SEVERE CASE Of HAz-
ING COMES TO LIGHT
Hilmer Christopherson is "Stretch.
ed by Upper Classmen Of
High School.

On Thursday night when Hilmer
Christopherson and George Thomp-
son, two Freshmen boys in the local
high school, were returning from
the athletic field to their homes
about supper time, several upper
classmen waylaid the boys and took
the Christopherson lad, pinioning
him to the ground and stretched
him. stretching" consists of four
boys, each pulling on an arm or
leg of the victim. The act itself is
worse than revolting-it is barbar-
GUS and sometimes results in Grip
pling the victim for life. This
sport" of Thursday evening was
done for the purpose of hazing the
boy, who entered the Freshman
class of the high school this month.
He was ill all night after the affair
and still feels the effect of the vio-
lence. The matter reached the ears
of the school management the next
morning and probably such a lect-
ure as never before was heard in
high school in this city was given
to the students on yesterday morn
ing by Prof. Kelly. 1t was clearly
shown that the management of the
high school never has, and never
will stand for such acts, and that
should such a thing ever happen
again, the offenders would be dealt
with in no gentle manner. For sew
eral years at times cases of stretch
ing have been reported not alone in
the schools, but out of the schools,
during vacation.
Students and pupils who attend
the schools in this city are under
the authority of the management
both on the school grounds and re-
turning to or from school. The au-
thorities also have power to act in
any matters concerning the schools
whether they occur during or out
side of school hours, and the offend
ers in any further occurrences Of
this kind will be made an example

MUSICALE AND DANCING PARTY

MUSICALE AND DANCING PARTY.
A delightful musicale and dane
ing party was given Friday evening
at the Outing club by Mr.. and Mrs.
John R. Kamrar in honor of Mrs.
Grace Clark-DeGraff of Des Moines.
About one hundred guests were
seated in the beautifully decorated
club hall, which was bright with
tall vases of golden rod and yellow
chrysantheums. The programs for
the musicale, embracing about SIX
teen vocal numbers, were daintily
lettered in gold and are pretty SOU
venirs Of the occasion.
Mrs. DeGraff was accompanied on
the piano by Miss Rosalind Cook
to whom much credit is due, posses
sing as she does the delicate art OF
sympathetic accompanying.
The superb quality of Mrs. De.
CRAFTS voice is not unknown 10
many webster City people VINO nave
had the privilege of hearing her be-
fore. Friday, night, however, her
voice completely charmed the guests
especially in the singing Of the
"Aria" from LaTraviata. At tie con-
clusion of the program she gracious
ly responded to an encore with a
few very amusing limitations OF
faulty singing, from the young lady
who had just returned from Europe
after receiving training there In
voice culture, to the young woman
who had been told she chad a
voice.

A Rare Opportunity.

Webster City has the opportunity
of hearing the famous Kneisel in
strumental quartet on Wednesday,
Nov. 10Th, w. H. Cook having been
informed that they could give him
that date. Mr.. Cook has an option
on that attraction and if the public
pulse seems to be responsive enough
in that direction, he will very
likely settle the matter soon. All
interested in having this superb
organization appear in Webster
City again should express them
selves to Mr.. Cook, as he must
necessarily act quickly.
