fired upon the officers and arove them
from the mine works. None was in

Earlier in the day, however, while
armed strike pickets stood guard at
the approaches of the various proper
ties firing shots into the air, one OF
them was wounded by Theodore
Schweitzer. deputy. The deputy
had ordered the picket to cease fir
ing. Upon his refusal Schweitzer

the Battle of Bennington to Bur

after. II shall be my object then to
show the effect of this engagement,

British General, and upon the spirits
of our own forces.

the participants, when the fatal day

4 MUSTARD P0ULTIcE.
u Raised Lively Rumpus, and II
Didn't Cure the Cold.


Lord Darlington used to be great
practical joker, but he was once the
victim of his own reputation. He was
at the time stopping at hotel in Cape
Town. In the same hotel were young
couple, and, the husband having a
bad cold, the wife left her room to OBJ
cain for him the solace Of mustard
poultice. She left him asleep and
thinking she knew her way, descended
the stairs and, procuring particular
ly virulent connection, made her way
back to her room. But doors are
much alike In hotels, and, seeing one
ajar, as she had left her own, she en-
tered. Creeping quietly to the bed
side, she saw, as she thought, the form
Of her sleeping lord and master. Has
lily bending over him, she placed the
fatal irritant upon his chest.
No sooner had she done so than a
movement of the sleeper revealed, TO
her horror. that she had made a terri
BILE mistake Too frightened to recap
ture the discriminating poultice. she fled
from the room and. rushing down the
passage. discovered her own door and
bolted herself In.
II was but minute and the storm
broke. The hotel was In an uproar
The mustard poultice had been placed
on the chest of the corpulent. elderly
governor general! The explosion Of
his wrath, his bowls Of rage as the
mustard did its work. brought ser
wants and manager TO his bedside.
The situation did not permit Of an
explanation. Furious with Indignation.
he declared himself the victim Of a
gross joke, ahd the efforts of the mai
tire d'hotel to pacify him were in vain.
He swore that the practical joker was
nobody else than Lord Darlington. and
the next day. Tuning and indignant
left the place.
So did very contrite young wife
and husband whose cold was no bet
ter.

SMALL FRESHMAN HAzED
Prosecution May Follow Sophomore
Activity Of Last Evening

Following week during which the
Sophomores and Freshmen of the
Bennington High school have been
engaged in incessant hazing, Spencer
Lee, member of the Freshman class
and the IL year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Lee of Branch street
was taken by party of Sophomores
on his way home from school last
evening. They threw him upon the
ground in front of the Christian
Science Temple on Park street and
removed all his clothing save his
trousers and left him there.
This morning the boys parents
made complaint against three Sopho
mores to Superintendent A. w. Var
ney and to States Attorney Meagher.
Young Lee attributes the action of
the Sophomores to the fact that while
he entered the bridge rush of last
Friday. he did not take part in the
hostilities of the evening owing to
the objection of his parents.
