Larry Joe King

  Larry Joe King, 14, colored, of Shreveport, was drowned in the
boat launching area near Converse, in Toledo Bend Lake, while
swimming, about 4:05 p.m., Saturday.

  According to Lt. Alfice Brumley of the Sheriff's Department, the
youth suddenly sank. Lowell Price of Bossier City, and 10 year
old Larry Jackson witnessed the sinking.

  The body was recovered at 4:35, and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
was vainly attempted by Kenneth A. Isgitt of Sulphur, a Mrs.
Sistrunk of Converse, and a Mr. Peterson of Shreveport, according
to Brumley, who said they did "a mighty fine job".

  The dead lad's stepmother, Mrs. Mattie King was present during
the happening.
