During April 5183 arrests
were made by Houston Police

ted to the fact that no arrests

ment led in the number of ar-
rests 3693 violators of traffic
laws having been arrested. Of
this number, 380 were caught
for speeding, 42 for careless
driving and 94 for having no
chauffeur’s license.

rests 4763 were white men, 99
white women, 275 negro men
and 46 negro women.
Six arrests were made for
murder 11 for burglary, 25 for
j theft, 27 for gambling, 27 for
i bootlegging and 19 for fight-

Sheriff Lavaca County. Texas.
The rise of the river and
creeks and of this section due
to the recent rains brought
the alligators out of their hid-
ing places the first of the week
and one was captured and one
killed. Two boys sons, of D.
W. M. Marshall living south of
town, succeeded in taking a
six foot alligator on Skull
Creek last Sunday. They
brought it home alive but la-
ter killed it and will have its
hide tanned. The boys say
they know where a larger one
is located in this creek and ex-
pect to get him at an early
date. They say the prospec-
tive captive will measure over
ten feet in length.
Tuesday the Herder Farm
boys shot.one through the
head with a rifle and carried
it to the Gunderlach home
it measuring 8 feet 3 inches in
length. They reported seeing
several others but were unable
to get any of them at that
time. —Colorado Citizen

Advance.
Troop 2 followed suit of
Troop 1 by taking their first
overnight hike to the Sycamore
Pool region. All members pre-
sent reported a jimmy time,
several of the boys passing the
ice wagon and keeping the
other few from sleeping or
snoring, which ever the balan-
ce of the crowd preferred.
While the matter of sleep Is
under discussion— The first
night, no matter under how
strict a discipline it may be, is
always novel in as much as it
seems to be natural for boys
to keep the other fellowr awake
Thus, a person is lucky if he
gets as much as four, or per-
haps five hours of sleep. Gra-
dually, however, they tire of
the sport, so that, on the se-
cond or third hike, all boys
fall to sleep naturally enough
regardless of the strange and
unfamiliar surroundings which
greatly handicap the good fel-
low from sleep.
Troop 1 claimed a very quiet
Sunday, no regular outdoor ac-
tivities taking place on account
of it being Mother’s Day. A
few' of the Troop turned out at
the High School campus w here
formation instructions were
had from Sr. Patrol Leader
Everett Mallick. According to
latest reports, all Boy Scouts
are expected to participate in
Memorial Day service on Sun-
day, May 31st. Both Troops
are drilling under Sr. Patrol
Leader Everett Mallick of
Troop 1 and are expected to
be in fine trim by the 31st,
when they will decorate the
graves of all war veterans.
Saturday was Pamphlet Day
for Troop 1. Troop 2 failing to
show up with the required
members, Troop 1 came for-
ward with a double number
and distributed all assigned
Salvation Army pamphlets. —
