U.;:- j a^s.iii Friday night, when t".; anniai cu'iirscrape was pulled c.i' or. the j college campus. Wesiinger was the cutter and Paschal was the cuttee. For several days they had been saying means things to J each other and about each cth-^r, and j once or twice their words were so! heated that they had to be parted to j W avoid a tragedy. Finally it was suggested that these j two bitter enemies meet on the campus ' Friday night and fight a fair square j fist fight and have it over with. So; y in accordance with this suggestion, the j fck principals met at the appointed time and place. They were surrounded by half a hundred "rats," anxious To se? me tray, wnen, lo and behold, Wes-1 singer wielded the despicable :iand of I r treachery by flourishing a dangerous looking knife. High in the air went \ the shining blade and when it descended ii found lodgements in the quivering flesh of Paschal's body?so the rats thought who saw it with their own j eyes. The red 1 fe-blood gushed out, j or more correctly speaking, the redcolored water ran out of the punc-: v lured rubber bag under PasehaFs! shirt The young -victim of th? assassin's hand fell back, desperately wounded, j into the arms of his comrades, who \ j bore his moaning and fainting form j to his room in the dormitory. In the | excitement which followed Wessinger i rushed to his room, seized his suit case and fled. This was no time for justice and [ mercy to sleep. The would-be slayer j must be caught and the unfortunate i sufferer must be relieved. Searching squads sped as fast as their trembling . legs could carry them to Helena ana | It to the Union station and to the rail- I w way junction at the Southern cotton oil mill to prevent the escape of the j miscreant. Other excited and pers ? piring squads searched the town over for a physician, and Cnally wnen a j couple of them found Dr. Houseal they j made a heart-touching appeal for him j to go to tho aid of their dying friend, but. unfortunately, he had an urgent call and couldn't go. For once the students and the police- ; men stocd cn common ground, and tiie boys saw the need and usefulness of a cop. But here again, to the utter astonishment of the boys, the policemen seemed indifferent. A- Rut whprhpr thp assassin escanes or not the wounded must have medicine from the druggist. And here is where Billie Mayes came into the game ana played the fakir by selling the excited ' throng a bottle of water. One poor rat ran all the way to town to get a bottle of ice cold coca cola to quench the thirst and fulfill the last request oi his mortally wounded college mate. * Later in the evening the ligtft began to break in upon the victims c:' the L joke and Saturday morning the exmr citeiment had di.d away and all was well. ! Some good people condemn the jake the eld college boys played on the new students Friday night, while a let c. '* other good people enjo-eu it to the fullest. . Veil, after all, fan is a matter of taste, just like anything else. One fellow likes his dram weakened with warm water and sugar, while the other fellow who is equally as good in every respect prefers his'n right straight out of the bottle. No difference in kind? just a difference in degree. i Teachers' Examination. County Superintendent of Education C. P. Barre held the fail examinations for teachers on Friday.
