Dr. H. A. Truxillo, a well-known
Assumption boy who for nearly twen
ty years past has been located in
Flushing, Long Island, where he is
practicing dentistry, spent a few days
this week with relatives in Upper
Assumption, and came to Donaldson
ville Thursday to look up some of his
old friends and renew former asso
ciations. Needless to say his visit
gave much pleasure to all who had
the privilege of meeting him, and it
was a source of gratification to note
the genial doctor's hale and hearty
appearance and to learn from him
that he is meeting with much suc
cess in the practice of his profession.
This was Dr. Truxillo's first visit
home in more than fifteen years, and
the journey proved a most interest
ing and enjoyable one at every stage.
Several hundred Winchester rifle
cartridges were found by Police Offi
cers Echeverria and Dalferes on
New Year's day in a shanty on the.
river batture at the head of Cheti
maches street, formerly occupied by
negro wood-choppers, who were com
pelled to vacate a few days ago ow
Yug to the enlargement of the levee
at that point. The policemen noted
a number of young boys playing with
cartridges, and started an investiga
tion which led to the finding of a
large can in the deserted shack, fill
ed with the cartridges. They were
originally contained in cartons stamp
ed with the dates 1881 and 1884, and
labeled "Made at Frankfort Arsenal."
Miss Stella Oubre, of upper Ascen
