Arrest of Youths Is
Seen As Stop To1
Theft Series
City Marshal R. H. Baker of La
Porte today believed he had stop-
ped a ring of youthful Houston
burglars from their nightly Inva-
sions of Bayshore business places
with the arrest of seven youths
Wednesday.
They will face trial Tuesday in
John 3. Kilbler’s justice court on
charges of misdemeanor theft.
The La Porte marshal today was
Investigating the Horlock ice store
burglary with, the hope he could
pin this felony charge on some of
the youths. ,
With the aid of Deputy Con-
stable Hance Busch he arrested
the youths after a chase early
Wednesday morning.
He drove up on them in the act
of attempting to burglarize the
Jett service station. He drove
past the two cars they were driv-
ing. After getting Busch, he
started after them. One of the
oars was overtaken at the intersec-
tion of the Spencer highway and
the Pasadena road.
Baker later spotted the other
car which bad returned and arrest-
ed the Anal three. They were all
taken to jail in Houston Wednes-
day after failing to make bond.
Baker said none of the youths
had any money, but all of them
At 12:30 noon a barbecue lunch
will be served.
At 2:30 p. m. special entertain-
ment from Beaumont and Houston
will be provided.
The baseball game at 3 p. m.
will be followed by a women’s soft
ball game between Barbers Hill
and Anahuac.
The Legion dance is scheduled to
start at 8 p. m.
Chambers county officials have
invited a delegation from the Tri-
Cities to be on hand for the event.
It is understood a short confer-
ence will be held with Judge Jack-
son during the day on progress of
the Houston-Port Arthur highway
and State Highway 146 in Cham-
bers county.
Lack of right-of-way has been,
given as the cause for failure of
the state to hard surface 146 this
year and to take further steps in
designating the Houston-Port Ar.
thur airline roadway.
The court house, built with aid
of a WPA grant, is air condition-
