interesting clean sports derived from
this method of utilizing the winter

Monday evening in the Gymnasium,
this being the first of many games
to be PLAYED, with at least seven
men from each Troop participating
throughout the entire season, so any

CLEMENCY ASKED FOR
four MEN.
Rev. Roberts and Friends
Present Petition.

At Christmas time, the spirit of
the Master invades all hearts, and
the human mind looks for deeds OF
kindness to perform.
No doubt this is the underlying
cause that prompted the action OF a
number of citizens Friday morning.
On this occasion, the men who had
gone to Rev. Roberts he: - pro-
tect him, on the night an assault
was attempted, together with the
principal witnesses in the case IN the
City and District Courts, decided to
ask the Court to grant a suspension
of sentence for the four convicted
men, Messrs. Albert Landry, Edgar
Boutte, Tertulle and Edward Meyer.
Accordingly, a petition was drawn
up, and signed by these men, only
ten names being signed, but the con-
sent and accord of all interested be-
ing assured.
This petition was handed to the
District Attorney, Mr.. Vuillemot,
who delivered same to Hon. Judge
Power, with recommendation for the
suspension of sentence prayed for.
District Attorney Vuillemot, and
Judge Power had both approved the
petition at the hour of going to press
with The Iberian, and as the petition
| is to be presented to Hon. James
Simon Friday evening, with a GER
tainty of his also approving it, 1t IS
safe to say that the suspension OF
the balance of the sentence will be
granted.
It is the hope Of the men whose
names appear on the petition, that
the four men will be given their re-
lease in time to enjoy the Christmas
holidays at home with their respec-
tive families.
Nav every citizen. in the same
spirit. forgive and forget the miss.
step taken by these four citizens, anc
upon their release receive them AGAR
into the circle of friendship as though
nothing had ever happened to MAJ
the cordial good feelings that shoulc
exist between all the citizens of New
IBERIA.
The petition, together with the
names of the signers follows:
To the Honorable the Judge OF the
i CITY Court in and for the 9th Ware
of Iberia Parish, State OF La:

nizance of the application of Edgar

AMERICAN LEGION DANCE.

Iberia Post, No. 4, of the Amerl-
can Legion of New Iberia will hold
their BIG dance on Christmas Eve,
Saturday, December oath, instead on
the 23rd, as previously announced.
The dance. which is to be held i'll
the National Guard Armory on he
ria Street, promises to be one OF the
brilliant affairs of this season and
excellent music is provided.
The small sum of one dollar has
been fixed as the admission price,
and considering the attractions Of
the occasion, this is very small in
deed.
1t is hoped thai a large gathering
of pleasure seekers will be present to
make of the event a real Christmas
celebration.

CONTRACT LET To Re
BUILD BRIDGE.
Willard States Work win
Start January 1SI.

One by one the list of needed re
pairs in New Iberia is being short
ened. Just little patience, and
things will all be fixed up. and then
we will have nothing to complain a
bout
For a long time, whenever q
group Of citizens got to talking over
what "they ought to do, the city
bridge has come in for its share of
the grilling.
Take the bridge off of your list
The contract has been let for the
complete rebuilding Of this ctructure.
At a meeting Of the Board Of
Trustees, held on Tuesday OF this
week, the bid of Mr.. A Y. Willard
was accepted, and the contract form
ally awarded to him.
We understand that the specifica-
tions call for extensive alterations OF
the structure, along lines that will do
away with most Of the continual re-
pairing that has been required in the
past, as a great part of the board
flooring will be replaced by other
material.
The iron and steel work Of the
present bridge Will first be thoroughly
scraped to remove all rust and eX-
pose any weakened material, which
will be replaced by new. A coat Of
red lead and linseed oil will then be
applied, followed by finishing coat
of black graphite.
The under supports of the central
span are to be squared up and new
material added wherever needed.
An entire new plank floor of the
very best wood obtainable will be put
down for the central section that
turns, but there will be no planks on
the end approaches, nor on the one
that runs out Front Street along the
bayou.
Concrete retaining walls will be
erected in these places, and filled Gp
with dirt, and shells.
These changes in the plans of the
bridge will cost about one-third more
than to rebuild the bridge as it now
stands, but the Improvement will
more than pay for itself in the less
ened cost of maintenance.
New ratings will be installed
wherever needed, and every part
painted over to present good APP
pearance.
Mr.. Willard informs us that it
will not be necessary to shut off the
regular traffic, as he intends to 50
arrange his work that no Interrupt
ton will be caused. This information
will no doubt be received with plea
sure by the hundreds who use this
bridge daily. He states, however,
that it will probably be necessary to
shut off travel on few occasions,
but not for more than an hour or
two at time. A fire truck will be
Stationed across, the '-~bayou during
the repairing of the bridge to serve
in case fire should break out during
one of these intervals.
Mr.. Willard is an engineer Of
much more than the usual ability,
and he promises piece of work that
will be a credit to his name and a
pleasure to the citizens.
Mr.. Tom Jones will supervise the
work for the city. 1t is probable that

BIG EASTERN co, AFTER
OIL HERE.
Drilling Starts AT Once On
1St Well.

