being included
in those pledged during the June
campaign.
The boys are pushing ahead over
seas. The stay-at-home army Is ex-
pected to push ahead over here, ana
Louisiana will show her loyalty to
her fighting troops by purchasing
War Savings Stamps between now
and September 18th. .
On Sunday, September I, every
clergyman in the State OF Louisiana
has been asked to preach on the VIC
tories of the boys, and louisiana s
duty to them; or to say prayer LOT
the boys and incorporate in that the
duties of the stay-at-home army.
All banks, merchants, and post
Offices in the State have been asked
to have on sale full supply OF the
Stamps
September 18th is General Per-
shing's birthday, and ii sales OF
Stamps are large enough, a cable
will be sent to the General telling
him that these sales were in his hon
or and in the honor Of the Louisiana
men in France.
Louisiana wants to match up TO
the record of her boys and the other
American boys who are fighting In
the trenches Everyone in Loulsl-
ana is on tiptoes for the boys "over
/, there and as they cannot help ex-
cept in a financial way, 1t is an as
sured fact that everyone will BUY
War Savings Stamps.
War Savings Stamps are supposed
to represent money saved through
sacrifice. What better way is there
Tor those at home to show the boys
how we stand?

Motor Line Sold To
St. Louis Firm
for $4,000

The motor line was bought. last
Saturday at public sale by the Walter
Zelnicker Co., of St. Louis, Mo-. for
$86,9OO.OO.
1t is said that this company would
gladly put the line into Madisonville
il the people would become interest
ed in such a proposition. 1t was
generally considered unfortunate
that the line should be lost to this
community after having paid so
much taxes to maintain it, and it may
be that such a proposition will be
taken up if it is put in concrete shape
and presented.
