The school board at it's meeting yes
terday devoted some time to the dis
cusslon OF a case of unusual violence
and cruelty among school children. 1t
was reported to the board that a ten
yCar-old girl, the daughter of Mr.. Win
dell, who lives at All north Fifth street.
had been set upon by several girls and
beaten so hat she had to take to her
bed. The board decided that as the
affair took place after school hours and
off the grounds of the school it had no
jurisdiction. 1t is possible that some
legal steps will be taken. though it is
understood that the father of the girl
is DESTROYS only that the assailants of
his daughter should be properly pun
ished.
There have been many exaggerated
reports of the assault. and the condi-
ton of the injured girl is proved to be
not quite as serious as rumor had it.
Nevertheless. she was hurt so badly
that Dr.. Hamilton was summoned to
make an examination of her injuries.
She is reported to te better today. and
in no danger of serious results.

The county commissioners had not
been notified that "A mass meeting was
to be held in the court house last night.
and when the people interested in the

there they found the court room too
cold to be endured for long. Accord
ingly an adjournment was taken to
next Wednesday evening when the
proper arrangements will be made for
the heating and lighting of the court
room for the occasion.

present, all of whom are deeply inter

Mrs. Garlock was chosen as the
chairman of the meeting and Prof Slos-

time had discouraged discussion and
it was moved that when the meeting

that in the meantime a com

upon which the work of starting the

motion was carried and Mrs. Garlock
named the following committee: f.

On the Ground.

The trouble arose over some childish
differences in school. On her way
home shortly after school was out for
the day, the little girl was attacked
near the corner of Fourth and Fremont
streets. One girl, much larger than
she, hit her on the back of the head
just about the base of the brain, with
a beer bottle picked up on the street
for the purpose. The assaulted girl
fell to the ground and was then set up
on by other girls and kicked and rough.
~ handled to the utmost of their abil-
ity. In the melee one of the attacking
girls drew a hat pin and thrust it into
the thigh of the PROSTATE girl. Then
they all left her to make her way home
as best she could.
The assault was witnessed by a wo-
man in n Of the houses near which
it occurred. Her statement is said to
c~orroborate what the injured girl re-
ported to her father and which he re-
ported in turn to the school board. 1t
was thought at first that the girls in
juries were very serious, and the re-
port this morning was hat she would
be crippled. DR.. Hamilton, however,

LOVED THE STAGE
 BETTER THAN LIFE
James B. Potter Secures Divorce
 From His Wayward Wife.
WILFUL DISSIPATION CHARGED
The Husband Has Been Given Custody of the Daughter While Mrs. Potter Can Continue Her Theatri-
 cal Career

Newport R. l., June 4.-James Brown Potter of Newport was granted absolute divorce from his wife, Cora Urquhart Pot ter. with custody of her daughter in the appellate division of the supreme court sitting here today. The petition which MT. Potter presented to the court prayed TOT a divorce, alleging willful deserttion Tor period of more than five years.
 In his deposition James Brown Potter testified that he was married to Mary Cora Urquhart in New Orleans in 1877. They went to New York to live, where daugh- ter was born in 1879. They lived together happily until 1886, when Mrs Potter, her daughter mother and sister went abroad merely for the summer. Before going Mrs Potter spoke to her husband several times about adopting the stage profession ally, but was refused. When abroad the subject was renewed by correspondence, Mrs Potter urging her husband to con- sent without success. Then MT. Potter saw a cable announcement that Mrs. Pot ter had signed with the Haymarket theater, London. He immediately cabled her that she must cancel the engagement. Then followed correspondence by cable, in which Mrs. Potter said she had set her heart on her art and would not comply, telling her nuSDanu that ner name WOulu be beloved from the Atlantic to the Pa cifc, and he would be proud of her. He demanded that she should keep off the stage. Mrs. Potter replied that she loved her art better than life and would not give it up.
 She said that these were the days of the dark age, when women were slaves. In correspondence with MT. Potter she. said that his family name was nothing to her: she hated the very name of his people, and that MT. Potters uncle Henry (meaning Bishop Potter) was all fuss and feathers, name and family pride. Their daughter remained with her mother until the latter came to America, when MT. Potter took her to Tuxedo.
 Mrs. Potter visited there to see her daughter, but was received only guest, not mistress of the house. Again she saw the daughter on the streets of New York some years later and would not have known her had it not been for nurse who had been in the family since the birth of the child. During the absence of the fam fly Mrs. Potter's letters averaged one in two years.
