Eeheading a School Teacher.

LAFAYETTE, July 1O.-Some time ago charges
were made against Professor Mclean, principal
of the high-school, which seriously reflected on
his management of that institution and his treat
ment of scholars especially young ladies AT a
session of seven of the school trustees it was de-
termined to remove the high school from the Ford
school building to the public library. This is
considered graceful way of beheading Mclean,
though the reason given for the removal is that
the Ford school is overcrowded.

lady, Miss Lizzie by name, has had num-

News came to the ears of Mr. Couch.
however, that Pugh was already possessed
OF ~ many wives aS Il man is permitted to
have, unless he be Il resident of Utah, so
he cmphatically forbade the marriage and
warned Pugh that his visits TO his house
would be no longer permitted. The low
ers, however, kept up clandcStinc com
muniCationS for some time, and finally
the father learned that on certain night
Pugh, with number of friends. was COM
ing after the girl with the expressed
intention OF taking her at all hazards.
The old gentleman had no notion OF be-
Ing out-gcncralcd, though, so ON the night
in question he took the girl To meeting
which was being held in the neighbor-
hood, and also took with him his truSty
shotgun, which he placed near 10y him at
the meeting.
Presently pugh came in and walked
near TO whore the young lady was sitting
when the father suddenly brought his gun
into shooting position and To all appear
ancc was ready to treat his would-bc SON
in-law TO dose OF cold lead Pugh saw
his danger, however, and beat husty re-
treat, leaving the iratc father master OF
the situation.
The upshol of the matter is that Couch
has been arrested for carrying gun into
a religious meeting, and, the officers are
after Pugh with two warrants charging
him with SANDER and also with carrying II
pistol. Pugt has left, however, and the
country is likely to be rid of his presence
in the future.
