A.Mrs. Stansbury, the soldier's mother, reports that her last communication A concrete block structure is being erected on the site of the frame stock barn that was burned to the ground April 2nd. Mr. Ernest Smith, owner of the barn, had stated that he would be back in business as soon as possible after the fire, and it looks like he will fulfill his promise in record time, if present plans materialize. At this date it i3 reported that Mr.

Smith hopes to hold a sale May 3rd, just slightly over a month since the fire. The new structure will not be nearly completed for the first sale, but if the roof is finished, business can be carried on while the rest of the construction continues. Plans for the new barn contain the same features as the old one, having a cafe, offices and a showroom. However, the new floor-space will be larger, and added fea Quarrel Over Money Results In Death Of One, Murder Charge Against Other A Coroner's Jury Wednesday, April 25th returned a decision that Alex Compare, colored, of Rayville be held without bond in the early Sunday morning shooting of Louis Jones, also colored. According to witnesses who appeared before the jury, the shooting occured at about 3:00 a.

m. Sunday morning behind Perkins' Saloon in the Rayville Negro section. Witnesses testified that an argue-ment had taken place a little before the shooting involving Alex Compare and another colored man. Louis Jones entered the arguement, which concerned Compare's debt of S2.00, advising Compare to pay. Angry words were exchanged, ending when Compare left the saloon, to return in a short time.

He went to the back of the store and continued the quarrel with Jones. A fight began during which both Negroes tumbled out of the back door of the saloon. All the witnesses testified to hearing shots at the back of Perkins establishment, tut none could actually describe the fatal shot. Louis Jones was found dead, and Alex Compare was placed in custody on a charge of murder. The decision of the Coroner's Jury holds Compare in the Rayville jail without bond until he can be duly arraigned and appear in court to be tried.

BILLY KOY SMDEK, Evangelist Analysis Of Stomach Contents Shows Presence Of Poison The Richland Parish Sheriffs Department is now engaged in an investigation of the death of Miss Velma Pain, of Archibald. Due to the sudden and mysterious nature of her death the Parish coroner. Dr. J. C.

Ellington, performed an autopsy on the girL The contents of her stomach were sent to a Monroe laboratory for analysis. This analysis showed the presence of poison in large enough quantity to have caused, death. The medical report also disclosed that the young girl was pregnant. Investigators from the Sheriffs office found little evidence that could be used in their search at the home of the girl's step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.

Burt, which was the place where death occured. It was found that the house had received a thorough cleaning following the girl's death. A small partly-used bottle of poison was found hidden in an outhouse. Several prints were found on the bottle which have been photographed and are now in the hands of a Baton Rouge expert who may be able to ascertain in the identity of the last person to touch the bottle from these prints. The girl had been under the recent treatment of Dr.

T. M. Sayre, due to a minor complaint. It is reported that on the night before her death she suffered a violent attack of nausea which increased in severity during the night. Dr.

Sayre was called in early the next morning, but the girl was dead when he arrived. He immediately turned the case over to the parish coroner Jessie Davidson, former member of the Rayville Rosenwald School faculty, is being held in the Rayville Jail on two charges, one for forgery, one for theft by worthless check. The quick action of Mr. W. L.

Jarmon and the Richland Parish Sheriffs Department resulted in her apprehension and arrest last Thursday. Jessie purchased a $46.00 watch at Mr. Jarmon's Richland Furniture paying for her purchase with a $100.00 check. She collected the watch and her change and boarded a west-bound bus, buying a ticket to Grambling. After she had left the store, Mr.

Jarmon had made inquiry, discovering that the check was worthless. He reported immediately to the Sheriff's office, where she was known for previous bad checks. This office notified the authorities in Ruston, where she was tak en off the bus. In Ruston, Jessie had almost succeeded in persuading the authorities there to release her, stating that her name was Mary Jones and that she had been riding with Jessie Davidson who had got off the bus in Monroe. The Sheriff's Department here was in communication with Ruston and asked that they hold her until someone from here could come over to identify the woman.

The local office, in checking, had discovered that the Rayville bus ticket office had sold only one ticket to Grambling that day. As the seli -called "Mary Jones' in Ruston si 1 from her son was dated April 2nd. At that time, Garland wrote he was with troops which had been engaged in combat for the past sixteen or seventeen days. The letter was written during a short rest given them. The letter was headed "Pokchon Valley, Korea, near the 38th Parallel." Pvt.

Stansbury enlisted in the Army on September 5, 1950. He received basic training at Ft. Riley, Kansas. He was at home for three weeks in 'January with a fifteen day furlough with an extension for illness. Following this furlough he returned to Washington and was then shipped out of the states.

He landed in Yokohama, Japan February 26, 195L From Japan he was sent into combat in Korea. Pvt. Stansbury celebrated his 21st birthday on March 21st by standing patrol duty in Korea. Mrs. E.

K. Spiers, Richland Parish Red Cross worker has made inquiry in an effort to obtain more details. So far the Red Cross has received no further information. However, the Stansburys have learned from a letter written by Manuel Davis to his sister in Archibald, dated April 16th BATON ROUGE, April 23 Register of State Lands Lucille May Grace, the second candidate to announce for the gubernatorial race, is the first woman to run for governor in Louisiana. Miss Grace joined District Judge Robert Kennon of Minden as a candidate when she issued her announcement at a press conference at her home here Saturday.

She was elected to the office in 1932 and has been reelected every four years. She has had the support of Gov. Earl Long in past elections, but has become a critic of his administration in recent months.
