At the never;il hcIiooI dintrict
nifi't infs in th' county a few cl;iyn
a, tin ii.-4ti.il amount of wraiij;
linr, anil tj;i I blood wan shown.
Out in the Still! district, near thin
city on the Platte bottom, the bad
blood and bitter feeling between
the two factions culminated jn a
snniiinary eiif;aement. The
school house is generally known an
the Still! school. The" occasion was
the adjourned meeting of the board
of trustees, and th
re-location of the school house was
Hie casus belli. The battle was
commenced whe.i Director McCros
key, with his index finder upon an
outspread map, declared tin- inten
tion was to re-locate the school
upon the s.ot indicated.
At this juncture Charley Vande
venter ins. mated that Mct'roskey
was misleading" them in regard to
tlu- exact spot of the new site. Mc
lioskey indignantly denied Hie
charge, whereupon Vandeventer by
a well directed blow struck him
down. McCroskey was up in a
moment and sei.in the larjjrc oil
lamp upon the deck raised it above
his head with the intention ol
luiriiii"- it at his assailant, but
Finally replaced the lamp in its pr
per place. Meanwhile tho friend
ot tlie two principals Had taUen ii
cudgels in behalf of their respective
chiefs anil for a short space the
theatre of learninir was turned into
a pandemonium ot disputant and
the airVas tilled w.tli llyuif mis
Miles and re.it with the yells and
nhrieks of the assaulting and as
saulted. The result was a battered
community and a summons sworn
out ayaoist Vandeventer on thrt
ililfcrciit counts by Director Mc
Criiskey.
