Most of the cases already reported have hare been from the Englewood school and most of the quaran tine flags have been posted on homes in that district.. " In some instances, Dr. J. O. MatthiS, school physician, has found difficulty In locating youngsters stricken with the dis ease. On one occasion he sought a youth who has been exposed to the disease and who was wander ing about the streets downtown. exposing other penons.

POST FFI WANTS LIQUOR BUYERS TWO BODIES RECOVERED F1J LAitE Remains Believed Those of Watt Daniels and Thos. Richards, Victims Of Morehouse Mob. Shreveport, La., Dec. 22. The bodies of two men In high state of decomposition, believed to be Watt Daniels and Thomas F. Richards, missing victims of the Morehouse mob of last August, were found this morning near the Eastland ferry on Lake LaFourche, which separates Morehouse and Richland parishes, according to the special correspondent of the Shreveport Journal. The limbs of the dead men were tied with wire. They came to the surface as the result of a big charge of dynamite ex ploded last night by unidentified pursous. Bodies Are Kude . The bodies were nude except for belts and a portion ct tile trousers. One man's head was gone. It is thought that those who used the explosive left without knowing the bodies had come to the sur face. ' The Journal's correspondent ar rived at the ferry this morning en route on a trip across the lake. The ferryboat bad broken from us moorings and drifted a consider able distance downstream. The bank, near where the boat was accustomed to land, was badly, torn up. Many dead fish were on the surface of the water. Identification Difficult. The nearest point where soldiers were reported stationed Is said to be several miles from the place of the dynamiting. Owing to the condition of the bodies, It Is believed it will be dif ficult to remove them and that identification will be difficult un less there are marks on the belts. The condition of the bodies in dicated that they hud broken loose from some heavy object by which they had been weighted down to bed of the lake for four mouths. Heavy Wheels Missing. The disappearance of two Iron wagon wheels, rusting on the bunk of LttFourcbe lake for many years, at the time Daniels and Richards were reoprted missing after they and three others were swooped upon by a band of fifty or more hooded men and taken to punishment grounds, where they were severely flogged, led to the belief the men had been murdered and thrown Into the lake. Efofrts were being made by the military this afternoon to learn Die Identity of those responsible for the dynamiting. Governor Parker, when asked over the long distance telephone what move would be made next by ihe state, declared be had nothing to say further than that he was responsible for the moving of the troops Into Morehouse parish. Jury May Get Case. The grand Jury having failed to return any Indictments against the perpetrsturs of tho crime, the Btate now bus the prerogative of calling tor au open hearing in the case and can establish a cropus delicti by producing the bodies of the murdered men. It Is believed here the hearing will be held in the parUh court houke at Bastrop undeY guard of state troops. Department of Justice men have been credited with statement that the Identity of many member of the masked band has been estab lished and arrest are eipec'.ed to follow.
