BLOOMINGTON.
The football season is on and our
school boys had rather rough expert
ence in their initial game at Fenni-
more Saturday. The Fennimore boys
had big duffer named Loomis, the
village marshal, serving as referee, and
between imposing his body in the way
of our boys and unfair decisions he
kept them out of any points and al
lowed Fennimore to make Is. He in
terfered so much that one of the boys
ran into him and upset him, which is
the rule of the game. After the game
Loomis jumped onto the back of this
schoolboy, threw him to the ground
and gave him a severe beating. The
boy was Elgie Kraut, a son of Louis
Kraut, a prominent citizen of North
Andover. His injuries we're painful
but luckily not dangerous. We have
not heard what Mr.. Kraut proposes do
ing. but we would be inclined to make
the ruffainly big bully who perpetrat-
ed this outrage come up to the bar of
Justice and stand trial. If Fennimore
football players are not careful they
