Hud Two Fingers Cut,
A few days ago Tony Garver had
two fingers badly lacerated in the saw
mill along the mountain, east of town,
He was carrying some boards in the
mill and slipped, and in trying to re-
cover himself, got his hand in contact
with a rapidly revolving cut-off saw.
The middle finger was split to the sec-
ond joint and another hurt. Amputa-
tion was not necessary,

was prepared for it, five, ten, yes twen-

State College Episode Was Settled Out of
Court,
The disgracefui hazing episode at
State College recently, when fourteen
students were suspended for shooting
Daniel Bhivery’s house with a cannoy,
was finally settled. The students
clubbed together and raised a sum suf-
ficient to pay Mr. Bhivery for the dam-
age done to his property. The stu-
dents were to have appeared in court
last week as a result of Shivery’s pros-
ecution, but the hazers have escaped
that ignominy.
These sophomores had wanted to
haze two freshmen who live at Shi-
very's house, and they surrounded the
place one night and demanded their
surrender, ‘The freshmen refused to
go out and the sophomores stole the
old college cannon, loaded it with to-
matoes and stones and fired against
Bhivery's house, The owner and one
of the freshmen then sallied forth
with shot guns and routed the sopho-
mores,
