SEARCHING PARTY SEEKS BODIES OF TWO BOYS IN LAKE.
Brothers Believed to Have Drowned During Storm On Cross Lake.
SHREVEPORT, April 1. - Believing their two sons drowned in Caddo lake while a gale was whipping the waters into the rough, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Dunbar of Mooringsport, friends and officers today were carrying out a search of the lake for the bodies.
The youths, Lloyd [sic] Alvin Dunbar, 12, and his brother, Harry Earl, 10, left home before breakfast yesterday morning to row a small boat in the lake. They failed to return.
The father went in search of them and found the older boy's hat and the younger son's cap floating in the water about 200 feet apart near the boat at the spot where the boys were to start out.
Searching parties worked all day yesterday evening to recover the bodies, believing that the boys met with misadventure at the boat, Lloyd Allen and Harry Earl were two of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar. Their father is a salesman.
