and the loss was taken good-naturedly
IN the class spirit. Lately, however, it
was discovered that but one of the
bunch was attending school and several
OF the rest had never attended. Upon
this occasion Prof. Lewis asked police
protection, and five boys were arrested.

and remained as guests of the city un-
til Monday morning. Upon being
brought before Judge Staser the boys
pleaded guilty and were let off with a
fine of dollar apiece and costs-to-
gether with lecture. They all prom
ised to quit it in the future. Mr.. Lewis
states that he does not intend to have
any further trouble over the affair, but
If it ever happens again the offenders
will not be let off so easily.
