MISS ELvIRA HEsToN, said to be small and rather
ll pretty, teaching school in Franklin township, Columbl-
ana county, Ohio, was much annoyed by two big boys from
Millvile village. The two big boys were named swaney and
them. Miss Heston stood it for some time but one day,
when particularly annoyed, she slapped one of the boys
plenty. Then the two great big dubs both attacked her saw
agely.
Miss Heston didn't have time to lay out the campaign or
even to scream. She shut her teeth together and things
began to be a-going. The school was panic stricken and all
the little children were crying aloud. In a minute Miss Hes
ton knocked the boys heads together and had them ter
rorized. She then whipped them with a birch rod. When
the two boys arrived home looking as if they had been
stepped on by the cattle their father, Boston swaney, a
farmer, became indignant and declared that he would "show
that dodgasted teacher a thing or two.'
Arrived at the school he proceeded to "argufy' for a
time with. Miss Heston, and then, so she declared, slapped
her face.
This is what Miss Heston didtto Farmer swaney: Landed
on his Jaw, broke his nose with a poker, chased him out Of
the school room, overlook him on the road, and knocked
him down with the poker.
Franklin township and Milville village when it heard
of all this as it did at once, was tickled almost to death. Mr..
Swaney has had his face set by the doctor and the boys
will not 60 back to school. A>bunch Of young farmers are
watching to see that the injured family does not try to take
revenge on teacher, She thinks they will not. If they do
she says that she will lick them. -

It was a fierce old gasolene fire that the Balfour, N. D.,
Statesman tells about. The fumes and flames and smoke
were almost suffocating. Arthur and Lewis Riebe were
among the first on the scene. 'They soon had two chemi-

they went at it and the fire again weakened. Others were
soon on hand, some were crazy and sent the chemicals squirt
ing over everything and everybody. The boards under the
gasoene tank were burning. Connolly knew that it was
gasolene and said so. Art understood that it was kero
sene. AS soon as Perry Pendroy came on the scene the
gasolene tank was tipped over and started for the door. Ii
tipping it over the faucet was opened and run full blast
The fire followed the running ga:olene right up to tn
was gasolene. He also realized that as yet the gasolene was
cold and that it must be shut off Or there would soon b.
something doing. So he turned the chemical stream on hi
right hand and reached into the fire and shut off tn
faucet. It did not burn him. Connolly and Pendroy pulled
at the top and Art pushed and the huge can was soon out
side. When the people present thought the fire was out tn
sRiebe boys thought otherwise and cut a hole thru tn
floor and up popped huge flames. When they subdued tn
new menace and all thought the fire out the flooring wa
taken up and about four inches of bark was found burning O.

was further demolished till there was no further danger. Al

fellow that does it. One fellow stood around in his way an
he threw him out Of the building. The fact that Their
