San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The strike
Of the Bernal Heights schoobloys has
ended in lockout
The boys struck because they said
their teachers rode on United Rail
roads cars. Today the strikers re-
ceived little slips of paper announ-
cling they were suspended from school
for a week. But the marble ring and
football have been helved as tame
sports since the new game Of strike
came to take its place in the realm
of boyish adventure. Around the llt-
tie candy store is being related the
inside story of the strike.
1t started many days ago. A long
slip of paper with a remarkable oath
of secrecy such as would have de
lighted Huckleberry Finn, had been
passed from desk to desk. 1t was
crumpled in the pages of biographies
when the teachers eye seemed keen
or hurriedly stuffed in pocket t
be smeared with bits of gum or dust
from the marbles. On it was printed
the following:
I'VE strike Monday. Keep it Sc
cret. If you don't sign, keep your
mouth shut. Meet in the school var,
Friday. Remember, we strike Mon
day.
Then pieces of chilk started to dis
appear from the schoolroom and the
strike propaganda was spread ovel
fences. Cyptic words
"We strike Monday" adorned tele
phone poles and sidewalks to puzzle
the passerby.
The boys struck and the cops in
terfered. But the strike game has
caught on"
Today a boyish voice came on the
telephone, saying:
Say. want youse fellows to know
he Mission school gangs going to
strike in sympathy"

Many Cases Of Typhoid
Fever at Ravenna

Ravenna, Neb., Jan. 18-(SpeciaL)
Typhoid fever. a dozen or more
cases, has developed in Ravenna.
Carlyle Halverstadt, a high school
student, died Tuesday of the malady.
Several have been taken to hospitals
at Grand Island and Lincoln. The
source Of infection was found in the
water supply, it appearing that the
Burlington railroad had left a con-
Meeting pipe open and forced a large
quantity of river water into the city
water mains. The Burlington round
house used river water for some en-
CINE purposes, and city water for
other. and it is believed the unfortu-
nate leaving open of the connecting
pipe has caused the trouble. The
city water has been chemically treated
and the railroad has discontinued
pumping water from the river. Physi-
clans and the city and railroad au-
thorities are doing everything pos
sible to prevent further spread of the
disease.
