Revolvers in School On Monday afternoon Ed. Charles, tho teacher of tho Port Tievertou Grammar school, had an experience not often found outside of Texas or ludian Territory. Somo one told him that ono of his pupils carried a revolver in school. Ho did not place much credence in the remark, at the time, vet thought it advimible to investigate the matter. This was n difficult task, und required the skill of a detoctivt. However, tho dffort wm an aurrwurfngly rewarded, that Mie teacher imaginea uo u the rendevous of a modern johm James. The youthful aspirants to notoriety were loatho to part with thoir shooting irons, but tho teacher locked tho door, und peremptorily demanded a surrender. A few radi cal measures brought the required answer, uud iu u few moments tho teacher's doHk was adorned with (i small quantity of cartridges ; one Smith & Weston revolver, :)2uulibru ; ono common revolver, 22 calibre, with six or seven chambers loaded, and two single-barrel pistol, one of which was loaded. Tho suggestion has been made that the directors furnish Ed. with a Gatling gun, but ho is. of the opinion that the parents of somo of our older street lads, had better ad just their family government ero the noose adjusts itself about the necks of their wayward children . It has been said that "an idle bruin is tho devil's workshop," and this without question, in our town is true.
