Permanent

Postmaster ]. P. Trosclair has re-
ceived letter from Senator Gay that
on July 80 his name was confirmed
by the United States senate as post

As the postoffice here was some
time back placed under the regulation

Trosclair had stood the civil service
examination. He will hold office
permanently.

master in March, 1915, and despite
the conditions existing during the past
two years, has given the people of

NEGRO KILLS WIFE
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Athanas Simien, negro, last Sunday
killed his wife near Potts Cove in the
western part of the parish and after
wards laid down beside her dead body
and attempted to take his own life.
Simien has lately been working in
Texas and Sunday tried to get his wife
to come and live with him after a
separation of year. The woman re-
fused and Simien is reported to have
said that he would rather be dead
than to be separated from her He
attacked her with knife and almost
severed the head from her body.
Simien is now in the parish jail
and it is very probable that he will re-
cover from his self-inflicted wounds.
A son of the couple received several
slight knife wounds while he was try
ing to protect his mother.
Seven children are left motherless
by the woman's death.

STAFFORD, MOUTON
PUFF PIPE OF PEACE
Friends Meet, Lie withdrawn End
Trouble Adjusted Without
Duel

There will be no coffee and pis-
! tolls for two" in the Stafford Mouton
episode, according to the New Or
! leans States.
It is all over, and following day
of negotiations between seconds"
and committees representing the pres
ident pro tenn and the lieutenant gov
ernor, the two belligerents met in The
office of Senator E. M. Stafford in the
Hennen Building, at II o'clock Tues
day night, shook hands and made
friends.
Both are said to have expressed re-
gret tina tthe Jeanerette incident
should have occurred and were glad
of the friendly adjustment. Don"
and Jared" and their Breazeale
luncheon, are said to have had moth
ing particular on "Dred" and "Ferd"
in the few minutes conversation that
followed the meeting.
The story was told officially, when
the following statement was given out
by Senator Stafford, Wednesday morn
ing:
Committee of friends of Governor
Mouton and Senator Stafford met in
Senator Stafford's office on Tuesday
night, and the differences between
these two gentlemen were amicable
settled
Mr.. Stafford said there was nothing
to add to tn estatement
ut covers al that we care to give
out" he said.
Senator Stafford was authorized to
give out the statement" said Lieut..
Gov. Mouton, when seen at the Cos
mopolitan. Il have nothing to add
to it. My friends are perfectly salts
fled"
Names of the "Committeemen"
were not made public. Two friends of
Mr. Stafford are said to have acted
for him one of whom brought about
the original negotiations leading to
the adjustment.
Friends of the two candidates for
governor say they acted in an effort
to prevent a clash, which it is al |
legged came near materializing Satur
day afternoon. This story was gossip
about the hotels, Wednesday.
Lieut. Gov Mouton met Gov. Pleas
ant upon his return from Winnipeg !
and turned back the reigns of state
government, thereby ceasing to be
acting governor Shortly after that
he was in the business section above
Canal and was passing the Hennen
building when he spied Sen. Stafford +
and two friends, one of them bigger
than Jess Willard, quoted friend.
Mr.. Mouton, according to the story,
brushed through the entrance OF the
building, and passed the Stafford
party. The New Orleans senator re-
moved his glasses, it is said, possibly
the "Jeanerette insult" was
to be avenged.
The lieutenant governor, according
to friends, turned about and faced
the President Pro Tenn when lady
friends Of the Orleans group, for
whom they had been waiting appear
ed and broke up the encounter.
Stepping into the elevator, as the
only easy exit, the tender said to the
lieutenant governor:
Floor, please"
AS high as you go'
He took him to the tenth floor. end
of the. line.
Take me down"
Following this incident, mutual
friends started the negotiations Mon
lay, which extended through Tues
lay.
Gov. Mouton remained in the city
Wednesday. His little daughter is
mere with him. Representative Numa
