The robbery., was. not discovered until the store was opened for business Satur da~ morning,and, an examination sh we~t fat tlpe thieves had forc ed out one of.the panes of glass in the office window, after trying to pry open the sliding door back in the warehouse. They carried off several pairs of fine shoes, rase shirts, socks,knives,razors, cigars and tobacco,using a couple of `sacks that had contained veg etables to pack their.plunder in. No trace could be found of the robbers, bn t it .was thought to have been the work of negroes and the sheriffs of nearby parish es were notified of the. theft. *bdaky, Sheriff Lacaste of La f~t~ e notified W. M. Haste that he had' arrested a couple of young negroes, giving their names as Felix Coleman and James Smite, who had most of the stolen goods in their possession. They were brought to Abbeville Tuesday morning by:sheriff Boudreau and one of his deputies and lodged in jail. Coleman and Smith drop ped into Gueydan only last week, -clainigg to hail from New Or leans, and in their talk with the coon town people they claimed to have an easy way of living. Near ly $100 worth of goods was car ried off by these thieves, but thq grerte . part 6f 'the articles will be r covered:. Bgaeball- Carnlval. Two games of baseball were played here last Sunday between the Abbeville Grays and the Eagens, a team composed of players from Crowley,Onelousas, and other points. .The first game was called at 2:45 p. m. and was quite interesting, the score being 11 to 5 in favor of the Grays. The second game began at about five o'clock and resulted in an other victory for the Grays by a score of 9 to 3. Several good plays are credited to both teams and the records show some errors also. The two game on thewhole were well worth seeing, although the playersisere worn out and very tired towards the end. They showed grit by sticking o t to the finish 'and' they were "cn couraged by an unusuilly ilarge attendance Fred's Team Doing Well. Fred Mestaver's Racket Store team is coming to the front and now hold the reputation of being the tirongest "youngster" nine in this neighborhood., The Rack et Stores played twos fine games 1st.week and wors victories in both games. The. first took place Thursday when they'administer ed a telling blow to sweet Stans b~irsy's Blues, the score being 7 to i6. The second game .was played Saturday when the Rack et team defeated the Perry boys t a score-of 4 to-2. The yeunig sters propose to tackle the Grays at an early date and a rattling good game is expected.

One of the most interesting cases to appear before Judge Schlesinger Was that of Delmas Matte vs. Adam Rufhfn,both sons of Africa. Last Thursday after noon Delmas came to town and appeared before the Third Ward Justice Court to lodge complaint against Adam for having disfig ured him. Delmas was minus the greater part of his lower lip which he claimed was chewed off by his adversary in a conflict that took place Thursday morn ing at Spring Hill "between the two negrbes. Judge Schlesinger took immediate action and in a few hours Adam Ruffin was lodged behind the bars without bail to await trial by a higher court. Pat Newson and Jos. Finley, both colored, and claiming to be nov residents of this state, were also lodged in jail by Sheriff Boudreau, to serve as material witnesses in the above case. Bill Harvesty, colored, held up a peaceful assembly of nekroes across the river, all by his lone some, at two o'clock Sunday morning, and Bill was allowed to be the boss of the g'thering. He held his exalted position but a short while,for Sheriff Boudreau put in an appearance, accompa nied by Justice J. Ablert Schles inger and Ed anon Trahan,and be fore this trio Bill saw that it was best to sing low. He was taken to the cooler and when searched was relieved of a long, butcher knife with which he had :wed the negroes. After resting in hoc for awhile he was released on $5q bond.

Johusi . .t.ot4,Sii g 4 - Cih'ud:: ~4.u a: yea8 Broussard Scores Escudler. EDITOR MERIDIONAL: In replying to an article in the Weekly Herald, I would say that' self lauding is never worth -while to take notice of. Mr. Escudier was asked to umpire the game, and he accepted on the first pop. It was a very bad move on our part, as his decisions during the game were very crooked in some instances. " He even tried to say' that our last score did not count, but his son Paul, beinglin better disposition, came up and said it' counted. About the agreement made be= tween myself ang Mr. Escudler, I did not say that I would plate in the box David Andrus and no one else, but said that I had 'no pitcher yet and that Didier Bernard told me I could et -this man David Andrus,but. this state ment does not c6nfine m to Da Vid Andrus in the box iand " no one else. But they,on their part, agreed to place Mr. Broussard in the box and no one else' We held them to this until thley ftit$1l ly"consented to the age-eemenit and placed Mr. Broussard -in the box. The game began afterigreat excitement and went on uitil the sixth inning, when they saw they would lose the game, the score then being two to one in favor` of Erath, even with all thle' crooks made in their favor. They began to bring kicks that we were bet. ting when it was agreed dot 'to bet on the game. 'I 'poSitively say again this is another crook of, theirs, because we did - not bet. They on the Abbeville side' iet swinging five and ten'dollai~ at us during the entire gal~ebu.t the Erath's refused to take a·Biny of it upas it was agreed not to. ' When they saw they could not bluff us on the side the.y tried ' tq tmn fi a fresh wftbherenfl. °W refused and they gaveo us fiBve minutes to decide. At -'the ex piration of the five minutes they called the game off in this way having the umpire on their kid, as this one was. This is a tre stateinentot the agreement made for the g hie and the result of it is'alit turnad out. Raphael A. Brouassard. . Henry Doing*. Rev F, Racine visited Deolims bre Sunday.
