CAUSED LOT OF TALK

Considerable excitement was created
at Vernon Center last week by threat
ened arrest of Professor Oliver by NJ
G. Thompson, on the charge of wrong
fully Furnishing his son, Joseph, boy
about sixteen years old. 1t appears that
the boy and Howard Francis were play
ing on the school grounds and being
somewhat rough in their scuffling, the
professor thought that the Thompson
boy was imposing OH the other, who is
much younger, and stepped up and gave
him chastisement. Taking them up
to his room, in explaining the occurrence
the professor called him liar and other
harsh terms. The affair was compro-
missed by the professor paying costs, ETC.,
and all Is serene again.
