1HSIy DiIGeT I00llQSS CHaI are DoluS Gu
gendered on both sides of the contrO-
versy. Instead of the fight being con-
tinued with increasing bitterness it
ought to be permitted to quiet down:
for neither faction can gain anything
socially, morally. or in an educational
sense by continuing the same.
1t seems that the latest phase of the
trouble was brought on Wednesday of
Schools Harrison, accompanied by
Frank Marsh, a member of the county
board of examiners, visiting the ELL
| inwoOd schools and examining the
books of the board. While it may be
the duty of MIR. Harrison to do this, it
certainly was not an opportune time
for it.
When they reached the school the
students would not hear the superin-
tendent speak, and they were orderd
out of the building. While in a store
room to examine the books of the school
board, which were kept by the clerk,
some one entered by the back door and
threw paper bag containing eggs
onto Mr.. Harrison. Then others came
in, and both Harrison and Marsh were
assaulted. Some threats were made,
and the town marshal searched the
superintendent for concealed weapons
but found none. The two men were
then requested to get out of town
and they got.
While the feeling against Mr.. Har-
rison land against Marsh who of1icious-
ly got himself mixed up in the mudle)
is practically unanimous il. the town,
we believe that on sober thought all
citizens will agree that the extremes
reached last Wednesday were mistake
and harmful to the town.
On Wednesday evening fire started
in the basement, or cellar, under the
Advocate Office, and the Tribune of this
city intimated that the fire was started
by the same element which assaulted
Harrison and Marsh, out of a spirit of
vindlctiveness against Mr.. Wilkinson
of the Advocate. But the most reput-
able citizens Of the town refute the
insinuatiOn, and declare that the fire
was accidentai. The fire was discov-
cred before any damage was done.
LATER-The county superintendent
has revoked the Certificate of Chas.
Johnson. who had been engaged as
principal of the Ellinwood schools,
for cause, It's said that Mr.. Johnson as
principle and Mr.. Lockhart as assistant
The muddle, therefore, grows "wusser

why the farmers of Barton county are
in better circumstances financially than
they are here in Pawnee. It is readi-

wealth.-Larned Tiller and Toiler.
