SERIOUSLY HURT BY HAZING.
princeton Sophomore Pelted by Class

Princeton. n. j., Jan. 2S-From pres
ent appearances some of the members
of the sophomore class in Princeton
College are likely very soon to find
themselves in serious trouble, as ah
indirect result of the recent snowstorm
and of their natural proclivities for
hazing.
Byron Kyser Hunsberger, a young
student, was lying unconscious in his
bed this morning from injuries receiv-
ed in n furious onslaught with snow
balls made upon him near the rail-
road station by the sophomores yes
terday. President Patton requested
the entire class to remain after chapei
this morning. when the others were
dismissed, and when they finally came
out there We're many long faces to be
seen in their ranks, for ne had given
them a severe lecture for their mis-
conduct.
strange thing about the case is
that Hunsberger is not a freshman.
He is sophomore, but he is unpopular
With some of his classmates. because
he is suspected of having given infor-
nation to the faculty concerning sons
of their misdeeds Members of the
Junior class, too, show little sympathy
for him in his present distress, as IL is
declared that three of their number
were recently suspended in consequence
of information given by him.
The nature of the young mans inju-
ries is such that il seems impossible
they could have been inflicted by mis-
siles of plain snow, no matter how
tightly packed, and il is believed that
some of the snowballs simply served
to conceal pieces of ice, If not stones.
The sophomores had accumulated
great heaps of snowhalls on the cam
pus during the day. and when the
freshmen came across the open space
they were mercilessly pelted. AS fresh
men became scarce after a time the
sccond-year men transferred the bulk
of their supply of missiles 10 a point
near the railroad station, and there
waited for victims. Severed freshmen
passed on their way 10 and from the
station. and were forced to run the
gauntlet. which they did without being
much hurt, and then Hunsberger APP
peared, coming from the college.
As he came within range, Hunsber-
ger was greeted with a chorus of de-
risive howls and boots. and then his
classmates began To lombard him He
was struck over and over again. but
did not turn back. and apparently paid
no more attention To the flying balls
than he would to SO many snuwflakes.
When he turned the corner by the sta
tion the men closed in behind him and
threw a perfect Vollcy of SnowbaIls af-
ter him, fully a score seeming to hit
him about the head and shoulders at
the same moment.
He fell in a heap by the side of the
fence, and then. recovering himself.
beat a hurried retreat without further
molestation. as the final discharge had
exhausted the ammunition of his tor
mentors. II was not generally known
about the college how badly he had
been hurt until this forming.

STORM SWEPT PENNINGTON.
Was In Hurricanes Path and Wind
Still Continues Fitfully.
Correspondence.


Pennington, Dec 1O.-Reports of the
damage caused by the recent hurricane
are still coming in. From all that can
be learned Pennington was in the center
of the storm-swept district, and upon
this town the storm gods concentrated
their fury. Today, after the wind had
spent itself in other parts OF the county,
heavy gusts occasionally swept down
from the east, threatening to add to the
losses already sustained.
More damage has been done in Farm
ington than in any other town in this
county. In addition to hay having been
damaged, as reported from Kaysville and
elsewhere. several buildings have been
wrecked and others unroofed. One of
Simon BambergerS immense ice houses
went down during the gale, portions of it
being carried over the track into the lake.
Some of the Lagoon buildings We're con-
siderably damaged.
Joseph Walkers barn was blown down
and smashed to pieces.
A loaded freight car was blown off the
Rio Grande track and turned completely
upside down. s
Among the queer sights to be seen on
Pennington streets are two wagons, load
ed with hay, which have been picked UP
and turned upside down, the rack and
wagon being now on top of the hay.
A haystack belonging to Ezra T. Clark
was tipped over, and some cattle that had
sought shelter behind it were buried and
killed No.
Some of Farmingtoh's strongest build
ings shook and tottered during the hurri-
cane and occasionally brick chimney
would crash down upon the roof and add
terror to the inmates.
