MANDAN, OAK, March ga special
from Little Heart township. ten miles from
this city, tells of murderous attack upon
a school teacher named Gerety. a man OF
20 years, by man aged % named Slaugh-
ter. As special favor the school board
had allowed Slaughter to attend school, but
owing TO bad behavior, the board resolved
TO dismiss him, and member of the board
named Wilson so informed him. Slaughter
rode up to the school house and without
morning or provocation began to belabor
Gerety's head with piece of wood big
enough to fell an OK. The old man warded
off some of the blows with a book. but
Slaughter by means of the club and brass
knuckles succeeded in cutting Gerety's
face and head with fearful gashes and
knocked out eight teeth. A sixteen year
old boy seized Slaughter, who pulled re-
volver and threatened to shoot anybody who
interfered. Gerety lies in precarious con-
dition. The sheriff went out to-day to ar
rest Slaughter.
