Several cars parked by the roadside
obstructed Voss' view and the car
struck the girl before he saw her.
The impact of the blow threw the
child on the fender and before the
car could be stopped she fell beneath
the wheels. Voss, who is just learn
ing to drive a car, became excited and
was unable to stop his machine until
it had gone up the street distance

and placed in Mr.. Haik's car and
taken to the Bogalusa Hospital, where
the wound in her head was closed
with stitches.

ing at the Bogalusa Hospital at 2
o'clock Sunday morning.
Crow, who was employed by the

GREAT FIGHT BILL
PROMISED SATURDAY

When Leo Moak and Kid Lumber
jack start tossing gloves at each
other in the main bout at the cavalry
all-star fight show Saturday night,
fistic followers of Bogalusa will have
an opportunity to see two of the
hardest hitting box-fighters in this
section Of the country in action.
Moak is said to be one of the clean
est athletes who ever donned a cestus.
No cigarettes to impair his wind, nor
near beer and ice cream to swell his
waist line. Reports from training
quarters tell of daily workouts with
hard-headed colored gentlemen, and
instead Of using a punch bag, Moak
pushes his fist against the three-lnch
board wall. Saturday he accidentally
hit a heavy pine door and drove ais
fist entirely through the panel.
In Kid Lumberjack, Moak viii find
himself pitted against a clever, hard
hitting opponent who boasts that ne
has never been knocked to his knees,
and the trooper also trains by push
ing his maulers against any hard ana
unyieIding surface he can find.
Advance sales Of tickets tend to
show that an unusually large crowd
of fight fans will attend the initial
show of the troopers, and about a
third Of those present will be Of the
gentler sex.
Reports Wednesday were that Kid
Carter has developed a bad case OF
"coldfeetus' when he heard that his
opponent was to be Grantham, the
hard-hitting RichardsontOwn battler,
and instead of going through with
the battle, decided to run no risk OF
being beaten up by boy who is said
to be even rougher than Kid Moore.
Nc Neese and Tommy Powers
promise to furnish one of the most
interesting battles of the evening.
These boys, who scale only 12U
pounds each, are fast and hard-hlt-
ting, and in Powers McNeese will
meet a man exactly the opposite OF
the slender and weak Gabrielle whom
he easily defeated several weeks ago.
Speed Presser and Clarence Young
will provide the fans with plenty OF
action and, mayhap, Young's famous
MARY Ann" will get in action IN time
to stage a Rip VanWinkle. :.
Clyde Blount and Finis Norris VIII
open the bill with four slashing
rounds Of boxing. Sammy Miner
will referee the matches and the
opening contest viii start promptly
at $3.50.

7 BOYS CAPTURED
AND MUCHLOOT
RECOVERED
Four Appear in Court, While
1t Is Said Ringleader Has
Left City Stealing Going
On for Several Weeks.

Bogalusa's gang of embryo James
Boys was broken UP last Saturday
night when four Of the members were
caught differing in the Bogalusa
Stores Company by the watchmen as
signed to that job. The band, num-
boring in all eight boys, it is said, be-
tween the ages of IL and ID years,
has been making foraging expedl-
tions in the Commissary for the past
several weeks, and their den, an old
unused barn near the ball park on
Pleasant Hill, contained considerable
loot, including everything from hats
and clothes to pocket knives, watches
land a 32-gauge shotgun.
The management of the Bogalusa
Stores realized several times the
strange disappearance Of considerable
merchandise and although a careful
watch was kept at all times articles
continued to disappear. Saturday 2
Waterman was assigned to keep his
eve on the store and he was instruct-
ed that in case he saw anyone at
tempting to enter the store he was
to notify several at the employees py
phone and an effort would be mace
e Capture the malefaetors whlle ln
the building.
Shortly after IL o'clock the watch
man saw several small boys, who had
been lingering about the store all
evening, stink around back of the
building and, climbing over the low
sheds in the rear, reach a second
story window and enter.

son and several of the store employees
and the night Waterman entered
simultaneously through different
doors in time to see the youthful
thieves run for the cellar. They were
Equickly rounded up and turned over
to Officers Woods and Bankston, who
were also present.
The young culprits took their ar
rest philosophically and when ques-
toned, admitted that they had en-
ltered the store on several occasions
and told where a considerable portion
of the loot was stored. Three other
/ BOYS were also named as members Of
the gang, and a fourth, who they
j claimed had been the leader of the
lgang, had left the city week before,
;carrying with him a part of the stolen
articles.
The seven boys were tried Wednes-
dav before Judge Carter.
Three of the boys were sent to the
House Of Correction at Monroe, La,
for an indefinite period, and the
other four were paroled for a year
under the supervision of their par
ents. Judge CATER in allowing these
boys to go stated that since this was
their first offense, he intended to be
lenient with them, but that they
would be constantly under the eye
of the local police department.
I One of the boys sent to Monroe
was the lad who escaped from jail
there several weeks ago, where he was
serving a short term for lifting q
water melon peddler's purse.
