School Boys Fight

Judge Feagin was the arbiter in a school boy fight yesterday morning, which had resulted much more seriously than school boy fights usually do Robert Badly, who was one of the participants, was unable to get to the court room, being laid up at home with three stabls from a knife, the result of the fight. Albert She'll the other boy, was present, but his tears showed that he was scared half to death. Both of the boys are about 13 years old, and both are members of the upper third grade of Powell school, taught by Miss Jennie Green. Both of the boys fathers were also present, as were three of young Shells witnesses.
 These boys testified in young Shells be- half, that the trouble had begun on the playground, when Badly hit Shell in the gack for some unknown cause. Afterward in the basemnt of the school building, there was more trouble. between the two boys, when Badly cursed Shell and struck him several times. Tn eboys said that all this time Shell was trying to avoid trouble, and only threatened to tell the teacher but even this, they say, he failed to do.
 As soon school was out in the after noon, the fight was renewed Badly again DSiliS lhS deiTeSSOI IHe WllnSSSeS ISSU- fled that Badly struck Shell again, and was reaching down to get some rocks, when Shell jumped on him with a knife and stabbed him three times Shell then started to run, and as he did so the boy who had been cut, struck him a hard blow in the back with a rock. Shell ran on home and told his father, and yesterday morning MT. Shell and MT. Badly came down to the court to settle the matter
 MT. Badly said that he thought that the case could be settled without taking the evil dence, and that none of his sons witnesses were present. Judge Feagin offered to con- tinue the case until this morning, if the prosecutors desired, but said that from the testimony that had already been taken he thought that young Shell was clearly justi- fled in protecting himself when he saw the other boy getting rocks, especially when he had been trying for some time to avaid a difficulty. After the two fathers had con- suited, however, they decided that it would be best to let the whole case drop which was done on the payment of the costs, $2 50, by MT Shell.

MINE BOSSES
Met Sunday Afternoon-Condemned Bill
 Requiring Re-Examination.

On Sunday afternoon in the Masonic hall the mine bosses of the state held an inn portant meeting to take some action on the proposed law requiring every mine boss in the state to stand an examination every two years In his report to the legisla- ture last November Chief Mine Inspector J. deB. Hooper made such a recommenda- ton, and it was to discuss this proposed law that the meeting was called. There were twenty-two of the mine bosses of the state present with Sam Alsop of Pratt City, presiding.
 At first it seemed to be the sense of the meeting that they condemn the bill pro- posed by MT. Hooper, without giving that gentleman who was waiting on the out side, an opportunity to explain his posi- tion. After full discussion, however, he was invited in.
 MT. Hooper said that he had no special reason for insisting that the legislature pass the two year re-eXamination bill but that he would insist on bill giving the chief mine inspector authority to require the boss of any gaseous mine whom he thought incompetent, to be re-examined by the state board of examiners who are ap-
 
 a law would fill all the requirements of the two year. examination bill which was, orig fnally proposed as 1t would enable the tn- spectors to remove an incompetent boss or rather give him trial to prove his com potency.
 After MT. Hooper left the meeting the dis cuss,on was renewed. L. w. Johns of fered a resolution that the meeting endorse a bill giving the chief mine insuector au- thority to require man whom he thinks incompetent to stand another examination, but that the examination be held before a committee of ten other mine bosses. This resolution was adopted.
 When seen after the meeting MT. Hooper said that he could not agree with the min CTS on their proposition to let a committee often bosses conduct the examination of bosses suspected of incompetency. The board of examiners from which each boss originally received his certificate of com potency, was certainly the body that should examine the same boss for ncompetency
