The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1924-01-19

two lads were standing; one of them
had a gun. He chased the boy and
tried to take the gun. The gun fell
and the boy kicked it out of his reach,
struggled himself free, picked the gun
up, and ran on the sidewalk and began
firing it. Six or eight lads were on
top Of the assistant; he could not
bulge, and his eyeglasses broken, in
ficting a small scratch. Fred, his son.
came to the rescue and was also
hogged. Then, Mr.. Bush and Mr.. Ap-
king came out and the crowd scattered
AT the arrival of the police, a voice
rang out, Here they come, and all
disappeared. Only one boy was caught
and his alibi was that he had just
alighted from street car and came
down to see the excitement. He was
identified as one Of those belonging to
the same bunch, but could not be held
as taking part in the struggle, and he
was not arrested.
Mr.. F. w. Schacht, assistant prin-
cipal, wishes to state that he is not
seriously wounded at all, and that no
one else was hurt; that the scrap
lasted only about 10 or IS minutes;
that the small crowd of people who
had not left the school did not know
a disturbance had happened until they
read OF it in the newspapers, and then
they did not believe it and we're left
under the impression that it was false
statement, because they had departed
for home between 4:30 and 5 o'clock
and everything was quiet at that time.
Mr.. Schacht also wishes to state,
"Why do such newspapers as the
Herald Examiner, for instance: the
newspaper man and reporter received
an entirely different story than what
was published in their newspapers. and
that he was Mortified and disgusted,
and admits that it was an overdrawn,
nasty, rotten story; he could not see
their motive to print such news, and
why was il necessary to enlarge and
magnify a frivolous affair that was
practically settled and could be taken
care Of through some other channel
There was no one arrested; it was an
untrue statement about Eugene Eaves,
and also a false statement about an
other school boy. Prescott. This boy
was not even at school on Friday, and
II has been proven that he knew moth
inc about anything that had happened
around and about the school.
The school is being conducted on in
the usual manner and everyone seems
a. interested as ever to do their best
