pLuCkY SCmOoE TEACHER.

Just because she walloped nine
pupils, Miss Roberta Atkins, the pretty
and athletic new teacher at the Sandy
Creek, Pa, school, is to be put on trial
by the township school board. The
bully of the school started the rompus.
He wore rawhide boots and homespun
breechcs, and was big enough to get a
job OF moving pianos. He insisted on
keeping q painted false-face mask in
Ills desk; also there were tops and
slung shots among his school room EFF.
fects, and the new teacher decided that
he must leave these things at home.
The rupture came Monday afternoon at
a spelling bee. When the bully re-
fused to give up the false face, the
plucky teacher used the rattan on him.
Other boys laughed. Their turn came
next. Three minutes OF fiery skirm.
ishing let the plucky schoolma am
master OF the situation. Only one boy
escaped without walloping.

SUICIDE or AN ARMY OFFICER

N'fAipE VIZ AN AN" VIZ EASH -N'
Second Lieut.. JOHN +. Lynch, Third
Cavalry, u. 5. A. who was married at
| o'clock yesterday morning in Fort
Sam Houston, Texas. after routing an
army chaplain from bed, killed him
self in his quarters, while his messmates
were at breakfast. He shot himself
twice. first near the heart and again
through the brain.
His bride was Gladys Caruthers, the
l7-yea..old daughter OF Mrs. Estelle
Caruthers, who lives at fashionable
hotel, aud is Known in army circles.
The officer and the young girl had been
acquainted but week, and we're ap:
parently greatly infatuated. To his
brother officers, however, the Wedding
was as great surprise as the suicide,
because Lynch had mentioned his at
attachment to young woman in Los
Angeles, where his father, ". c.
Lynch, and three brothers live. Lynch
was 20 years old.
The lieutenant left no letter to ex-
plain his act. He was i'll debt to the
extent OF 81, 200 chiefly for the outlay
Of clothing and horses required by az
officer in the mounted service. Ten
days ago he was court-martialed for
and while the order has not
been made public the impression i'll the
post is that be would have been merely
reprimanded.
