Bal Masque Was
Brilliant Event

One Of the most brilliant and sue
cessful events in the history OF Boz
galusa society was the bal masque
given by the young ladies of Boga-
lusa at the Pine Tree Inn Friday
night.
Every man fortunate enoughto be
the recipient of ana invitation entered
for one night the realm Of make
believe, and gorgeous indeed were
the costumes of the maskers.
From the grand march at 9:30
until after 1 O'Clock all was a Whirl
of color and joy. Within the ball
room gay Pierrettes flirted with las
many Pierrots; houris Of the harem
danced with mysterious members of
the Ku Klux Khan and Gypsies and
senoritas coquetted with richly clad
knights and testers; amusing bellboys
lowered about demure shepherdesses
and dainty ladies' maids; Cleopatra
of ancient Egypt, in cloth of gold,
did intricate modern dance steps with
a yellow Chinaman, and an enchant-
ing maid of the SOS, in modest pan
talettes, floated by on the arm of
Harlequin, while with fascinated in
terest the chaperones looked on the
ever-changing tableaux.
Especially beautiful were the cos
tunes of Mrs. E. H. Firth, Mrs. Cush-
ing, Mrs. Wuescher, Mrs. Townsend,
Mrs. Frank Sullivan, Mrs. J. B. Lind5-
ley and the Misses Gray and Inez
Blanchard.

CONVICTED JITNEY DRIVERS
WILL HAVE LICENSE REVOKED

The proposed hearing of the tit,
ney drivers on exorbitant rates
charged in the city was postponed at
the Commission Council meeting last
Tuesday night.
Eseo Knight, representing the SER
vice car drivers, was on hand with
his note anF figures, but when Mayor
Sullivan suggested that committee
composed Of eight car owners and
seven non-owners investigate the
charges and make out list of what
they considered fair prices, Knight
agreed to await their deliberations.
However, the jitney drivers did not
GO unnoticed. An ordinance was pro-
posed and passed giving the city
clerk authority to revoke the license
of any service car drivel who will
have been prosecuted in the city, par
ish or state courts and found guilty
This will do much to keep the de-
cent car drivers of the city from get
ting a black-eye at the hands of the
irresponsible members Of, the frater-
nifty. We don't want any of the
Terminal gang type of jitney drivers
in Bogaiusa and this ordinance viii

Groundkeeper for
Browns Arrives

William Stockstick, groundkeeper
for the st. Louis Browns" arrived
in Bogalusa Tuesday afternoon, the
advance guard Of the athletes who
will be the guests of the city after
February goth.
Mr.. Stockstickk was taken to both
parks and after inspecting them
voiced his approval by saying that
Bogalusa had done more for the
Browns than any other city or town
in the country had ever done for any
league team.
The park on Pleasant Hill is prac-
tically ready, the clubhouse, SO feet
long by "a feet wide, is finished, the
building has been painted, screens
put up, electricity connected and
all the finishing touches made. In
side, the 6 lockers are each fitted
with a paddock; two rubbing tables
occupy the center Of the floor and
benches fine the walls. The bath
rosfn contains five shower baths and
two stationary washstands, two cleo
trio water heaters furnish hot water
The diamond has been raised 10
inches and is turtle-backed from the
pitchers mound to the edges. At
the suggestion of Mr.. Stockstiek a
final covering Of black loan viii be
put on.
A netting As feet high has been
raised on the right and left fields, so
that but few balls will leave the
park. The grandstand has been re-
painted and the netting over it re-
inforced.
At the colored park work has pro-
crossed even more rapidly. Bleach
ers capable Of seating several hum
ylred have been erected along both
sids of the fence. The clubhouse is
almost completed and is identical to
the one on Pleasant Hill. The dia-
mand has been raised at least 20
inches and those who attended the
colored games last summer would not
recognize the park, so great has beer
the Transformation.
The jitney drivers are making ar
rangenents to transport the players
to and from the parks at 10 cents
each.

while their engine was busy switching
on a siding. The men saw the dam
ger too late to warn the engineer.

without receiving a scratch. Strick-
land jumped too late and landed
aboard the first car Immediately un~
der the wheels of the caboose, which
piled on top of him.

outskirts of the city, were arrested
Thursday by ( officer Wood and
Deputy Sheriff Booty, charged with
stealing everything from gasoline
tanks to engines off the numerous
cars that have been stuck on the new

months. The loot, consisting of a
dozen castings, gas tanks, storage
batteries, a Ford engine, wise, anvil,
single and double-trees and miscel-
laneous assortment of tools, couple
of sacks of beans and three barrels
Of sour mash was found in an old de-
serted house about half mile off
the road.
The police department had re-
ceived reports from irate car owners
from time to- time during the past
few months, telling of the loss of
everything movable whenever it
CHANGED that their cars were left
overnight on the highway, the climax
coming when the engine was removed
from the Ford truck of d. G. Sheri-
dan. Investigation showed the rob
bers had spent the night by the road

cabin with its store Of loot and noti-
fled Chief Magee.

men were rounded up in the house
and carried to the parish prison in
