MANSPI'LD.
Farmers Asking for Paris Green to
Kill Cotton Caterpillars.
Mansfield, La., Aug. 2.-There is
much talk of the caterpillar in sev
eral portions of the parish. Some
of the planters have already begun
to put out paris green poison, but
there promises to be a shortage of
the poison, and caterpillars may do
an enormous amount of damage to
the growing cotton. The boll weevil
Is said to be making ravages in man3q
sections.
A heavy rain fell here this after
noon, and judging from the clouds
the rain must have been pretty gen
eral.
Buy it now. Now is the time to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
is almost certain to be needed before
the summer is over. This ermedy
has no superior. For sale by all
drugglast.
The newly married couple's dream
The newly married couple's dream
of domestic bliss contains only
thoughts of LIGHT housekeeping
and NO baking drudgery.
Mr. Bridegroom, don't you allow
your wife to age herself by the
laborious work of bread baking-
start the home right by using our
bread and rolls.
It's just as economical in the end
and far more pleasureable.

MRS. DAVI SAYS DREAM DIRECT
ED HER TO LETTERS THREAT
ENINGS HUSBAND.
New Orleans, Aug. 3.-The two
missing levters of the three said to
have been sent the recently murdered
Joseph Davi, over a year ago, by
Black Hand agents were found by
his widow yesterday morning and
placed in the hands of the police for
their inspection. The appearance of
young Mrs. Davi, heavily veiled and
garbed in black, at police headquart
ers. accompanied by her mother and
a brother-in-law, Pascal Dvi, inspired
the report that at last some clew to
the solution of the tragedy at Galvez
and Art streets had been secured.
Such, however, was not the fact.
In their eager quest for a motive
in the murder of Joseph Davi, the
detectives learned from Pascal Davi.
that the unfortunate grocer had re
ceived three Black Hand letter about
a year before his death. One of
these epistles was found among his
effects, but the other two could never }
be secured. Yesterday morning Mrs.
Davi, who is staying with her mother
at the latter's home in Hospital
produced them.
Mrs. Davi said that she had found
the letters at the bottom of and old
trunk belonging to her husband,
after an exhaustive search that was
inspired by a dream the night be
fore. The first letter was in an
envelope postmarked May 1, 1910.
Translated from the Italian by De
tective Dantonia, it reads:
"Dear friend, pardon me that we
are going to bother you; because we
are in need and ask you to favor us
with $200, not to obligate yourself
to us, but we want the sum as from (
a friend. You must come and deliver
it yourself Tuesday morning. You
start out of your house 4 o'clock in
the morning with your horse, and
take Tulane avenue, the route that ,
brings you to Carrollton avenue, and I
I when you meet a man who will
ask you for a match you will deliver
to him the money. Be careful and
do what we ask you, otherwise you
will suffer the consequences."
The letter, like both of those
E which followed it, is unsigned. All j
k three are in the same handwriting.
Undated, and the envelope lost, the
only information concerning the time
of the second letter is the declaration
of Pascal Davi that it arrived about -
ra week after the first. I reads as
follows:
"Your attention is called to the
tact that we have respected you as
a friend, but you have not done as
we requested you to do, and now
if anything happens to you don't feel
sorry for it, because you have been
warned. Be careful. We are after
you and don't .forget it. You go
B and see some of your friends, and
- everything can be fixed, but if you
B go to sleep over it, others will be
1 awake. You will regret it. Pay at
t tention, and by doing so you will
f not be sorry. Everythiing can be ar
o ranged. Goodbye until Tuesday.".
D Although greatly alarmed by these
I communications, Davi did nothing
more about them than consult his
brother. About a month later the
third letter came. This was the one
s which the police secured shortly after
the killing. It was couched in pro
fane and threatening language, of
fered Davi a last chance to pay the
$200, and promised death in the
o event that he failed to do so.
Detective Dantonio, the local exs
pert in questions of Italian crime,
declares that the letters are un
l doubtedly genuine Black Hand com
L1 munications, and probably have all
to do with the murder. "The threat
in the second is significant," said
he. " 'If you go to sleep over it,
others will be awake.' Davi was
murdered as he lay asleep in bed,
over a year after his failure to ac
etide to the demands made upon
him."
District Attorney Adams, Inspec
tor Reynolds and Chief Long to
gether perused the two letters
brought by Mrs. Davi, but decided
that their discovery could throw
little additional light upon the crime.
The police have worked in vain to
discover a single clew to the iden
tity of Davi's murderer and practical
ly have given up the chase. Detec
tives old in the service brand it as
the. most inexplicidble case the New
m Orleans police ever handled.
