      MR. AND MRS. CARLOS LeBLANC DROWN IN BAYOU AT LAFAYETTE; SEARCHERS FIND BODIES; DOG KEEPING WATCH
      -------------

      Police Believe Woman Fell in Water and Her Husband Attempted to Rescue Her, Both Meeting Death; Fishing Tackle, Hats and Baskets Found Near Spot Where Remains Were Recovered; C.J. LeBlanc, One of the Brothers of the Dead Man, Lives in Rayne; Double Funeral will be Held Tomorrow Morning at Broussard; Deceased Leaves Large Number of Relatives.
      -------------

      A fishing trip ended fatally for Mr. and Mrs. Carlos LeBlanc, of Lafayette, who were drowned in Bayou Vermilion, in an unaccountable manner, some time yesterday. The body of Mrs. LeBlanc was found in the bayou about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, not far from the Baldwin Lumber Company's plant. It was floating facing downward when it was taken out of the water and removed to an undertaking parlor in Lafayette.

      At 8 o'clock last night, a number of men in a boat, were searching the bayou for the body of Mr. LeBlanc. It was found about 300 yards from the spot where the woman's body was discovered. It was on the bottom of the bayou. One of the members of the searching party dived in the bayou and brought the body to the surface of the water.

      The fishing tackle, hats, baskets and other things brought to the banks of the stream by Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc, were found close to where the bodies were recovered.

      The police in Lafayette are of the opinion that Mrs. LeBlanc must have fallen in the water and that her husband went after her, both meeting their death.

      A collie dog went along with Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc, who left their home in Lafayette early in the morning. Later in the day the dog came to the LeBlanc home, as if to give warning of what had happened, but the folks in the neighborhood paid no heed to him. When the bodies of the woman and man were found, the dog was keeping watch over their belongings of Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc on the banks of the bayou.

      Mr. LeBlanc, who was 32 years old, is survived by his mother, Mrs. Clet LeBlanc, four sisters, Mrs. P.H. Landry, Mrs. Frank Daigle, Mrs. Walton Tanner and Mrs. Marshall Doucet, all of Lafayette. Five brothers also survived. The are: H.P. LeBlanc and P.C. LeBlanc, of Shreveport, Albert LeBlanc of Port Arthur, Texas, F.P. LeBlanc of San Antonio, Texas, and C.J. LeBlanc, of Rayne, who went to Lafayette and assited in the search for the bodies.

      Mrs. LeBlanc, who was 40 years old, is survived by a brother, Alton Guidry, of Houston, Texas, and a sister, Mrs. Vic Guidry, of Beaumont, Texas.

      The double funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at Broussard, La.
