LAST CHAPTER IN
CLOTHES SWINOLE.
Pres. of Firm Comes Here
To Settle Losses.

As a sequel to the story in our
last issue, concerning the young man
who had clcyerIy duped a number 81
our citizens on fake suit orders, we
have the following:
Mr. II X Tarvin, of the firm oil
Tarvin & Company, Cincinnati, Ohio,
was in New IBERIA this week, re-
deeming the name of his company,
which was the firm that was suppos-
ed to be furnishing the suits
Mr. Tarvin stated that he has
been going over the territory covered
by the crooked salesman, and has so
far as possible found every person
hooked on the deal, and has settled
their losses.
He stated further that the man in
question had been dismissed from
his employ some time ago, had got
ten some receipts and other station
cry printed just like the firms Off
cal stationery, with which he was
able to carry on his crooked work.
Mr.. Tarvin had a long chase,
which carried him through the five
states of Tennessee, Mississippi, Al
ALBANIA, Arkansas and Louisiana. He
often got very close to the culprit,
but was never quite able to catch up
with him.
The long chase was finally brought
to an end last Wednesday when the
swindler was caught in Lake Charles
and arrested under charges of en-
bezzlement and misrepresentation,
Beville is twenty two years of age,
and very fine looking young fel-
low. Besides the warrant issued in
Lake Charles, there were warrants
issued here, at Lafayette and Frank
lin.
Beville's plan which resulted in his
arrest, Mr.. Tarvin said this morning
WAS to take orders for clothing from
higher priced lines of goods carried
by the company, showing the GUS
toner the sample of the goods from
which he stated the clothing was to
be made, but submitting to the COM
pany an order for a cheaper priced
piece of goods, the result being that
when the clothing was received con-
siderable dissatisfaction resulted. 1t
is also stated that deposits made by
the customers on clothing ordered
were retained by Beville.

n, 0, COMPANY STARTS
FREIGHT SERVICE.
Steel Barge Between New
Orleans And N. /.

The Cuyamel Steamship Company
of New Orleans, has sent out notices
Of the inauguration Of barge line
service for the Bayou Teche, hand
ling freight from New Orleans to all
points between Morgan City and New
Iberia, exclusively, stopping neither
above nor below these two points.
The service started on Wednesday
the 23rd of the present month, and
furnishes weekly delivery of freight,
and also an excellent passenger serv-
ice. Accommodation can be had for
about ten passengers, with first class
berths and meals.
The barge used is an entirely new
steel vessel, with tonnage capa-
city of approximately four hundred
tons, and is self propelled. The barge
was built originally for the shallow
river trade on South and Central
American countries, but a change in
the policy Of the company decided
them to place it in the Teche freight
and passenger service.
We understand that substantial
reductions have been made by the
Cuyamel Company in the prevailing
freight rates, and if they are liberal
ly patronized by the mere hants their
coming into the trade here may have
some effect in forcing down the rail-
road freight rates that are now eat
ing up the profits Of industry.

FIRST POULTRY SHOW
FOR IBERIA,
New Association Will Dis
play Fowls In Dec.

The first Poultry show Of the new
ly re-organized Iberia Parish Poultry
Association will be staged on Satur-
day and Sunday, December 10th and
11th
AT the very first meeting, this as
soclation decided to stage this show
at an early date, but left the exact
days to be fixed by their Board Of
Directors
This Beard, consisting Of Messrs
w. d. Reynolds, Lionel Laperouse,
James Colgin, DR.. W. F. Carstens
and Albert LeMaire, held a meeting
this week and fixed the days as men
toned above. The exact location of
the Exhibition has not yet been def
nitely decided upon, but will be an
nounced in the next issue of The
Iberian. The original intention was to
hold the show in the Chamber o.
Commerce headquarters. but it is
known from the interest already dis
played that this room would be far
too small to accommodate the birds
and the crowds.
Fully one hundred and fifty pure
bred fowls have already been rromis-
ed, and probably many more will be
brought in by the opening day.
Anybody living in Iberia, Parish is
entitled, and urgently requested to
bring in any pure bred fowls they
may have, Of any and all varities.
The farmers Of the parish will all
be notified Of the show, and doubt
less hundreds of them will come in
to see the display. By this method it
is hoped that keener interest may
be awakened throughout the parish,
and in town, in the breeding of stand
ard poultry, and if this result be
obtained a great financial benefit
will accrue to the community there
from,
Watch for fuller details, and the
exact location Of the Poultry Show
in our next issue. And make up your
mind to be there and see what fine
birds the poultry fanciers of Iberia
can produce. We have the reputation
of being the first parish in the state
in this line, and it is the hope Of the
Association to clinch the first place
beyond any arguments, and they ex-
pect to bring this about by the org
anization and development of this
Parish Poultry Association.
Every one is invited to join in this