Quietly, and with very little being
known generally about their work,
a company of Pittsburg and New
! ork capitalists, has been laying
plans to prospect for oil in Iberia
Parish
These gentlemen. known as the J.
d. Gallery Oil Company, are report
cd to be a large, well established
concern, with much experience in the
oil game, and they are going about
their business here in a manner 10
bear out this reputation.
They were interested in the oil
possibilities Of this section through
the efforts of Mr. E. a. McIlhenny,
who never overlooks a bet when It
comes to boosting the development of
Iberia Parish.
The Gallery Company now have
under lease between eighteen and
twenty thousand acres of land lying
| between this city and Avery Island,
being the property Of Mr.. McIlhenny
who has leased the land retaining
the usual mineral royalty on any
possible production.
We are informed that the company
have already completed the erection
of their first derrick, which stands
fully one hundred feet high, consid-
erably larger than the usual derrick
employed in drilling for OIL
Three car loads of machinery and
pipe have arrived, and the machinery
is being gotten in position for an
early start in the actual work of
drilling The lease contract, accord
| ing to our informant, calls for
start to be made by the first of the
new year. and for two or three wells
| being sunk at once.
The drillers will start with twelve
inch casing, which is larger by two
inches than that usually used, which
shows that they intend to go down
to a depth that will either get the
fluid or prove tonclusively that 1t Is
not there; the intentions being, as
we understand, to penetrate to four
thousand feet in each hole before
pulling out.
The location of the first well is to
the left side of the Salt Mine branch
track going out toward the Island,
being some distance from the rail
road right of way, and approximately
half way between the Island and New
iberia. The other wells will be locat-
| cd in the same neighborhood.

through its president, Mir Albert
F,st5r g, has SIGNED the contract that

talnmcnt and Instruction for our peo-
pie next Spring. The company which
VIII supply the talent IS the famous
Ecdpath ChagtaUQua Association, the
originators OF the travelling chautau-
gee idea.
Ii response to The letters sent out
by Miss Rita Soulier, Secretary Of
the Commerce organization, over two
hundred tickets were reserved by
citizens wh1 agreed to purchase same
on presentation.
When the Board Of Directors Of
that body met on Tuesday evening,
only one hundred and thirty tickets
remained to be placed, and MIR. Da-
Wis, contract man for Redpath, ac
conpanied by Miss Soulier, went out
Wednesday and placed a sufficient
number to make it safe for the Cham
ber Of Commerce to guarantee the
contract.
M Esto~ao informs us that there
are s..Il quite q number Of tickets to
be disposed Of, and he requests any
Of our citizens who have not yet
signed UP to take tickets, to go to
the Chamber Of Commerce rooms and
tell Miss Soulier how many they can
use.
On the basis Of only four hundred
being sold in advance, the tickets
will cost, including war tax, So. 80
for admission to the ten programs.
or only 33 cents each. Single admis-
sions to all the numbers would a
mount to nearly $40. 90.
Redpath has also made US the pro-
position, that if we can sell 500 tick
cts instead of 400, they will reduce
all to &2.75 including war tax, or j
saving Of fifty five cents on each sea-
son ticket sold Last year about sew
en- hundred were disposed of, so if
everybody will get in communication
with Miss Soulier and tell her how
many tickets they can use, we will
be able to take advantage Of the
| 50 Is offer.
This is strictly community en-
terprise, and each citizen should
take a personal interest in it.
Redpath has agreed not to send
their performances here during Lent
which was the question which caused
the Chamber Of Commerce to break
the contract with Ellison-White
Company.
The Redpath Association is well
known in this section, having showr
three years straight in Lafayette
and next Spring will be their eighth
consecutive season in Lake Charles.
The programs will be given right
after Easter, and no money is re
quired from any one until that time.
Just let Miss Soulier know how many
tickets you will want, and she will
enter your name on the list.
