MONTICELLO MAN MAY GO TO PEN

Dr. George Sangster Being Returned To Answer Charge Of Forgery Preferred By A. K. Sills. Monticello Herald; Among the indictments returned by the grand jury last week was one against Dr. Geo. Sangster for forgery. The settlement by his brother last spring of all his debts on a 75 per cent basis and the taking up of all the notes was supposed to have ended not pnly his civil liabilities but the criminal prosecution as well, but it is said there was still a photographic copy of one of the forged notes accessible to the grand jury, and it was upon this evidence that an indictment was returned. He waa known to be living in fancied security at Williams, Arizona, and steps were taken to secure his return here. .Sheriff Price received word Saturday from the Sheriff there to come and get him as he had him under arrest and was awaiting orders. Hs started the same day for Arizona, accompanied by Marshal Dobbins, and is expected here with his prisoner in a few days.

gives up a fog that obscures the battle from the view of spectators. But it is still going on. You can hear everything that you can’t see. Your ears come _in mighty handy if you went there as a spectator. Finally the sophomores, who are reported to be getting the worst of it, send in a reserve of fifty fresh fighters, all big, husky fellows and they start a tying game that would make an oats binder look like a baby trying to tie a blue ribbon around its neck with its toes. The tide of battle turns, the freshmen are overcome, the sophomores who were' in bondage are released and the freshmen are tied to a long chain, their hands behind them. There is hardly a whole shirt in the outfit and trousers and underclothes are so badly torn that the wbole outfit looks like a lot of chorus girls minus the paint. The paint, however, comes later. The chained plebes, now thoroughly subdued, are marched over to Stuart ’field. The taunting sophomores march beside them and jeer them with mild but stinging invectives. The throng follows. On Stiyirt field they are painted with yellow paint, with a few additional marks, such as blackened eyes and green necks. They are made the plaything of the sophomores until 11 o’clock at night, when they are turned loose and seek the bathrooms of their respective quarters. Gasoline, sapolio, machine oil and acids are employed to remove the paint and dirt and grime. And then they retire with the happy thought that the next day is a holiday and the following one is Sunday and that they won’t have to do anything but nurse their bfuises until Monday morning. And that’s all, and believe me, it’s enough. Clarence Smith got a bump in the side of the head and the wind knocked out of him. ( Virgil Robinson, John Groom and Ralph Hammond escaped injury. Virgil wormed loose from the chain add escaped being painted. Few were so fortunate. “The “16” will now come down from the tank and “15” will replace it, the students will all be on an equality and will start in to get some of the information that dad is putting up a thousand a year for, while he and ma and the rest of the family go on half rations and cut out the “extras.” And this would naturally bring up the question, “Why is a tank,” but that is still another story and our readers must learn to use their imagination for part of these things.
