man and Juniors.
Raliegh, N. C., Juno 2.—At Trinity
college, Durham, a*number of Juniors
inwidtd a room In which there were
several freshmen, whom they Bel/.ed
ami undertook to blacken their faces.
The freshmen put up a fierce fight, In
which pistols were drawn and shots
were tired, three students being wound
ed,, one, a freshman, seriously, below
• bo Knee. One Junior was slightly
wounded. The faculty employed a de
tective, and upon his report has ex-
I"died thirteen of the juniors.
The affair occurred in one of the
eollegu dormitories, and created great
sensation, though an effort was made
keep the matter quiet. Trinity col

Methodist Episcopal curch of North
Carolina, and Its president is Rev. Dr.

CITY LEAGUE
ISHEBTAINTY
Organization to be Effected
After Commencement
Season.
' Mlsa Minnie Edwards leaves 111 a
few days for Texas to spend the sum
mer.
The olty league Is a go.
It has bet'll decided that the Univer
sity grounds can he used by thnt
league under certain cundltolns which
will he mainly a quctlon of order kept
during tho games.
Tho prudctlal committee of the
University has agreed to put tho mat
ter In tho hands of two prominent
business men of (he city, they to add
another to tho enmmitteo and he re
sponsible for tho order to bo kept
there during the games. •
The contention made this year by
those having charge of tho grounds
was that some disorder was allowed
last year. In some Instances profani
ty was tolerated and allowed to go
unpunished because of the fact that
there was no very strict management
of the grounds.
The formation of a committee hav
ing the grounds under strict surveil
ance tills year will obliterate all such
features and good order at all times
will be maintained.
On account of the games to he play
'd next week and tho University com
mencement the following week, noth
ing will he done towards tho perma
nent organization of tho lcaguo until
after the commencement hut ns soon
as that is over the league will be or
ganized and tho games will begin.

perilous work.
SHERIFF
GO TO MANASSAS
A Problem for The United
States Government
to Solve.
In no man In tho city do thu tires of
patriotism hum more fiercely than la
the person of Clarke's genial officer,
Sheriff John W. Wlcr.
For tho past few days lie has been
reading a great deal in tho press about
tho encampment of the militia to take
placo in September at Manassas, Va„
and yesterday lie made up his mind
that he would enlist, go Jo thu front
witli tho hoys and light again on the
Helds of the historic battlefield.
Accordingly ho went to Captain
Cnpps of tho Athens Guards and ask
ed for an application blank, but receiv
ed a great shock when ho was inform
ed that In the government tailor shops
there wus no uniform mndc that would
likely grace Ills magnificent form and
that it would lie absolutely impossible
to ever get n proper alignment of a
company on him.
But tho sheriff is made of sterner
stuff and Is now actively engaged In
the formation of another military com
pany of a distinct class where ho will
he at home and says that he Is going
to Manassas anyhow.
Factory Dam Will Have to
be Closed at Once by
Order of Mayor.
Tlie drawing off of the poml at the
Athens factory has caused consider
able comment by people living in that
section of the city.
The gates at the dam being opened
the water lias run off and the rivt
banks have been left exposed for se
ral feet cm each side of the stream
The people living in that section of
the city commented ou the fact and
called the attention of Sanitary In
speetor Center to the necessity oi
remedying tho state of affairs from a
health standixdnt.
Sanitary Inspector Center reported
tlie mater to the board of health and
that body held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. At the meeting it was
found that an ordinance of the city
ode covered the matter thoroughly
and the mayor was asked to see that
the gates at the dam were at once
closed. Mayor Rhodes will have this
matter attended to at once.
It seems that President Vincent
knew nothing of the water having
been lowered at the dam, and it must
have been done by someone who was
desirous of catching fish easily.
