HAZERS’ VICTIM DIES

Arrest of Boys Expected For Stringing Up Fellow Pupil by Ankles. Indianapolis, March 22. — The authorities .of White county have learned that Charles Stintson is dead as a result of hazing by fellow pupils. Stintson, it is alleged, was strung up by his ankles to a sapling and left banging so long that he died a few hours after he was taken down. Several teachers of the school had been driven away by unruly pupils. A few days ago a new teacher was employed. He was more determined than his predecessors and whipped several rebellious boys. The boys blamed Stintson for their, humiliation. Arrests are expected.
