Bogalusa Car Held
Up Near Sun Sunday

Five young toughs attempted to
hold up the occupants of the Paige
car belonging to L. E. Theriot,
well known Bogalusan, last Sunday
night. The hold-up was staked at
the railroad crossing just this side Of
Sun, but due to the presence of mind
of Mrs. Theriot, who started the car
before the would-be highway could
climb aboard, they were out-witted.
The car, containing Mr.. and Mrs.
Theriot and Mrs. Alpuente was re-
turning from Covington late Sunday
night. The road along the stretch
just this side of the railroad track be-
ing very bad, Mrs. Theriot, who was
at the wheel, was driving very slowly
when she saw man staggering in the
road, evidently feigning drunken
ness. She stopped the machine to
avoid hitting him, when four men
jumped out of the bushes that line
the road and ordered the occupants
of the car to climb out. Mr.. Theriot
leaped from the machine and knock
ed the pistol from the hand of the
leader of the band. Meanwhile Mrs.
Theriot started the car and her hus-
band hoped aboard, leaving the dis
comfitted robbers standing by the
roadside.
No explanation could be offered
as to why the affair was handled so
clumsily by the highwaymen, except
that they had stopped the wrong car
and were glad to make the best of
a bad bargain.
