Conflict of Authority. About ten days ago Mrs. Thompson decided to keep her children at home from school, offering as an excuse that their presence at home was needed on account of work that had to be done in conneetioa with moving. The teacher insisted that the children attend school and this test of authority brought about the assault and battery.

child to its teacher, and the latter in order to correct the 'girl ordered her to appear before the principal of the school. Had to I'se Force. To accomplish this, a little physical force was necessary and by the time that neighborhood gossip and 'Mrs. Grundy had talked it over, the child was almost beaten to death by the teacher. The mother upon hearing of the alleged mistreatment of her hopeful, flew into a rage and went forthwith to room 3 where she encountered the "cruel" teacher and when gossip had

finished with the report, there did not seem to be much left of the teacher of room 3. She was said to be crippled, incapacitated for further work and "licked" so badly in the first round that she went' down for the count. True Facts of the Case. , The true facts' are that the mother, who was very angry at the time, forgot herself and shook the teacher.

crowd. One of the surprises of the evening was the large attendance of women. The Griffith republicans point to- the .interest the women are taking in the campaign as an evidence that the wind is blowing In the right di

rection. Mr. McFadden, the candidate for assessor on the republican ticket in Calumet township, made the first speech of the evening. He was followed by Hon. William H.

Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 10. Wayslda

Wait is the name of a new station on

the Erie, situated between Crown Point and Griffltn, which in time promises to be a thriving little suburb of either

town, providing the "Harriman Er

out of Griffith for two hours or more, while the engineer and crew take the delapidated old smoke producer back to Hammond for repairs.

place for over two hours, arriving at

Crown Point after 10 o'clock and now those that ride regularly on the "go-

get-there" train of the Harriman line.

are planning schemes whereby they can Improve their time financially and

mentally while the train makes its

stops at the desolate spot, one mile or

so on the outskirts of Griffith. Many schemes were planned by the passengers on the trail last night as they waited, tired, supperless, hungry and exceeding wrothy for the old derelect known as an "engine" to returnr from Hammond and among some of the schemes suggested, appeared the following: . 1." The Immediate establishment of a lunch counter at the spot where thst old engine refuses to go further. 2. That the Erie establish a moving picture show, near the place, so that the passengers may be entertained while waiting. Scenes depecting a snow-bound train with staring passengers or moving slides showing engines of an older type, giving poorer service than the Erie, would be Interesting to the passengers, and might help the Erie's cause to some extent. 3. The making of an official censor to see that the irate passengers drink nothing stronger than water, and say nothing stronger than . It was suggested that a man used to strenuous life be appointed to this job. 4. The passengers also agreed t make all their evening business engagements in- Crown Point hereafter provisional. The proviso being at the expense of the "Harriman Erratic" to

make good.
