R0WDlES SOUGHT
FOR SCRlBBLINC
OBSCENE THINGS

FL Centre storckcepers and the
police Of this city, are today en-
dcavoring to find out the identity
Of group Of youngsters who de-
faced store windows all through the
business section Saturday night
with soap, and if the individuals
can be located, it will 20 hard with
them.
"We are not concerned with the
boys who drew soap marks all over
windows or cut up in other harmless
ways Saturday night said Chief
Barker today, "but if we can find
out the boys who wrote obscene
words on the windows they will be
punished as severely as possible.
at was disgrace to the young
sters of this city he continued,
"and to their parents as well, to
have church goers and citizens in
general greeted with nasty, filthy
words and phrases yesterday morn
ing. The police were told to be
lcnient with the youngsters, for we
were all once kids and we knew
how TO cut up on Hallowe 'en. The
FL Centre boys have abused the
privileges given them, however, and
VIC will draw strict lines on them il,
the future.
Offenders Were Few
"a few Of them have made
nuisances Of themselves, and unless
the guilty ones come forward and
make known their identity, all the
boys in this city suffer from odium:
Storekeepers can only blame all OF
them, not knowing just who the
ones are that wcrei responsible for
Saturday night s work.
Storekeepers were not alone IN
their complaint. The group OF mt
tic rowdies WHO marked mp the
store windows also wrote on the
windshields of automobiles parked
in the business section, much TO
the annoyance and embarrassment
Of the general public.
Chief Barker has asked the school
authorities to aid him in finding
out the guilty boys and il this
proves unsuccessful, he is consider
ing asking the Boy Scouts to CO.
operate with him and save the good
name Of the boys Of FL Centre by
finding out who the rowdies arc
and compelling them to report them
selves to their school teachers or to
the police.
Aside from tho use of soap on
the windows there was no damage
reported to the police because OF
Hallowe ZEN celebrations. Property
in general was not molested and nc
accidents Of any kind were reported

SUICIDE THEORY
IS DOUBTED m
HEBER SHOOTING
Sheriff's Office Makes
Probe of Victims
Version

Investigation is being conducted
by the sheriff's office today re-
garding the mysterious shooting Of
L. B. Dodge of this city, near Heber
Saturday night, in what was at
first believed to be an attempt at
suicide. y,.-.,.
Dodge, who is at the FL Centre
hospital. with a bullet wound Just
alove his heart, may live, according
to attending physicians, unless com.
plications set in. The wounded
man claims the he tried to take his
own life because he was tired Of
living.
Circumstances Of the case lead
the police to believe. however, that
Dodge may have been shot by an.
other person, and this phase Of the
ease is being given close attention.
Found on Roadway
Dodge was found on the dirt road
which runs west from the turn into
Heber, south of FL Centre, shortly
after midnight Saturday, by Officer
Knight of the traffic squad. Knight
, was attracted to the scene when his
headlights as he was travelling to-
| ward this city, showed Dodge's car
about 200 yards west Of the turn
The horn on the ear was sounding.
Knight investigated and found
! Dodge in the front seat with his
head resting on the steering wheel
this accounting for the horn sound
; ing. Believing the man was drunk
Knight attempted to arouse him
! and then discovered that Dodge 4
clothes were drenched in blood. He
, took the injured man to the local
hospital. where he informed the hos
! pital authorities and Knight that
he had tried to kill himself.
/ According to Knight, the back
seat and floor of the ear were GOV.
cred with blood, and this circum
stance first led to the belief that
| Dodge had been shot by another
| party. The gun, % calibre auto
matte, was in the front of the ear,
on the floor.
Woman Is Seen
! Deputy Sheriff Corneilson and
Traffic Officer Williams, of the
county squad, also report condi.
| tion that may be connected with
the shooting Of Dodge. The Off
GERS were on their way to this city
i'll car, with two prisoners who had
been arrested below Heber. A mile
or more south of the city line they
! passed woman walking toward this
| city at Il fast pace, and carrying
her hat in her hand. The officers
! commented on the fact at the time,
but as their car was crowded they
! did not stop to offer the woman a
ride into the city. The officers ex-
press the belief that this woman
may known something about the
shooting Of Dodge.
The latter is employed by Fred
Cross of this city, and roomed at
l266 Adams street. He is unmar-
ried, according to the police, and
has lived in this city for the past
] four or five years. At the sheriff s
office it was stated this morning
that Dodge is reported to have in
vited woman to Mexieali for
dinner Saturday night, and met
with refusal. He then went to Mex
icali alone and is said to have seen
the woman whom he invited in one
of TIE cabarets with another man.
Had the gun used in the shooting
been of larger calibre, there would
have been little chance for Dodge to
have escaped instant death, the po-
lice state,
