slider the punishment severe or
excessive and ordered Mr.. .Freer
dischared from arrest.
A bystander, Crist Lehnus, did
not like the verdict of the court

A serious snow balling PROPOSE
ton was INDUCED in a few days
ago, during the snow. About
recess time last Friday, as George
Merhof and Grover Lampe we're
going after a load of feed and had
reached about rs rods from the
school house George heard one of
the pupils say, Here comes
GEORGE Merhoff and Grover
Lampe. Let US snow ball them. ="
The boys called for the teacher
and he fell in with the idea. The
boys in the wagon stopped and
gathered up a few snow balls for
their own use, and then started to
drive past the school house in a
trot. One of the boys at the
school threw a ball which struck
one of the horses, only a young
colt, and the team started to run
away. George, who was driving,
saw they we're headed for a wire
fence, and giving a quick jerk
turned the team, but turned them
to short for the header box. and
the reach broke in two, whereat
the team with the front wheels
started to run, but we're soon
stopped with the aid of the
teacher. The boys managed 70
patch up their Wagon and con.
tinue on their Journey. They say
they are ready to meet the entire
school in a snow balIing match
any time, and will venture to bet
they can lick them. Neverthe-
less, in snowballing, it might be
well to be careful, as some one
might get hurt in Just such case
as this, where fortunately no one
was injured
