age to School House.
Keige. Xeb. . Dec. lkJ , 1002.
For the second time has it no\\
happened that windows were bro
ken at the lliege school house , 12 (
miles west of Yalextinc. The male
factor lias not , as yet , Ijeen discov
ered for certain. Whether , 01
not , it was done by that identica
being who at one time during last
summer took pleasure in painting
the blackboard and the door-knob
of said school-house is yet ques
tionable. We , however , are in
vestigating the matter and aftei
having attained evident proof ol
the mischief-doer , he will be dealt
with according to law.
We are rather sorry of such sac
occurrence ; also are we .sorry to
state that the poor creature by his
reckless work has met with an ac
cident , of which the blood covered
windows speak in plain language.
A citizen at first had the impress
ion that most likely it had been
done by hungry wood eating
wolves. From the last census ,
however , we have as yet not i'oimc :
that wolves in Cherry County
have advanced so far in education
as to enable them to write their
names in stenography on the black
boards and windows , as has been
done in our schoolroom.
In conclusion we wish to state
that our wild animals , running on
the prairies , have in fact , more
common sense , than the person
roaming about in the darkness of
the night for the purpose of doing
damage to other people's property.
