THERE seems to be all sorts of brutal people
in the world. In the public schools of Newark,
one of the lady teachers has been in the habit
of putting soap in the scholars mouths to pun
ish them for lying. She recently overdid her
self by putting ashes in the mouth of boy
named Frank Gorby, which caused his mouth
to bleed and become very sore The parents Of
the scholars have become cognizant of the situ-
alton, and are very indignant over the matter.
The affair occasions great deal of comment.
A bloody and disgraceful fight occurred be-
tween some farmers of Rush Township, Tusca-
rawas County. An old feud has existed be-
tween the brothers, Benjamin and Josiah
Saunders, Stephen johnson, II. Parish, and
Jake Edwards. On Saturday they came to-
gether, and the two Saunders boys attacked
johnson, giving him a terrible beating. A
sled standard was used and Johnson's head
laid open to the brain. He also received
dangerous cut over the face, and other serious
injuries. Parish had forbidden Edwards to
cross his premises, but on Friday Edwards
boldly crossed the forbidden ground, when the
two met. A fight resulted, and the sled stand
ard WAS again brought into use. Edwards
face was disfgured almost beyond recognition,
and his head, beaten to a jelly. At last ac-
counts there had been no arrests.
