Counting in Caroline county has
become hazardous since the war
of the rotten eggs has been in pro-
gress for ten days between the
boys of Greensboro and the boys of
Denton, resulting in the arrest of
three Greensboro boys by Sheriff
Quincy Tarbutton following a rot

the Greensboro boys peppered the
Denton car with rotten eggs. The
sequel to this attack took place
in the heart of Denton, when the
Denton boys, fortified with - doz-
en- inferiile eggs purchased at a
hatchery there, lay in wait for
the Greensboro boys. A pitched
battle ensued in which not Only
eggs but ether things are said to
have been thrown. Upon the ar
rival of the sheriff, the Greensboro
boys disappeared but he took sew

leasing them later when their par
ents went to intercede for them.
Wednesday right four Denton boys
in the same car were attacked and
five Denton girls driving alone IN
Greensboro were also egged.
