 Boy Who Rode on Cars.
 The chief subject of conversation Ill tha eastern section of the city last night and to-day is a reported strike Wnlch is said to have occurred among the pu- pills of the Hendricken school, oWlnng to the fact that one of the pupils rode on the trolley cars. Last Saturday lit tie boy. Lewis Fowler, who lives on Wolcott street. is said to have ridden on the trolley cars. A number of the pupils heard of it and they were great ly incensed. They determined to make it hot for young Fowler. Yesterday morning they talked it over among themselves and some of them wanted to ask the teacher to expel the oHenu- ing pupil But this was considered an unwise move and it was voted down. Yesterday afternoon an opportunity was given the boys to show their feel ings. A runaway occurred in the east end The horse was stopped near the school and about fifteen of the boys got around the horse and the remnants of the wagon and commenced to drive it down East Main street, at the same time shouting, This is union bust"
 
 no scabs!" That was shortly before time for the opening of the school By the time the boys had returned the horse and wagon to it's owner, school had been in session fifteen minutes. The majority of the boys wanted to stay out all the afternoon and not go to school. They didn't want to go to school with a ..scab." as they called their fellow pupil who rode on the cars, but there were two little boys who were not in favor of this policy They were obedient children and want ed to go to school. Furthermore, they proposed to squeal on the others. When they arrived there they were immediately send home for excuses. The teachers knew nothing of the real reason why the children were late or the punishment might have been more severe. The children didn't get any excuses and didn't return to school yes terday afternoon. The above story was told to the Democrat reporter by one of the would-be strikers. What was done to the pupils when they returned to school this aftegn oon. for there was no session of the graded schools this morning owing to tlte snow storm, the writer has not as yet ascertained.
