side the corporation limits beyond

galusa.

L. E. Williams has son about 6
years of age. It is reported that
Gaines left three children; Bouch-
illon eight. O'Rourke has seven chill
dren.
Bodies to New Orleans
The bodies of the three dead men
were taken to New Orleans Monday
morning, accompanied by relatives
and friends. It was stated that the
bodies were sent there for the pur-
pose of making an examination. A
New Orleans paper stated late Tues
day afternoon that the bodies would
likely be buried there, but this could
not be confirmed.
Dacus Leaves Hurriedly
Residents in Richardsontown state
that about ten minutes after the riot
whistle at the plant of the Great
Southern Lumber Company blew on
Saturday at 1890 a negro was seen
running as fast as IL was possible for
a person to GO. That he went in the
direction of the Bogalusa Veneer
plant. The parties who saw him did
not know Dacus, but from the de-
scription it is believed that it was
the negro wanted. He was reported
the Florenville Sunday.
Who Shot Leblanc
The question of who shot Leblanc
is somewhat changed by the state
ment of O'Rourke. Physicians at the
time stated the wound which he re-
coeived could not have been made by
a 22-long rifle, such as was fired by
James Williams. O'Rourke's state
ment that Lum used a 80 or .38 pis-
toll is foundation for the opinion that
it was bullet from this weapon that
caused the wound, and O'Rourke is
of the opinion that the shot was one
fired at the same time when Lum and
others fired.
City Unusually Quiet
Sensational reports sent out of Be-
galusa and New Orleans after the
shooting were apparently without
foundation, as never has Boga-
Iusa been more quiet than since Sat
urday afternoon. No trouble of any
kind has occurred. One man asked
for police protection and two officers
were sent to his home for the night.
People of Bogalusa have been going
about their business as usual and ex-
-ept possible for those who were in
4 nervous condition the city has
never been more quiet than during
the past few days.
