Dreadfid Happening at Monticello No Longer a Secret

The egg throwing affair at the high school building Saturday evening dur ing field day exercises culminated .in the arrest and conviction of Ernest Cripe and Nelson Kauffman. Both pleaded guilty to throwing eggs and Cripe’s fine and costs amounted to $15.00; Kauffman’s, on account of greater 'milage, amounted to $17.55.. There are several more boys under surveilahce and other action will be taken soon.
