HAxiNG STUNT.

San Lnis Obispo. June H.-~For TIL,
frst time In Its history trouble has
arisen between faculty and students
at the California Polytechnic school
The hazing Of a fellow student has
caused the faculty TO take quick nc
ton and now five OF the students have
been placed on probation.
The trouble arose ont OF the tennis
match which the Polytechnic playe1
against Cambria. One OF the Poly.
technic students--Myron Thomas Of
Riserside--was considered too enthu.
slastic In giving vent to his feeling Ia.
soring the Cambria players.
At the next meeting OF one OF the
classes Thomas was seized by flye
OF the students--Kent Knowlton,
George Coonrsdt, Douglas Wood,
Francis Buck and Carl Tout. He
was told that HIS action had been
one Of treason and that he, would
have to take q ducking: Keep your
clothes on or take them on" was the
command from the leader. Thomas
preferred TO remain in his full attire.
He was thrown In a vat Or water
and held there Tor a short time. He
was then permitted to go with an id
monition to uphold the honor OF his
school In the future. ~~ IL.
Thomas then walked into the din.
ing room Of the school. where the
faculty we're at lunch. The wa.
ter was running In streams from his
clothing. hair and face. He explained
his tale to the members and was told
to go to his room and put on dry
clothing. ~.
For two days the faculty had the
case under consideration and now the
Ave boys implicated have been placed
on probation. @.

MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY
OF PIONEERING VINES.

Mr.. and Mrs. e. T. Beltz now have
what is perhaps the largest and most
magnificent display of Towering sweet
peas ever shown in Laramie and the
sight is worth the pains of every citi-
zen to see. They have nearly 800 feet
of sweet pea vines in bloom. The color
scheme is the separation of the colors,
named varieties being grown in nearly
the whole area-reds, whites, blues
and others separated, giving a truly
remarkable effect. One of the hand
soonest varieties is the Blanche Eek
ford, a rose tinted blossom, perfect as
to form and color and blooming in
truly remarkable %profusion. A writer
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat a few
days ago, after a visit to the Shoshone
reservation, in the western part of the
state, belittled Wyoming as a treeless,
fiowerless desert. He should he fur
nished with a photograph of the Beltz
garden and asked to come and see for
himself. st. Louis has not a prettier
spot.

NEGRO TROOPER DlsMoUNTS IN
MIDDLE OF ROAD AND DRAWS
NUMEROUS LOOKING GUN.
Picnic Party in Two Wagons Com
PEELED to Swerve to One Side to
Prevent Running Him Down, but
Neither Party Says Word and
Daring Holdup Did Not Occur.

A picnic party composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. y. Fitch, Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.
Fitch, Mrs. S. w. Downey and daugh-
tiers, Misses Norma, Evangeline and
Dorothy, and E. E. Fitch, spent the
day very pleasantly at Green Top, on
Green Top creek, yesterday, Elwood
Holiday taking one of the conyeyances
to the top of the mountains. The party
spent the day in the open, with not an
untoward circumstance, and enjoyed
the luncheon served under an over
hanging pine tree.
Thought Twas a Holdup.
1t was not until they were on their
way home, in the early dusk of the
evening, and when part way down the
mountain side, that they had their real
sure enough excitement. They thought
they were in the midst of a genuine
holdup, and wonder why they We're not.
Only a soldier too drunk to know just
what to do, or what he was doing, they
think, spoiled the good story a holdup
under the circumstances would make.
Took Possession of Road.
AS the party was proceeding down
the hill, Mr.. Holidays team ahead
and Mr.. Fitch's behind, a colored
trooper, all alone and perhaps ten
miles from the military camp, and
very much under the influence of
liquor, alighted in the middle of the
road just in front of the wagons, and
deliberately drawing a long revolver
from his pocket, took possession of
the way. He said not a word. Mr..
Holiday pulled his horses t. n side
and passed the trooper, all the time
keeping his eye on the fellow.
Pistol Falls From Hand.
When Mr.. Fitch came up, and while
he was just passing the fellow, the
huge pistol fell to the grouDG striking
on a rock, but did not explode. The
negro stopped over to pick it up, almost
falling, and while he was in this posi-
ton Mr.. Fitch drove away, leaving him
there. Whether he was too drunk to
mount his horse is not known, or what
his intentions were are a mystery to
the party. They expected to be asked
to stand and deliver" but were not.
The negro said nothing they could
understand and none of the Fitch
party spoke to him.

Motion In Pending Case.

A jury consisting of George Eykyn,

Ulen this morning decided that Mrs.
Nellie Olson, widow of the late Gus Oh
son, is competent to care for her own
affairs and the guardian, J. w. Johnson;
will be discharged as soon as the pa
pers are made out. Mrs. Olson, it will
be remembered, was the only member
of the family of four to survive the on
slaught of her husband at their home
on Hodgeman avenue a few years ago,
Mr.. Olson afterwards killing himself.
One son died instantly and the other
died within a few weeks. For some
time, because of her wounds, it was
believed that Mrs. Olson would not re-
cover her reason and Mr.. Johnson was
appointed and took charged of her af-
fairs. Now she has completely recoy-
cred and will be placed in charge.

colossal forgery fraud in the bank.

The young man advanced the belief
that his father has not fled the country,
but has committed suicide. Theodore
could not have been a forger, because
he has an impeachment in the control
