EIGHT YOUTHS ARE IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE

SPOKANE, May 6.-Ten boys in
this city have been traced down by
detectives hired by the school authori-
ties to investigate the attack made
upon Principal d. E. Cloyd last
month Eight of them were shut out
from the use of the public schools by
the board of education Tuesday. Two
others have been imlicapetd and it is
expected will be expelled from the
high school The latter two are
Harvey Dickey, last years star
quarterback on the football team, and
Will Rice, tackle on the team.
Mr.. Cloyd has been of the opinion
that the boys who assaulted him and
threw eggs at him one night as he
was returning home from the investi-
cation of the charges referred against
himself, did not do so of their own
accord, but were hired by others to
assault him. To this end Lewis K.
Church, a confidential agent of the city,
has been working on the case and an
attempt was made to secure evidence
that the high school fraternities either
furnished money to the boys commit
ing the assault or encouraged them
to do so. Mr.. Church stated that so
far as he knows at present no outside
influence caused the trouble, either
fraternity or otherwise, but that the
boys engaged in the affray became
of personal grievances

followed me singly with hor eyes,
as she always did in the menagerie.
To the others she appeared indiffer-
ent and l, thinking she was still play
full and knowing she was surfeited
with bear meat and did not like the
cold under her feet, started to walk
nearer the tree. had my back to
her for minute and carried my
repeating rife in my left hand, when
the boys told me afterward there was
a streak of tawny yellow and black
flash through the air and the next
moment Babe" had me pinioned under
her. My arm containing the gun was
forced under my body and useless.
felt her hot breath on my face and
for the first time felt complete fear
of the brute. Joe Geisler was nearest
to Babe" and though hated to
sacrifice her life, the frightful sense
Of fear left me breath enough to call
to Joe to shoot to kill.
"Babe's" feet sank in the snow
and she could not seem to get the
hold she wished, which was evidently
my neck, and buried my face deeper
in the cool snow. She tried to turn
me over and in 30 doing tore my
overcoat to shreds.. gave myself
up for lost, and all the long forgotten
thoughts of life time rose unhidden
to my mind. My boyhood school
days, the branks we played, my home
at DEBORAH, Ia, the faces of father
and mother and things long forgotten
in the dim distant time, flashed
across my vision. ! felt that the
next instant would see me dead, when
sound like cannon burst into my
ears and the weight from my body
was removed. 1t seemed the expert
ence Of hours, but the boys told me
that it was only about Is seconds
before Mr.. Geisler put two bullets
into the body of rBabe." She
scampered down the mountain side
and | believe / owe my life to the
fact that Babe" was not really
hungry, that the unusual feel of the
snow and cold bothered her and Joe's
bullet LACED her for few moments.
l opened my eyes languidly and as in
a dream saw babe" with the boys
in pursuit. They captured her by
enticing her to the door of the shifting
den with big piece of raw meat and
Rumley deftly threw the moose over
her head and shoulders and it was
the work of second to pull her into
the cage. She moped around a
week or ten days, evidently digest
ing the bullets from Joe's gun, but
to show the wonderful strength and
vitality of the beast, you can see how
well she is today.
But no more playing with wild
animals for me, take it for
granted that they mean no harm,
but will keep at safe distance from
any of them. Babe has master
now in beautiful mate we bought
last year but she still seems to
single me out from any group. At
any rate | imagine 30, and will let
it go at that.
