New Iberia and perfected a real
estate deal, taking over the prop

Hotel and back Of the Elks The

could ascertain it is the intention
of the co-owners to remove the
dwelling to the opposite lot on
which it now stands, and erect in
the rear Of the Eureka Hotel a
large brick wholesale store with
warehouse of greater floor
space on the lot facing the Bayou
front. This corporation is con-
ducting a chain Of twelve branch
stores in different parishes along
the Teche and found our little
CITY an ideal location for one OF
their establishments. This will
make the fourth wholesale store
in New iberia. For several months
it had been reported deal OF
that kind was in contemplation,
and not until this week was it
finally consummated. This will

"A civil case of great interest
to the citizens Of Loreauville
came up for trial last Thursday
before Judge James Simon. IT
seems that on June I'd, the Board
of Aldermen Of the Village of
Loreauville adopted an ordinance
enlarging the corporate limits a
considerable distance, their main
object from what we could learn
was to take in the property Of the
New iberia & Northern Railroad.
Mr.. Louis Champeau and three
other residents in the newly ac-
uuired district, took an appeal to
the District Court in order to
have the ordinance annulled.
They were represented in he
Court 'bv Mr.. Emile Vuillemot
while the defendant, the Village
Of Loreauville' s side Of the con-
troversy was looked after by Mr..
Edwin S. Broussard. One of the
main contentious of the plaintiff
was that thev would be burdened
with increased taxation. and that
the municipality would not derive
sufficient funds to afford them po-
lice protection and other advant-
ages that thev would be entitled
to were the territory added to the
citv limits. Mayor Smoke, the
main witness for the defendant
corporation, testified that since
prohibition had gone into effect
I the police force had been dis
charged, and it was useless now
to have an officer in Loreauville.
Not a single misdemeanor had
hnen committed. and that the
people of Loreauville were law
abiding and there was no need of
anv more police protection. 1t
will be several davs before a de-
cision is handed down by His
Honor. Judre Simon.

late James l.. Burke, born Sept.

at his home on Julia Street in this
City on Monday, November 18th
1919 at 1870 o'clock p. M. Mr.
Burke. due to his illness for sew
eral years was confined to his
home. and was unable to live that
active life which was characteris-
tic Of him in previous years. He
| always labored for the up-build-
ing of the community and Parish,
taking a prominent part in every
movement which had this end III
view. A man Of superior intel
lect, possessing a sense of justice,
he was always ready to lend Il
helping hand and to see that JUS
tice was done whenever he thought
he should lend a hand.
For several years. during his
early manhood, he served as as
sistant postmaster during the ad
ministration of the late Mrs. V. P.
Guilfoux, and later under Mr..
Robert Brantly. A few years
thereafter he accepted the re-
sponsible position as deputy Col
iector of Customs at New Orleans,

fidelity. Mr.. Burke when his
term expired removed to the State
of Texas where he resided for a
number of years. Coming back
to Louisiana later, he located at
Crowley and engaged in the in
surance business. Answering the
natural inclinations of an ardent
Iberian. he then returned to his
home town.
On his return he was appointed
secretary of the Police Jury Of
the Parish and filed this position
very creditably and to the salts
faction Of the people.
