Mr.. Terhune.
With . deepening expression OF horror on
the young mans face came the reply, Yes,
real fighting and blood. Oh. II was swfulp'
The young man was 1. u. Landrine who IA
employed in the shoe aud Leather Bank In
New York. and lives at haywood. mile from
Hackensack. At haywood he is so highly
esteemed that he was made trustee OF School
No. "a The patrons OF the school are divided
among three neighborhoods: Spring Valley
which 10 principally agricultural and has
had the schoolhouse since It was built;
Rochelle Park. agricultural and mercantile.
and haywood. mainly mercantile. Among
Maywood's citizens are J. l. Jaeger. the rich
+ Breckenridge. q member OF the New Jersey
State Republican Executive Com mttee and OF
the Wilcox silver-plate Company in New York ;
Philip Thoms. jewelry manufacturer. and
Gustav Peetz, q land speculator.
A few months ago haywood concluded that
II wanted School No. 2S within It's boundaries.
and the change was authorized. Spring VAL
ley and part OF Rochelle Park have since al
legged that the result was brought about by
fraudulent votes. The trustees OF the district
up to last evening were George Grassick and
Huyler voorhs OF Spring Valley and Mr.. Lam
drine. The valley people wanted to secure
the third trustee and for this purpose nonii-
mated William Arnold. haywood put up
Mr.. Landrine again. The dispute about the
site OF the school increased the excitement OF
the canvass An attempt was made to hold
the election last night at the old schoolhouse.
The FIRST contest was over the CHARM anship
OF the meeting. haywood won by vote OF 80
for J. II. Cumberland to 40 for William A. Kipp.
The first ballot for school trustee was taken In
comparative silence and resulted In tie.
Spring Valley had been reinforced and the
vote was SO to 81. A second vote was prompt
ly started. Only few names had been called
when. as James Murphy was about to vote.
some one cried out:
II challenge the Irishman. He Amt
citizen"
As Mr.. Murphy could not produce his
papers. his vote was rejected. and q wild shout
went up from the farmers. as this promised to
give them o majority OF one. Their jubilation
was very brief. for q moment later George
Quinn challenged old August Gunloch. The
latter is q constable and for thirty years has
lived In Spring Valley.
To be challenged was moro than he could
stand. and he felt successfully for Quinn's nose.

an instants cessation Of the fighting. during
which Chairman Cumberland cried:

II was at this point that Mr.. Landrlns rushed
out with the surglng crowd and made an al
most hysterical ride to Hackensack, carrying
the news to Superintendent Terhune.
The Msywood people think that they will
gain the victory as the County ySuperintend dent
will now have to appoint a trustee and is pretty
sure to select Mr.. Landrine Several gentle
men remained In the schoohouse after the
meeting to clear away evidences of the con-
