thOj.Oasu Interview

With

Misd Oonnor and James Stark.

A thorough investigation of the tearing down of the flag from school house, No. 9, in Clark township has been made, and in brief are as follows: Miss Emma Connor purchased a fifty cont Hag in this city, and told her school children that she was going to place it on the school house. They were all delighted and circulated the news over the neighborhood. James Stark, who had taken his children from school, becnise, as he says, "the teacher was partial," said that it should not be put up. On Saturday afternoon, Oct 24, the teacher secured the services of two men and they steepled the flag staff on the top of the belfry of the school house.' On Sunday morning, Oct. 25, James Stark went to the home of Walter Clark, where was also Frank Null, and these three went to the school houso, and using the township ladder, broke off the flag staff and threw the flag to the ground. Stark then took tho flag and nailed it to tho gate post of a Mr. Lilly, where Miss Connor found it when she returned from church. On Tuesday tho flag was placed upon a pole and stuck down the water spout, and is still there, although clubs have lieen thrown at it.

Miss Connor was seen and is daily receiving more mail than any dozen persons in Ladoga receive in a week. These letters are from all over the country, and contain clipping from newspapers with highly sensational accounts of the affair. She thinks she is having honor thrust upon her, and had no idea the affair would assume such gigantic proportions. But she says that all of tho actual patrons of the school approve of hor action in the matter, and that every person, ns well us she, is glad that she is to be given a silk flag, and looks toward to that event with great pleasure. The men who caused the rumpus are Jumes Stark, 50 years old, Walter Clark, a young married man, and Frank Null, a single man about thirty years old. These men got mad at Miss Connor on account of an alleged partiality in the punishment of a girl for fighting, and because she made a son of Stark move his seat in the school room and forced the parents of the Clark boy to purchase a certain book according to law. Such trifling things as theso are the foundation of the ill-will of those men against the teacher.

Miss Connor is a determined woman and when she once speaks the word, that is tho law. She is a fluent talker, and makes very plain her statements of every incident connected with the affair, and from careful inquiry it was learned that all her statements were true. There is probably no danger now but that the little flag will not be torn down, but it may be knocked down by the saw-log-sized clubs that are hurled at it during the night time by some "tin known" rowdies.

THE FAMOUS scnooii HOUSE. The school house from whose ^belfry the flag was jerked down, is about three miles south-east of Ladoga. It is a brick and situntod in a large and shady lot on the south side of the road, and between the homes of Stark and Clark and Null. Thus it is virtually surrounded by the men who invaded the township property, and tore down the flag which they stole and nailed upon the gatepost of a member of the G. A. R. The little flag now floats and Baps against the roof, defying its late oncmies to take it down.

INTERVIEW WITH JAMES STARK. .Tames Stark lives about a quarter of a mile this side of the school house, and the liopse sits back in the yard on a hill, overlooking the entire surrounding country. The reporters hitched their horse along the road while the object of their search stood in a back door and sized them up with frowns on his face, He disappeared once but soon came back and gazed BB before. However, newspaper men are not afraid of frowns not. of any mnn who is implicated in pulling

down flags, and they boldly walked up tho bill, past a spring house, into the g-ito and up to the door where .Tamos Stark was standing. "Good afternoon," said one of the reporters, while the other in turn sized up the man who was supposed to be the chief among the guilty pnrties. "Howdy," returned Stark with firmness. "Is this Mr. Stark?" was asked. "That is just who I am, sir," ho said with emphasis. "Yes sir, thanks. Wo are out investigating this matter of the Hag being removed from the school house, and dosiro to ask you the particulars of tho matter and what prompted the act." "Yos, you aro newspaper men, and are trying to find out something," said Stark. "As wo understand that you were implicated in tho affair, it was boat to see you iersonally and get your side of the story."

At this point he ventiirod to ask the cold and shivering reporters into the house, where they warmed thoir fingers around a cook stove, and eyed a shot gun which hung ovor the di, or. There waa a lady in the room, supposed to bo his wife, "but as Stark did not introduce her, this only a supposition.

Stark then told about the causes which led him to take his children from school, and said that "ho took duwn the flag liecause his children could not go to school there." "It is understood that Miss Connor will recoi\e a handsome silk flag soon," said one of tho newspaper inon. "Yes, I was in Ladoga yesterday and heard that tho Grand Army was intending to give hor a silk flag," snappishly said Mr. Stark, with groat emphasis on tho words "Grand Army." "That is true, but tho flag is given by the P. O. S. of A., S. of. V. and G. A. R. jointly, and not tho G. A. R. alone," said the lighting reporter. "Is that so?" he returned, as a constitution of the P. O. S. of A. was handed to him with advice to road the contents. "You can put in yoursparo moments reading this b.ok to abetter advantage than pulling nvn flags," put in the other reporter. "I will read it," said Stark as ho fumbled through tho pages.

Mr. Stark, to lie plain nnd bring the matter to a fine point, who pulled down tho flag was asked. •Three of us did it—I, Walt Clark and Frank Null," answered Stark with quickness. "Who actually broke off the flag from the bolfry?" was asked

I will not answer that, let the other side answer this," he said. "Did you meet Frank Null in the road and tell him if he did not go along with you to pull down the flag that you would thrash him was asked. "I did not meet Null in the road. We met at Clark's and all went from there to the school house," answered Stark. "How did you get up high enough to get hold of the flog was asked Stark. "I suppose a ladder was used," said Stork, as he winked his eye nnd spit. "Thoy are going to put a pole in tho school yard and use it for hoisting flags," carnally remarked one of the visitors. "I have no objection if tho trustee is willing," said Stark. "Did you say that the flag was a rag, and nothing but a Republican flag, anyhow?" was asked. "Well I did say that it was a Republican who put it up and that it was put up to spite me, and I took it down to spite her," said Stark. "You surely do not object to the flag being on the school house do you was asked. "There is no law for it, and nobody else does it," he said. "You are mistaken the-e are hundreds of school houses where the flag is hoisted and no person should object," answered tho spokesman. "Didn't know that," returend Stark. "Didn't you people Hy yourself liable to the law for doing what yon did was asked of Stark. "Yos, I guess we did, a little," he answered, "but I myself nailed tho flag up on Lilly's gate-post." "The grand jury may stir you fellows up over this matter, and make you wish that you had not pulled down the flag to spite tho teocher," said the reporter. "Yes, so I hear," said Stark. "Of course, you will be present when the new flag is presented to Miss Conner, will you not?" was asked. "I will not be there," he said, "but will tell you anything you want to know further about that teacher." "ThisiB all we desire to know," replied one of the reporters, and bidding the lady in the room "good evening," the two newspaper men were esoorted from the house by Mr. Stark, and went on their way rejoicing.

All the people about Ladoga condemn tho action of these threo men, and they aro good and loyal citizens, who love our flag with patriotic devotion.

The day is not set for the presentment of the silk flag to Miss Connor,but due announcement will be made.

Nothing was done, however, beyond the calling of the probate docket. All, without distinction of party, wish Judge Harney a pleasant and successful career during the next six years.
