CONFUSION AT THE HIGH school


Malicious Mischief Of II Gang OF Boys
Cnuscs Grcnt Trouble.
Some misguided boys who attend the High
school INDUCED on Tuesday night In a bit of
useless deviltry that deranged the entire
school for the day. When school was called
yesterday morning every book in the build
ing was found stacked up on the platform
in the assembly room in confusion. There
are $40 pupils in the school and the compile
ment of books that each requires Is large,
making a pile that covered the platform to
a depth of about one foot. Investigation
showed that the electric system of the build
ing had been tampered with in the hope of
making II add TO the general confusion. The
main wires of the call bells had been tapped
and attached to the piano in the assembly
room with the purpose that when any of the
bells were touched the piano would sound a
few discordant notes. and when the piano
was played the movement of the keys would
set all of the bells jangling. A LARGE call
bell had been removed from the wall and
concealed in the piano This plan, however,
was a complete failure. Prof. Hayden
evolved a plan which made it possible for
a proper redistribution OF the books during
the day. His arrangements for doing the
work enabled 1t to be completed before the
session closed
Entrance to the building was effected by
removal of an old window on the first floor.
1t was known during the early part OF the
evening tnal some Sucn fald was COntem-
plated One gang of boys intended invading
the building and doing the work on Wednes-
day night. This came to the knowledge of
another lot of boys and they made the raid
one night before the time fixed by the de-
signers,
During the afternoon a committee of
High school pupils adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas The building used, for the de;
partment of the High school of Council
| Bluffs city schools was entered during the
| night intervening between the 22d day OF
| December, 1896. and the 23d day, and the
| property of pupils maliciously disarranged
| and damaged: and
Whereas This has caused a serious inter
| ruption of the work of the school and may
| cast a serious reflection upon the good
name of the school; and
Whereas, We. as members of the senior
| class and committees from the several
! grades constituting the High school depart
ment do disapprove of such conduct
| therefore, be 1t

was brought to police headquarters yester-

agent at the depot. The little girl had
been out to Denver to visit an aunt, and

where she lived, but did know that her father
worked at one of the packing houses here,
The police succeeded in locating the father
in a short time, and the girl was taken to
