is right up to the minute as a result
of the announcement of H. E. Res
ter, that his modern garage will be
open day and night and will not
close the year round. Furthermore
he will carry a complete line of

that he will carry accessories for
all other cars.
Boealusa car owners who have
had only slight troubles in other

the most common parts and no one
to put them on.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
KILLING Of YOUTH
Shot In Back With Rifle
And Death Was Al.
most instantaneous

Joe johnson, colored. aged II
years. and who was employed in
the Messina Shoe Shop in North
Boealusa, was shot and instantly
killed Sunday afternoon about S
o'clock just outside the city limits
near the Keaton farm. Officers
were called to the scene shortly
after the killing but were unable to
ascertain who had fired the shot
that caused the negros death. The
Coronor's jury met Monday but
nothing new developed and the
case was left open and more evil
dence will probably be introduced
later.
Evidence introduced showed that
the negro had been shot in the
back with bullet from a rife. The
bullet entered just below the lower
rib, penetrated the heart and came
out about one inch from the left
nipple. The body was found about
200 feet from the cane patch where
the victim and two other boys are
reported to have been. The two
companions were unable to give
any further light on the matter as
they were badly frightened. Officer
Smith was called in the case and
further investigation will be made.
