the Rosebud stage -for J. W. Warden
on July 1st , which happened to been
on Friday an unlucky day , and in
going down the steep hill just this
side of Rosebud his " \vagon . break
failed to work and with a heavy
load beside five passengers and
himself it was too much for
the team to hold and away they
went down the hill at breakneck
speed until they came to a turn in
the road near.the font of the hill
when the wagon upset , throwing
the occupants out in the ditch at
the side. One horse was thrown i
and thejeaders were whirled back !

had his face skinned tip pretty
badly , his thumb and his hip was
hurt. The other occupants were

the United States to free the Philippines -

foreign nations. We have not yet
had a taste of war and its cruelties
but we are on the highway leading
to it ,
Gordon Journal : A college that
will not expel students for hazing
does not deserve the patronage of
decent public.
A man in New York has sued a
college for § 10,000 damage for in
juries to hi ? son who was hazed.
We hope he will get it. If there
ever was an abomination it is this
hazing. It is immoral , beastly and
unlawful , What do you think of
lot of so called students breaking
into a young man's room , drag-
ding him out in his night clothes
and treating him indecently and
cruel , without any cause what
ever ? It is not much wonder we
grow up men to head mobs , to
have no respect for the law and
decent thingsv when they start the
work in their school life. *
