SCHOOL BOY
 USED A GUN
Montgomery County Teacher Compelled
 to Take to lhe Woods usoer Fire.

l.. F. Guthrey, oookkeeper a' Lochridge's, is in receipt of letter from his brother, J. l. Guthrey. who is teaching school at Bethel. in Montgomery county. in which the teacher writes of an exciting experience he had re- gently with one of his pupils.
 The latter part of August sev- eral of the boys were punished for breaking the rules Of the school. One ot their number, Herley Vaught, the l2.year-old son of Pike Vaught, ran away from school and went home be- fore his turn came for whip ping, and on September 4, the first day he appeared again at school, Prof. Guthrey called him up and after overcoming consider able resistance, gave the child a good whipping.
 The boy then left the school room and stationed himself on the outside where he open. d mp with a long and varied line of curse words. When MT. Guthrey went out to stop this disturbance he was surprised to find himselr looking into the muzzle of a 45- Colts revolver, and to hear the words: "Now run d. you. " From all appearances the little rascal meant business and the professor lost no time in getting behind a convenient tree and at | the same time he heard the re- port of the gun aud bullet whiz past him.
 Before the shooting took place several of the other school boys came out and tsied to prevent trouble and 1t is said that the shot would probably have gone true to it's mark had not one oi the boys grabbed the arm of young Vaught just as he fired.
 After "treeing" the professor the twelve-year-old desperado left the school grounds, has not been back since and school Is going on under normal conditions.
 Prof. Guthrey states in his letter that he afterwards learned that the boy had his fathers revolver which he had slipped out of the house.
 The elder Vaught is out in Texas at present and no legal steps are reported in connection with the incident.

Charles Smith, with whom Grithu was boxing, is held on charg e of involuntary nuanslaughter, although the coroner's jury which investigated the case yesterday 3 afternoon did not hold Smith re- sponsible in any way tor the death of Griffin. The verdict ot the jury was that the deceased came to his death from an in- ternal hemorhage due to a ruptured spleen while engaged III friendly sparriug match with Charles Smith.
 A dozen witnesses, including relatives of the dead man, test- fled at the inquest that Grithn and Smith were close friends and that Smith had been wild with grief since tue death.
 The boxing match which re- suited in Griffin's death was one of a large number which have been held at Braddock's park b5 a club of young men residing 1T tue southwestern part of the city Members of this club stated that they frequently went to the park nights and on Sundays and CD gagged in friendly bouts.
 According 10 the statements of parties who saw the traged , the young men had boxed ons round of about five minutes aut after brief rest resumed tht bout. Smith, who is older ant stronger than young Griffin, wa, getting far the best of the argu ment, and the lighter boy wa almost exhausted when h, stepped into the ring for th' second round. It is said by thos' who saw the bout that Smith hi Griffin on the nose and followed with another on the stomach be l low the belt, which caused tht younger man to drop his hand and stagger toward the bench where he dropped in faint.
 It was not until he faintet away the second time that the} l began to be alarmed and seu. foi assistance. Ice water and cam phor were used, but after few moments of consciousness Grilli, tainted again. and the thi,'l taln proved to be the last, With !, gasp and shudder tLe young man closed his eyes and deati came in very few minutes.
