MATTER BEFORE BOARD
Charges of Unprofessional Conduct
Made Against Principal ConoVer,
Whose Election Is Respon-
sibIe for Controversy
Especial to The Herald.1


HOLLYWOOD, June 1S.-The contro-
versy over the election by the school
trustees of Prof. w. S. Conover as
supervising principal of the grammar
schools is becoming interesting and Is
holding the attention of the residents
and patrons of the school. The COM
mittee representing them appeared be-
fore the board in April. before Mr..
Conover was elected, and asked that
he be not reelected for the coming
year. basing their plea on the un-
satisfactory condition of the schools
and his apparent unwillngness to hear
grievances when called to his notice.
The committee, they claim, received no
encouragement from the board and Mr..
Conover was elected. petition signed
by fifty patrons of the school was
placed before the board at the same
time.
Since then the opposition has held
number of meetings and has circulated
a petition that has 175 signers. Judge
Albert M. stephens has been retained
to handle the case. The matter Will
be brought before the county poard
of education soon, when the charge OF
unprofessiona conduct will be placed
against Mr.. Conover. The time for
the hearing has not been set.
Will Not Compromise
Mrs. A. Davidson. in speaking of the
matter. said that the impression that
the board would not give ear to the
petitioners was wrong, but that she
would be willing at any time TO meet
the committee with the petition or the
individuals who have complaints she
said that she would not be Wiling TO
compromise the matter.
r. B. Lyon, another member OF the
board, said that he had advised the
committee, whom he met at the home
of George M. Lashley yesterday after +
noon. to go to the county board of ed
ucation with the matter, as the board
had elected Mr.. Conover in good faith.
]. A. Russell, the other member OF the
board. has not been called into the
lmatter. as nothing can be done with
the board until either Mr.. Lyon or
Mrs Davidson agrees to resclnd their
action. =.
Mr.. Conover has asked to have IT
stated that he has been elected lor
another year and that he Will stay
Asked about the charge or unproles-
sional conduct, he denied 1t. Wnen
asked about the statement that mas
been made of his calling one or more
of the women liars who went 10 MN
to complain of some unpleasantnessss
in the school, he said that the person
making the statement had lied.
The petitioners claim that MT. Con
over was forced to resign at san Dleg9
and Portland when he was employeu
in those schools.

knew no couId uat leaye a detachment to guard
the wagons because II would weaken his force 10
a point which would make victory over the reds
practically impossible
Baldwin went to the teamsters ana said; j
can't leave force with you guard, and
you've got to charge with US. / want you to put
your teams In the center OF the charging line
aud make those mules fly straight into the mid
die of things"
1t probably was the first time in history that
mule drivers mules and wagons had been ordered
TO participate as an offensive part of cavalry
charge. The Infantry this occasion was mount
ed. The mule drivers lost all sense OF the danger
in the fun OF the thing. They told the lieutenant
that with good cussing" and with good flashing.
they could lead the cavalry a mile.
The 500 Indians were on plateau with sides
shelving gradually down TO the plains. Baldwin's
plan was nothing less than the seemingly reckless
one OF crossing the open with his men and
wagons, sweeping UP the incline and driving the
enemy IL he could or fighting him hand TO hand.
II he must.
The horsemen rode up in line With the four
mule teams abreast at the lines center. There
was a word OF command trumpet note or two.
and the line swept across the plain with the
mules on a keen jump. with black snake whips
cracking and the drivers saying things which a
mule understands.
The reds turned loose at the advancing hun
dred. Men and horses on the right and left went
down here and there. but the mules in the center

behind them swept on with never a scratch. The
reds on the plateau kept up their fusillade Up
up, up the incline. the mules leading by yards
all the way, swept the blue detachment. The
regulars were daring and fighting as American
regulars always dare and fight
One OF the teamsters afterwards swore that he
could see Chief Gray Boards eyes popping with
fear at the sight of the charging mules. The
level of the plateau was reached and horses.
men, mules and wagons went hurting forward.
The teamsters standing cracking their
whips and bowling. Infantrymen and cavalrymen
caught the spirit Of the thing and howled In uni
son.
Those four mule teams went straight through
the heart of the big band OF Gray Boards Kio-
was and Araphaoes. Meantime every carbine and
every Long Tom was cracking. and with one last
voey the warriors OF the allied tribes fed, leav-
ing their dead and wounded and their white cap
tives on the field
Lieut.. Baldwin found that the two white girl
prisoners were uninjured, and not long after the
fight they were restored 10 their parents. For

Frank d. Baldwin has been in so many fights
Cor his country that the counting of them
sumes the proportion OF mathematical problem.
For years upon years after the civil war in which
be distinguished himself time and again he fought
nearly every form Of Indian that the plains OF
the United States has produced There was
fight IN which Baldwin was engaged which de-
serves a place in song and story II some song
or story writer could be found equal to the
casios- IN the days OF the campaign OF which
this fight a feature there was only one bar
on BaIdwins shoulder, for he was a junior first
neutenant Of Infantry. The campaign a long
one and the fights followed fast and followed
faster
While ON detached service in Newport, KY. in
June 1874 Baldwin heard that his regiment was
10 be ordered under Col Nelson A. Miles, TO make
an expedition into the Indian territory The lieu
tenant went TO the front as fast as a train and a
horse could carry him. When he reported for
duty Miles who knew Baldwins record In the
OWL war, put him In command OF the
scouts Of the expedition. a command that
was composed partly Of whites and partly
Of Indians.
With Ids scouts back of him Lieut. Baldwin
had a dozen engagements, one after another,
with the confederated bands Of Cheyennes, Kio-
was, Arapahoes and the southern Comanehes
The one fight, however which for picturesque
ness stands out most prominently In the battle
list. did not take place until after Baldwin had
been In the field for many months II was the
fight Of his life. not In the engagements size nor
yet perhaps. In Its importance. but In
what an officer who saw II declares
TO have been 'its howlingly funny fea-
lures"
II was picturesque and 1t was funny all right,
but Il was dangerous as well, and Baldwin lost
some Of hts men, and took his own life In his
hands 40 times before he won his splendid victory
against tremendous odds. The daring OF the
thing was recognized by Col Miles, by the gen
lintr fha
congress OF the United States. which gave Bald
win his second medal Of honor for his work on
that day.
By one of the military freaks OF for
