TWO STUDENTS ARE
GIVEN SUSPENSIONS
Infraction Of High School Rules
Causes Authorities to Take
Disciplinary Action

Infraction of the rules governing
high school dancing parties resulted
in the temporary suspension Of two
students at the local institution, Prir-
cipal w. II. Payne said Tuesday in q
report to members Of the city school
board Tuesday night.
The suspensions were for q day end
q half each and both boys now are
back in school.
The fact that a numb:i of high
school students took part in q dance
at a local restaurant, after leaving q
high school dance last week. caused
school authorities to take disciplinary
action, Payne said.
He explained that one boy, q men,
Der of the student committee, was
disciplined because he had previously
asked that the high school party be
continued at the restaurant and had
participated after that permission
had been denied. The other boy was
suspended because he had misrepre-
scented facts to other students, lead
ing them to believe that official sane
ton for the affair had been obtained,
Payne said.
Authorities made it plain that
nothing more serious than an infrac-
ton of the high school disciplinary
regulations was involved In the affair.

Won't Monkey
With Calf Again
fTribune Special Seryice)


Werner. N. D.. March 11.--Al-
vim Nordsven, living south OF
here, is only nine years old, but
he has learned not to monkey
with a calf without its moiner's
consent.
Last Saturday, Alvin and his
father, Andrew Nordsven, saw q
COW standing in their pasture and
beside her was a newborn calf.
They procured a sled and placed
the cali upon it to take 1t to
shelter.
Tugging on a rope at least a
rod ahead of the sled was Alvin.
In the rear followed the COW,
watchful and wondering. Sud-
denly she charged the youth;
knocked him down; tramped and
kicked him. The fathers at
tempts to drive the animal away
were futile.
Alvin, unconscious, and with his
head and face cut and torn from
the hoofs of the COW, was bleed
ing profusely. At Killdeer, late
the same night. several. stitches
were taken in his right cheek. He
is convalescing.
