SCHOOLBOY RIOT.
Several High school Students Suspend
ed as a Result.

AS a result of a high school conflict
Thursday a number of students were
suspended Thursday and this morning,
for ungentlemanly conduct and failure
to obey the instructions of the man
agement of the institution
Some of the sub-juniOr boys placed
their colors over the telephone cable
connecting the two high school build
ings. The streamers had the same eff
feet as has a red cloth waved in the
face of a bull. Glass sentiment was
strong, and the crowd became so rough
that the orders of the teachers were
ignored.
As INSTRUMENTATION of course cannot
be tolerated in any well regulated
school it was necessary to take some
action. The result is that a number OF
the boys were suspended. The exact
number has not been divulged as
neither Principal A. J. Stout or Super
intendent c. G. Starr would discuss the
disturbance from any angle.
Il do not care to be mixed up in
newspaper controversy between teach
ers and Students said Principal Stout
this morning. THE question can be
settled to better advantage in a quiet
manner"
The boys, at least those who were
suspended, undoubtedly take preJu-
diced view of things.
Those who were actually fighting are
still around loose" said one of them.
1t was no fault of number of the
Sophomore students that the trouble
was not continued today. At 1870
O'Clock this morning the colors of this
class were placed on the same cable
running from one building to another.
Over the colors was a skull and cross
bones and floating above all were the
Stars and Stripes. At 4 o'clock a
janitor pulled down the omblems- A
piece of the flag which had lodged on a
lower wire was still huttering in the
breeze at noon.
Among those suspended were Lowell
HoatsOn, William Shepard, Angelus
Burch and Leonard Kline

and Vasquistas at San Pedro Sunday
have reached here. It is stated that
257 rebels were killed while the fedeIals
lost IL killed and IA wounded.
Two children and seven women were
killed by stray bullets.
The heavy loss sustained by the in
surrectOs was due to a ruse on the
part of the government troops. They
had posted a small skirnnish line out
side the city. This detachmen3 re-
treated as it fired and to lure their op-
ponents on, kept crying "F.vacuate,
Evacuate' to their comrades in the
city. Deceived by this, the rebels
rushed into a long, narrow street CT
the city. Federals concealed on roofs
and in houses poured a murderous fire
on them from their rifles, and from two
well posted rapid fire guns which swept
the street.
In a few moments it is said 200 of
them were down. their bodies littering
the street. A report says later rcbei
rejnforcements arrived and captured the
town, burning the market place.
