skunk OIL In school

Some little trouble has been ex-
perienced at the High school dur
ing the past few weeks and has re-
suited in the suspension of two of
the students. Some time ago a bottle
of skunk oil was taken in the as
sembly hall as the classes were
changing and for several days it was
impossible to ascertain who the
culprit was. On threat of expulsion
however one of the students at last
let the secret out and the boy was
forced to read an apology before the
school. The next day a second bottle
was found and two of the boys sus-
pected to be connected with the
matter were expelled. Considerable
feeling has been aroused among the
students who believe the guilty per-
son has not yet been caught. Supt.
Finley says the boys cannot return to
school until the culprit has been
located and Developments are
awaited rather anviously.

LAST CHANCE SALOON
ScOrched by Fire and Bathed in Water
Early Monday Morning,

Fire at the Last Chance Saloon"
on High avenue west and G street
called the fire department out little
before eight o'clock Monday morn
ing. Flames had caught between the
ceiling and the floor of the Margaret
Ballinger apartments occupying the
second story of the building. The
fire probably originated in defective
chimney passsgeway and had burned
between the floors for some little
time before it was discovered, Homer
McMains of the saloon was pretty
we'll soaked with water and there
will be quite little damage to prop
erty. The fire was difficult to get at
as it had not burned through. Water
was thrown from below for a time
but the firemen found it necessary to
go above and cut through the floor,
The losses will be covered by insur-
ance. Some of the boys suggest that
the west end should accept this op-
portunity for graz d fire sale.
Another fire was threatened at the
Hotel Downing Sunday morning, by
a small blaze in the floor of the rear
part of the house. 1t was not ne ces-
sary to call out the department as
the fire was discovered in time to
prevent any considerable loss and
was easily handled by the hotel
attaches.
