Died.
Simeon Begneaud, a prominent
citizen of Lafayette, died sudden
ly Thursday at 11:30 a. m. from a
stroke of appoplexy, in the 53rd
year of his age. He had been
unwell for some time,*and while
his condition was considered
serious, his death came very un
expectedly. M r. Begneaud was
a member of a large and promi
nent family of the parish, and
was the son of the late Alexan
der Begneaud. of Scott. He was
engaged in business in his native
town previous to entering into
business in this city, to which
he moved about fifteen years ago.
At the last municipal election he
was elected a member of the City
Council.
The deceased was a man of a
kindly and charitable nature and

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Indictments Found and Recom
mendations Made-Schools
and Roads In Good
Condition.
To the Honorable Philip S. Pugh,
*Judge of the 18th Judicial Dis
trict (ourt for the Parish of La
fayette, La.
The Grand Jury empanelled
for this term of court, having
completed its labors, beg leave
to submit their final report.
We have investigated 57
charges laid before us, and have
reported 34 true bills and 23 not
true bills.
In the line of our duty we have
examined the Sheriff's office and
report the same to he in the
usual good condition. The jail
also received our attention and
we found the same in fair condi
tion.
We also visited the Clerk's of
fice and found the books and
other public documents to be in
good order and generally well
kept, but the building itself is in
very bad condition, the walls be
ing badly cracked and appearing
to be sinking; we recommend an
inspection of this building by
some one competent to judge of
such matters and that such ex
pert so appointed by the Police
Jury for that purpose make a re
port as to th saf tv of said
building and` if -in a dan
gerous condition and subject to
collapse, whether same can be
repaired so as to be safe for
human life and the public rec
ords therein. And if the ex
pert reports that same is too
badly damaged for repairs, we
recommend that the Police Jury
erect a new court house with a
fire-proof clerk's office attached
as soon as the revenues of the
parish will so justify.
We have also looked into the
public schools of the parish and
take great pleasure in reporting
them to be generally well con
ducted and in a high state of ef
ficiency. We believe that good
work is being done in our public
schools, and that the lapse of a
few years will demonstrate be
yond any doubt the wisdom and
patriotism of the people in pro
moting and upbuilding this
branch of the public service.
We note with pride also the
spirit of progress and enterprise
displayed by the people of the
town of Lafayette in the tax and
bond issue recently voted by
them for public school buildings
and other public works.
Again, as to public roads, it is
with no small degree of satisfac
tion that we report unmistakable
and substantial signs of prog
ress. We are safely within the
bounds of truth in saying that
the public roads of the parish
are now in better condition gen
erally and better drained than
ever before in our history. In
this we observe not only a degree
of efficiency and faithful per
formance of duty on the part of
officials, but a sure and steady
movement of the people to the
achievement of better things.
The Grand Jury, without suf
ficient evidence for action, are
constrained to believe that
abuses exist in our parish in the
matter of the payment of costs
to certain Justices of the Peace
by persons brought before them
on minor charges and the whole

some administration of justice
requires that such things should
cease.
We report another reprehensi
ble practice existing in our par
ish, and one that is difficult to
reach, and that is, the discharg
ing of fire-arms on our public
roads in the night-time. and pur
sued even to the extent of shoot
ing into public and private
houses on the way side. This is
a sign of lawlessness which if al
lowed to go unchecked and un
noticed, is apt to produce se
rious results. The law should
by strictly enforced and all dis
orders stopped, no matter by
whom committed.
In conclusion, we beg to ex
tend our acknowledgements to
your Honor for the assistance
rendered by your clear and com
prehensive charge, and alsQ to
thank our able and energetic
District Attorney, and other offi
cers for courtesies and assis
tance.
