ANNUAL BONFIRE RALLY
IS UNUSUALLY EXCITING
Trouble Starts When Marshal
interiors With Carting
Away Boxes

GAMBLER, Nov. 7--Destruction Of
"a fence. and carting away Of chick
en coop to furnish fuel for bonfire
and football rally, coupled with mis-
understanding as to who represented
constituted authority in the village Of
Gambler, landed three Kenyon men in
the village Jail yesterday afternoon
and created a rather tense situation
between college students and villag-
ers which lasted we'll into the evening
and only was relieved when Sheriff
Mosholder, summoned to the scene,
interviewed as peacemaker.
Members of the freshman class of
Kenyon college were sent out yester.
day afternoon to collect fire-wood for
the traditional bonfire preceding the
annual football game with Western
Reserve.
Probably due to ignorance, some of
the first-year men tore down fence
and the fact was reported to Marshal
Harod Parker who deputized several
citizens to prevent further destruc-
tion.
1t so happened three freshmen
Lawrence Wright and Harry Krause
of Cleveland and Albert Miller of Bay
City, Michigan-were at the home of
II. S. Downe gathering up old boxes
for the bonfire when the marshal and
his deputies appeared. These men
knew nothing of the destruction Of the
3fence and had been instructed to gath
er the boxes and return to college, al
lowing nobody to interfere with them.
2 Accordingly, when the marshals
party appeared and, it is said, tried to
prevent them from carting away the
boxes, struggle ensued and Wright,
Krause and Miller were arrested, on
{ly to be bailed out later on. The three
Aclaim that they did, not know they,
swere dealing with authorities.
!; The brush led to quite little feel
ing and, in the evening, the chicken
coop belonging to Marshal Parker was
kcarried away by students and placed
on the bonfire. Marshal Parker as
sembled number of citizens and
farmers and tbs body, armed with
clubs to prevent any more destruc-
tion stood just outside the college
gates.
Following the bonfire, the custom
ary march up and down the Middle
Path was started by the students.
When they reached the college gates
Z they were confronted by the mob Of
citizens and told not to pass. An ar
,gument ensued end about half Of the
students defied the mob and resumed
the march. This led to a small fight
in which nobody was hurt.
At this period, Sheriff Mosholder ap-
peared upon the scene, having been
summoned by telephone. In short
talk, he explained the situation to both
isides and restored tranquility.
The whole affair was due to a mis-
understanding on both sides. How.
ever, the freshmen who were arrested
lwill be arraigned probably on charges
of destruction of property and resist
!, ing officers.
