For nealry two weeks peace of the

over Eureks's school trouble, but on

and for . time il seemed that another
fsr-reaching conflict would be inaugural.
ed.
On the day mentioned Will MoGarry
and Ed Rodgers, two students Of the
High School. aged about II years,
became involved in 9 quarrel over a
trivial matter on the way to school after
the dinner hour. Ii seems that Rogers,
who lives or Ruby Hill, brings his lunch
and remains in the schoolhouse to eat it
when the doors are locked after the
pupils are dismissed for the noon inter
mission. II is claimed that on several
occasions he has opened the doors for
some pupils and refused to extend the
same courtesy to others, and this led to
9 desire on the part Of some Of the K
cluded boys to seek revenge.
The disturbance was inaugurated on
the hill in the rear Of the SENTINEL
office, where 9 number Of the larger boys
wsylaid Rogers OF his way back to school
from q trip down town, and proceeded
to pelt him with snow balls. This treat
ment he resented. and in q short time he
and McGsrry had laid aside their sur
plus garments and were pummeling
each other, if not according to Marquis
Of Queensbury rules. then according to
some other regulations equally as efec-
tive. A large crowd soon gathered.
among them being Principal Gwartney,
who bad seen the beginning Of the fracas
from the schoolhouse. On his appear
ance upon the scene there was . lull in
hostilities, and he suggested to the
young men that they proceed to settle
their differences, and he would see them
after school. This was construed by the
combatants as 9 permission to continue
their fight, and this they were proceeding
to do when George Young. who had been
watching developments from his door
way. rushed up and began upbraiding
Mr.. Gwartney for not separating the
boys. He was requested to devote his
attention to his own affairs, but instead
OF complying he went down the street
and shortly returned with Deputy
Sheriff Fred Mannheim and Deputy
Constable ]. P. McElroy.
BY this time the belligerents had tired
Of their exercise, and on the invitation
Of the Principal were preparing to retire
to the sc~hoolhouse, but as a result Of an
exchange Of words Mr.. Young grasped
Mr.. Gwartney by the throat, and almost
Immediately the nasal organ Of the former
came into contact with the Principals
right fist. This was the signal for another

bloows the person Of Ed Rogers. who
had Q little the best Of the encounter with
McGarry.

parties that ID was time for school and
hostilities were suspended, MI. Gwart-
ney warned George Young, Jr., not to

man persisting. Trustee Kind and County
Superintendent Bartlett were summoned,
the result being that Young was
temporarily suspended.
