y Little Shooting.

The College boys and the town boys
engaged in little shooting Tuesday
night. Or rather the College boys did
the shooting and the town boys the
running.
Two students played an old Joke on
another student, that Of carrying his
trunk 10 house where he was calling.
The town boys resented this, out Of this
grew the trouble. As 8 crowd OF town
boys passed the College Tuesday night
the shooting occurred. No one WAS nit.
The Colltgisns say the town boys threw
rocks az the students and then they
fired. Il is also alleged the town BOYS
beat small student. AL this the town
boys deny. So there you are.
The faculty j. investigating and the
police are watching. A warrant is on;
/ for the arrest Of student, but has not
+ b "a served. The student accused by
his fellows Of being an informer says b,
is entirely innocent.
Pistol shooting and rock-throwinl
sho uld be stopped, and they are subject
for the police 20 deal with.
