 KHAN VICTIMS

Mer Rouge, La, Dec. 21-A de- tachment of National Guardsmen to- day was at Lake Lafourche, a deep body of water fifteen miles southeast of here, to protect and assist a diver in the search for the bodies of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, mss ing members of a party of five Mer Rouge citizens kidnapped by masked men on the night of August "A, while returning from a good roads meeting at Bastrop.
 State authorities and detectives sent here several months ago to in- vestfgate the disappearance were re- ported to have intimatd they believe that the hooded band killed Daniels and Richards and threw thir bodies into the lake. Two iron wheels of an old farm wagon near the lake were said to have disappeared the night of the kidnapping and it is the belief of the authorities that they might have been used as weights.
 That Governor John Parker re- ceived official information that threats had been made against state officers who were Investigating the kidnaIp- pings was one of the many uncon frmed reports circulated here as the reason for sending troops to this place.
