THE cabbage throwing episode that
has plunged affairs into such a
tangle at the state university re-
suited yesterday in about 100 pupils
leaving the school temporarily, and
later in the day, in a circus perform
ance over the arrest of eleven students
upon warrants charging them with as
Bault and battery upon Editor Pratt.
The affairs Of the day started when
the faculty made known its refusal to
reinstate the suspended SOphOmOres.
The student body wanted to hold a
meeting on the campus, but they were
denied the privilege. As result,
nearly all of the sophOmOres and some
fifty or sixty other students walked
out and refused 20 attend any of the
classes.
An effort was made to hold a meet
ing for the purpose of inducing the
whole school to halt, but il was futile,
and it will be held this morning off the
campus. 1t is expected by the pro-
students viii attend this meeting and
walk out with those who have already
bOlted.
Arrest of sophomores.
During the day Editor Pratt of the
Chronicle swore out warrants against
eleven sophOmores. who. he claims.
were involved in the attempted hair

boys. learning of his action, met down.
town and marched to the police sta
ton and gave themselves up to the
sheriff, who was sent for. Then they
made their escape and later resur-
rendered.
In lock-step they marched through
town to the county Jail, shouting sOph-
omore yells and singing They were
finally released with orders to appear
IN court this afternoon to answer the
! charges against them. The boys all
! are willing to face the court and they
propose going armed with shears, so
that If Editor Pratt shows up to prose
cute them they may have a chance at
his locks. The whole school is in a
general state of hilarity over the affair
and almost any kind of demOnstra-
ton may be expected at any time.
The feature of the days happenings
was the arrest of the students whom
Editor Pratt wants put under bonds to
keep the peace. The editor, il is
claimed has grave fears for the safety
of his locks, and upon the advice of
some of his friends he went before the
county attorney and swore out war
rants for Milan Crandall. John w
Buckle, Art Erickson, James Wade, A
II Chalmers, Leslie GrOesbeck, Arthur
Dofhemeyer, Emmett Moore. Ernest
Meyer. Roy H. Patterson and Thomas
Billings.
LANAS II AlCnSU-
RMS action on the part of Pratt was
unknown to the students until late
In the afternoon. But yesterday morn
ing an indication Of what might be
expected appeared on the bulletin
board at the university in the shape
or a notice from President Kingsbury
10 the effect that no interference with
the personal rights of any student on
the part of any other student or
students would be tolerated. The
students took this as an indication that
Pratt was getting frightened and they
manufactured big blunderbuss of
gas pipe and presented it to him along
with request for his resignation from
the editorial chair.
Later in the afternoon a crowd of
students who bolted met on Main and
second South streets and learned that
