WHISKY IN THE SCHOOL.
Bad Boys In an Oklahoma Rural District
Frightened the Teacher. who Was
Unable to Quell Disorder.

Lawton, Ok, Nov. 17.-In school dis
trict No. 5. near Hulen, boy OF II
in some way came in possession Of a
quart of whisky, which he took to
school. The bottle was passed among
the boys and in little while half the
boys in school were drunk. They
fought, jumped over seats, tore up
furniture and yelled. The teacher,
Miss Media Medberry, was badly fright
ened. The disorder reached such a
pitch that all efforts to quell 1t were
in vain. Finally she dismissed school
and called a meeting Of the board.
They expelled the bad boy and his as
sociate ringleaGers.
