He Licked His Teacher,
But Chauncey Warson Had to Wait Twenty-seven Years and Try
Five Times Before He Got Even For Flogging He Re
ceived In Utile Red Sshoolhouse.
Twenty-seven years ago Chauncey
Warson, then fourteen years old. took
a vow that he would thrash Professor
Mont Cryder. A fortnight ago he made
good.
For twenty-seven years Warson has
waited his chance. Five times oppor
tunity has been given him. and the
fifth time he accomplished his pur
pose.
The fact that the two men fought a
desperate battle to settle an old grudge
is but an incident to the story. The
remarkable part of this is that Warson
perhaps Is the only man who ever
made good his threat to whip his
teacher.
Also the fact that they .^et under
peculiar circumstances and nearly 3.000
miles from the scene of their earlier
combat adds interest to the affair.
Warson was the son of a well to do
farmer residing In Highland county. O.
He attended school at a little red
brick schoolhouse which had been de
risively named "Swamp college." It
the week." said Crydcr. "We'll have a
jolly week and then settle it."
"No." remarked Warson. "I'm mar
ried now, and I don't want to take any
black eyes home. Let's fight Wednes
day."
So it was agreed. They ran around
the fair and the city for three days
and Wednesday afternoon adjourned
to a vacant lot near Slxty-secoud
street and Ellis avenue and fought.
Cryder beat Warson up so badly that
he forced him to quit. Then thoy went
together to a drug store and patched
up their wounds and bruises aud fin
ished the week in perfect friend.-mlp.
"I'll get you the next time." said
Warson.
"All right," remarked Cryder. "I'm
still in Omaha. Telegraph me when
you're coming, and I'll be ou band."
In 1890 Warson. then at the bend of
the company be had started to work
for as a boy. was going west when he
decided to get off at Omaha and whip
Cryder. He wired from Kausas City.
Cryder met him at the station in a
WARSON SHOT HIS RIGHT TO THE JAW.
was there he received at the bauds of
Professor Cryder a sound birching
which he thought undeserved. From
th?t day his great ambition was to
"get even."
Eight years later Chauncey Warson,
then traveling salesman for a Cincin
nati shoe house, met his old teacher
on the street in Omaha. Cryder did
not recognize the boy he had thrashed,
but Warson knew him. He advanced,
introduced himself, and Cryder greeted
him cordially. Warson was a bit ill at
ease. Finally he remarked:
"Mr Cryder, some years ago, when
I was a boy, you unjustly punished
me."
"I'm sorry for that," said Cryder
earnestly, 'tl remember I whipped ev
ery boy I could lay hands on."
"I vowed then," said Warson, "that
1 would thrash you to even up the
6core."
"Boys all do that." laughed Cryder.
"But I'm going to make good," said
Warson. "I made a solemn vow, and
I intend to keep it."
Cryder tried to persuade him that It
W&a foolishness, but the Warson pen
ch&ot for keeping their giveu word
was too strong.
"Well," said Cryder finally, "we can't
fight here. Come up to my house, and
we'll get it over."
It. was a grand fight. At the end of
about eight minutes Cryder landed a
right on Warson's jaw and put him
down and out.
Ee helped his old scholar into the
house, they washed up, had supper to
gether, and Cryder was Warson's guest
at the theater that evening. They part
ed the best of friends, and as they sep
arated Warson remarked:
?Til come back and whip you when
I think I can."
"Better come every time you get lu
town. Don't wait until you can lick
me--just drop in any time."
Warson took boxing lessons, prepar
ed himself and exercised. The follow
ing year he made Omaha, but Cryder
was out of town, and it was not until
1S93 that they met agaia. That time
they met in Chicago during the World's
fair.
"Still want to lick me?" asked Cry
der.
"Yes," replied Warson. "I hate to
do it, but I gave my word that I would,
and I must."
"Well, let's put it off until the end of
carriage, took bim home, and the fol
lowing afternoon they fought in the
back yard.
Cryder won, but it took him six
rounds, and both men were very badly
beaten up.
Warson visited Cryder for several
days and persuaded him to go with
him into the Yellowstone, where they
had a week of sightseeing.
That was the last they saw of each
other until recently. r Ten years had
passed. Cryder had rented a cottage
at Long Beach, Cal., for the winter
and was staying there with his family.
He was walking up the beach when he
saw a familiar figure on the board
walk. It was Warson.
Warson stopped at the Cryder cot
tage for several days. For obvious rea
sons neither mentioned to Mrs. Cryder
that they were going to fight to settle
their old grudge. They waited one
moruing until Mrs. Cryder walked
downtown to do the shopping, taking
little Harlan, the baby, with her. Then
they went into the back yard, stripped
for battle.
For fifteen rounds they fought?
rounds of varyiug lengths, as they
were forced to guess at the length of
time elapsed. Finally in the fifteenth
Cryder caught a stiff left hand blow |
on the jaw. It staggered him, and he
clinched. Warson threw him off and
swung his right. Cryder. weak and
dizzy, parried and swung desperately.
The blow lifted Warson from his feet
and dropped bun In the sand.
In an instant he wus up and rush
ed. Cryder, still dizzy, covered his jaw
with one shoulder and hung on. His
straight left failed to drop Warson,
who kept driving in blow after blow,
but failing to land on the vital Bpot,
Slowly Cryder was forced into the an
gle of the fence. He tried to escape,
his foot slipped In the sand, bis arms
spread a bit to prevent a fall, and like
a flash Warson shot his right to the
jaw, and Cryder went down like a log.
Mrs. Cryder, returning at that In
stant, saw the blow and screamed. She
stood as if petrified watching Warson
working over her husband. Then she
ran in. What she said to Warson was
sufficient, but suddenly be looked up,
and she saw tears In his eyes. Just
then Cryder's eyes opened. He sat up
In the sand, spat out some blood and
said dizzily, "Well, Warson, old boy,
you did it at last> and I'm glad if s over."

CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I take great pleasure in telling you
?what a groat help it v.?s for me to use
Cuticnra Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. It
was all over her bodv but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
so bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried und scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. I had her under the doe
tor's care for a year ai:d a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if I had de
pended cn the doctor nay baby would
havo last her mind and died from the
want of aid.
"I used all the remedies that every
body told me about and T tortured the
child almost to death. Then I saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for irritating skin. I bathed hor with
warm water and Cuticura Sonp and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three nrmtln. 2n'< w her skin is as
clear and smooth as it cot-Id be. I shall
recommend the use r.f Cuticura wherever
I see the skin in bad condition. Alice

will never regret it. One of the best ways and the way we would sug
gest is to invest in one of our very many attractive Life Insurance
Policies and have something to fall back on in case you get hard up
while living or leave protection for your loved ones in case you die.
In this you have a two-fold purpose. We are strictly a Southern Com
