Iowa State College Students Had
i Received Permanent Injury to Their
Skulls - Factions Went at Each
Other with Barrel Slaves.

r
Special 70 Times Republican.
Ames, Sept. GA class scrap was
indulged in last night b'.tween the So
phomore and freshmen classes at the
Iowa State College, AMI as result
several students were quite seriously
injured. The trouble started early In
the day, when the sophomores made
threats of kidnapping the freshman
president and persisted In posting the
figures, "O9," in conspicuous places.
Al large number Of them, during the
day, purchased ovaralls and large
quantities Of rubber hose, which they
carried concealed In the legs Of their
trousers. In the evening bitter spirit
had been engendered and large num-
ber from the two classes armed them
selves with barrel slaves. In fierce
battle between the two factions four
of their number were knocked insensi-
Bile. and it was feared that their skulls
had received permanent injury. They
we're taken to the hospital, where they
were properly cared for. A number
Of others received minor injuries.
When the president Of the college
and the members Of the faculty were
apprised Of the seriousness of the
trouble they Immediately took steps
to put a stop to it, and in few words
exalted them to be engaged In doing
something more elevating. 1t Is
thought that no further trouble will
ensue. This is the first class scrap In
dulged in here for a number Of years.
