KENTUCKY SCHOOL BoYs-The young
bloOds OF Harrison county don't take kindly
TO the wholesome use of the rO1. y teacher
named Joseph Judy, in the Clsyville pre-
clnct of that county, while attempting 10
correct a scholar named Edward Bryant, was
fired upon by a brother of the young hope
iul, the ball passing across Judy's breast, In
hicing painful wound. Edward then bore
a hand, stabbing the teacher In the right
shoulder, inflicting wound which would
have proved fatal had the knife blade ranged
downward instead OF upward. The Difficult
ty originated In the attempted correction Of
another brother few days before, In which
the teacher had been worSted, and when = 4
ward had been "hauled uD' a more violent
attack on the teacher was made the orier
OF the day In the Bryant family. Both OF the
young men have been arrested, and 10 is 10
be hoped will have meted ont To them = sal
utaTy punishment. Edward Bryant is abOut
sixteen years OF age, and the brother who dlt
the shooting is not eighteen. Mr. judy is
spoken OF as OF good character 6nd standing.
and most discreet and worthy young man.
