The School Boys Get the MelOns-Tho
big Boys" Get Left.

Watermelons are ripe hereabouts. One
night this week party Of young men who
have not forgotten their school.boy days
planned scheme to visit Senator Wester.
fields watermelon patch at the Ophir mill
and help themselves to the fruit. In some
manner some Of the smaller young men. who
are now enjoying their school boy days ''got
onto" the plan of the ''big boys" and sug.
gested that they be taken into the thieving
scheme. This was agreed to at first, and all
was arranged to make the raid on certain
night. The evening named cume around and
so did the school. boys, but IN the meantime
the "big boys" had concluded that it was not
best to take the young boys with them, fear j..
ing that it would corrupt their morals and
possibly make them sick, and above all fear.
ing that they might be given away. Accord.
ngly when all met the "big boys" said that
they had thrown up the scheme for that night
and would not make the raid until some
other eve. The young ROSTERS smelt rat al
once, but saying nothing, they skipped
around the corners and made for their render

rob the patch on their own hook. Prepare
.tions being made they started for he-grounds,
arrived in safety, gathered what fruit they
wanted and hid in the sagebrush and sand
where they downed the melons in manner
that would make Pute sad. About the
time they were ready to return to town sever
al dark forms were seen gliding along the
road and through the field and the boys
thought the Senator had surrounded them.
An exclamation Of disgust from one of the
"big boys" as he fell over sage bush, how.
ever, led to the identity Of the figures. Then
ii was the school.boys time to have their fun.
They waited until the young men had reach
ed the patch and loaded themselves down
with ripe melons; then with war whoop
that would have frightened an Apache they
charged on the "big boys" There was a
scramble for life. The "big boys" were good
runners, but bitches, wire fences and tall
bushes seemed to rise up before them fright.
fully frequent. One of them went into a
ditch, another into wire fence and third
fell over bush, while still fourth who was
determined to hang onto his melon, dropped
it and fell over it, smashing it muchly and
soiling the entire front of his best suit OF
clothes. They reached town, however,
not very badly skinned up and related to
close friends their frightful experience with
the Senator's body guard, but did not ask
anybody if they liked watermelon. Better
luck next time.
