Monticello Hazers Had Pistols—Mild Punishment.

Monticello Journal. Some members of the freshman class, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Jesse L. Fauber, had a week end party at Edgetown, breaking up yesterday. The occasion was marred by an attempted hazing of one or two of the freshman boys by some of the boys of the older classes. The appearance, of an irate father on the scene speedily ended the hazing proposition, but not before the parent had given one or two of the would-be hazers a elpver dose of his fist or hand. One boy was brought over to town and by skillful questioning soon gave up the whole story. A whole grist of. revolvers and pistols was found and the parents of the boys were notified of the situation. The youthful carriers of the guns were let off with a lecture and a warning that a repetition of the offense meant a lodgo ment In jail.
