HAZERS AT
LAFAYETTE.

New York, Feb. 10. -Ernes ST
Vaughn, Of Brooklyn. who vent to
Lafayette College, Easton, Pa, last
September, hns returned home, q
ply steal wreck as the result OF a
severe hazing given him shortly be-
fore he left college.
Vaughn was held under a pump
and his head was soaked with cold
water until his tormentors were
tired Of working the pump handle.
Then he was compelled to walk a
mile out in the country and back
again, bare headed and drenched
with water. He caught cold and
his lungs were affected. His con-
dition grew SO serious he had 10
come home.
The information obtained by DR..
John A, Vaughn, the father. shows
that the hazing was brutal. One
night at midnight some Of the upper
class men, fearing that Vaughn
would oversleep himself. hired 4 big
wagon and went to Vaughn's room
dragged him out of bed, carried
hun out, pitched him into wagon
aud tied him hand aud loot. They
dragged out five other freshmen in
the same way and drove out into
the country. Five miles IRON Eas-
ton the wagon was stopped and the
first victim was pitched out at the
roadside, still tied hands and feet.
"A mile further another freshman
was left on the roadside. After
that at every mile post fres Imam
was thrown out, When the supply
OF bound and gagged freshmen had
exhausted, the hilarious upper
class men drove back to college.
1t was bitter cold night, and
that some of the victims did not
freeze to death was not the fault OF
the hazers The freshmen were tied
Is tightly as the best sailors in
college could twist 4 knot, aud it
took hard work to get loose. By
wriggllng and squirming Young
Vaughn got out Of his bonds and
started for the college. Another
freshman, who had been lett at the
eleventh mile post had escaped
earlier and was coming down the
road unloosing the ropes that held
his brother victims prisoners.
Vaughn finally reached college
tired half to death and the worst
looking spectacle that ever walked
on the campus He does not cont
plain about any OF his hazing, He
says: when a new student is too
fresh the boys train him down d
little, guess ! was too fresh. "
DR.. Vaughn understands that his
son got the worst treatment at the
college, When Vaughn first enter
ed Lafayette he made mistake.
He whipped an upper class man
who had called him out. This dis
pleased the entire upper class, and
after that they made the Brooklyn
boy S life miserable.
Vaughn was an able athlete and
we'll capable Of caring for himself.
but he was helpless with whole
class against him. lie had been an
athlete in Brooklyn a long time
and had played on the Champion
ship basket ball team of Pratt, the
team that defeated Yale and all the
big universities.
One time the boys hazed Vaughn
by filing his hair with tar, and the
boy Ind to have his hair cut to get
free from the sticky stuff.

KILLED WIFE OF
A BARTENDER.
Fatal Outcome OF Attempt
by Masked Men to
Close a Joint"

Milwood, Kan, Neb. l9.-In a
raid on joint" here by twenty
masked men, heavily armed, late
last night, Mrs. Rose Hudson, wife of
the bartender, was instantly killed.
William Webb, one of the raiders,
was shot through one arm, and two
Or three of his companions were
slightly wounded. Young farmers
composed the party. Two arrests
were made today and much excite.
ment prevails over the prospect OF a
still more serious collision between
the factions.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night
two men entered the "ioint" which
is said to be owned'by Mrs. Michael
Lochner. Warming had been served
on the propretress to Cease business
yesterday, but compliance was re-
fused. When the men entered they
ordered drinks which were at once
served by Bartender Hudson.
One Of the men raped loudly on
the bar and at this signal about
twenty more men rushed into the
place. All carried arms and wore
masks. Half dozen shotguns were
raised and discharged into the ceiling
apparently to demoralize the keepers
of the place. Two men rushed upon
Hudson with guns lcveled at his
head. He grasped the barrels and
pushed them aside just as they ex.
ploded. Hudson slipped to the floor.
Just then Mrs. Hudson burst open
the rear door and entered. She dash
ed toward her husband whom she,
supposed to have been Shot. Hardly
had she crossed half the intervening
space when another gun was dis
charged point blank at her head.
The whole top of her skull was
blown away, and Hudson, regaining
his feet bore her to the rear room
where she died.
Ten men are said to have been
waiting under arms to help defend
the "ioint' from the expected raid;
but when the band entered the place
and began shooting the defenders be-
came panic-stricken and decamped.
When the raiders saw Mrs. Hud-
son fall dying they, too, became
frightened and hastily quilted the
place without attempting to destroy
the liquors or fixtures
Sheriff Everhardy, of Lcavcnworth
was quickly notified of the raid and
today arrested John and Henry Will
son, farmers, charged with participa-
ton in the affair. Several more az
rests are expected.
