High School Hazlng.

One of the conspirators engaged in
the unlawful practice of hazing their
companions, by heaping upon them
indignities in the way of beating and
compelling them to submit to various
insults and Ill treatment, beneath an
honest, spirited boy to accept, or one
entitled to respect to offer, makes a
most astounding statement OF the
practice among the boys OF Cresco
High School. From this confession
of one of the hazers it seems that one
of the pupils was enticed from his
home in the evening, was soundly
beaten by members of the gang who
had contemplat ted taking their victim
to the public school grounds, stripping
him of his clothing and hiding it, and
leaving him lashed to the flag staff In
tile yard. Another lad was enticed
from his home, beaten, and compelled
to lie down PROSTATE in the bottom OF
the trench on the street for putting
In steam heat, covered with water
and mud. The boys engaged as thell
names were given us, were sons OF the
most respected families in Cresco, ane
should they know of the conduct O.
their boys, so unbecoming and so un
manly, they would be greatly mortified
and would visit upon their unworth!
and thoughtless boys a most seVer'
castigation. We trust this warning
will be sufficient to deter them from
future demonstrations of the kind
assuring them Of this truth; that un
lawful conspiracies made with con
federates to do violent and unlawful
act, will nearly always have one amon
the confederates who will divulge tn
crime.
