County superintendent Shepard and
A. X. Swan, assistant county attor-
ney, We're called yesterday to the
Freeman school, district No. A., To-
Gated seven miles west of Chickasha,
to investigate disturbance reported
from that school. Investigations de.
yeloped that Monday some parties
thus far unknown, had fired shot
from a % caliber target rigle into the
school building
The oali did not have sufficient force
behind it to drive it through the wall
OF the building, therefore resulted in
little damage, further than giving the
pupils in the school room at the time
a bad scare. The peace disturbers are
then said to have bomoarded the build
ing with bricks and stones, partly de-
molishing the stove flue.
Mr. Swan and Mr.. Shepard stated
this morning that they proposed to
make a thorough Investigation OF the
matter and that if the perpetrators OF
the michief could be located they would
be dealt with by the law.
