When the train pulled in, scores Of Of

glimpse of their deposed chief. There
was not a cheer nor. handicap from
those at the train side. As IL by agree

Lafayette. Ind, Dec. PA legal
battle of unusual interest is promised
this city early in January, when seven
women students of Purdue University
will come into court as defendants in
the $1,000 damage suit brought against
them last April by Miss Mabel Rogers,
also a student. who charges that the
defendants ruined her health while
hazing her a year ago.
The seven young women all come
from prominent families, and the in
stitution of proceedings against them
caused great establishment among the
1000 students at Purdue. The de-
PENDANTS are Miss Mary Clark of In
dianapolis, Miss Ruth Cowen of Chi
cago. Miss Mary Sheridan of Attica,
Ind, Miss Esther Kisner of Terre
Haute, Ind, Miss Agnes Phillips of
Monroeville. Ind, Miss May Blue of
Star City. Ind, and Miss Helen Lee of
Oxford, Ind.
Miss Rogers is an orphan and
comes from Shoals. Ind. She is pretty
but frail, and often has been absent
from her studies through illness.
The facts which Miss Rogers ex-
poets to prove at the trial are found
in her complaint, a voluminous affair
containing fully a score of allegations
of the most sensational and damaging
nature.
She says the incident happened one
night last January in Ladies' hall,
where she with the other students
had quarters. She was in her room
her studies when there was
a knock on the door. She opened it
and without a word of warning, she
asserts, one of the dee (nts rushed
in and dragged her out into the hall.
There she was met by the six other
young girls and the seven bounced
upon her.
They first smothered her screams
and then stripped her of her cloth
ing. One of the girls then ran, she
alleges, and secured a bottle of red
ink and painted her chest, face, back
and neck. When they had finished
this diversion they poured a bottle of
over her back and stuck her
with pins to make her kneel.
After this treatment had been con- !
tinued for some time, the girl goes
