Rockingham. R. F. D. 6. Like
many uncalled for happenings at
school, an affair took place at Gibson
Hill school bouse last Wednesday,
when Mr. Walter Garrett was cut
seriously and beat up badly by two
other boys using a knife and ball
bat. The two young ruffians are
Messrs. John Mills and John Yar
borough. The fray started when John Yar
borough got the ball that Garrett was
playing with and said that he was
going to cut it up and got out his
knife and did cut the the ball. Then
the Garrett boy tried to take the ball
away from him, Yarborough then
said. "I'll cut you," and started to
fighting. Garrett tried to hold Yar
borouRh's hand that the knife was in,
but then John Mills took up for Yar
borough and knocked Garrett in the

hands are also cut. One gash In the

about an inch and a half deep
Garrett did not have his coat on
nothing but his two shirts, and they
were cut all to shreads. The Gar
rett boy is a quiet fellow about elgh
teen years of age and he has the
sympathy of all this community,
Mills and Yarborough are about
sixteen or seventeen years old and
they have a bad record. Yarborough
was expelled from this school last
year on account of a fight that he was
the pernetrater of. Last year he
he almost killed a boy and was ex
polled from the school and nothing
more said about it, but from all re
ports he went too far this time.
Immediately after the fracas the
teacher expelled Yarborough, and
whipped Mills, but he would not take
off his coat as she commanded him
to do. Then the committee . men
came and told him he could take off
his coat and take a good whipping cr
go home. Mills said, "I'll go home,
my daddy said for me not to take
oft my coat for no woman to whip
me." Mr. Yarborough brought his
boy back and wanted the teacher to
just whip him and let him come on
back to school but the committee
would not let either of the boys
come back.
The parents are upholding these
boys in their meanuess. Mr. Yar
borough talked very impolite to the
teacher.
They tried to compromise with Gar
rett but he would not hear to any
thing of the kind. They offered to
pay the doctor bill and all other ex
penses and stop the matter but Gar
rett Is procuring warrants for the
boys and will push the rase to the full
extent of the law.
The Student went to see the Gar
rett boy after he got hurt and his
clothes were bloody as could be and
the back of his shirts are cut all to
pieces. At present Garrett Is resting
very nicely and will get up soon.

el to Austria Little Other Fight
ing Taking Place.
Beset on the North, east and west
by Austro-Hungarlan armies and
with all lines of retreat cut off, ex
cept into Albania, where hostile
tribesmen must be faced, Montenegro
has asked Austria-Hungary for peace,
and her request has been granted.
The unconditional laying down of
arms by Montenegro was made the
basis of the opening of peace nego
tiations and Montenegro accepted
these terms Imposed by the Dual
Monarchy.
This announcement was made to
the Hungarlun Parliament by Pre
mier Tlsza, and it was met with an
ovation on the part of the members
of the chamber. Thus comes the first
withdrawal of any belligerent from
either of the alliances that have been
fighting with each other since Au
gust 1914.
It has been conceded for days that
tho situation of Montenegro was a
critical one. Although the army of
the little Kingdom fought valiantly
against the Austro-Hungarians, it
was unequal, because of inferior
forces, luck of guns and It has been
stated, a shortage In commissariat
supplies, to the task of holding back
tho armies that had, in conjunction
with their allies, succeeded in crush
ing Serbia.
Already the Montenegrin Capital
and many of its Important towns had
fallen Into the hands of the Auutio
Hungarlans, and the Invaders were
well o their way to Montenegro',
chief sen port Antivarl. Last ac
counts had the Montenegrin Govern
ment at Scutari. The whereabouts
of King Nicholas Is not known.

Deep Interest In Mexican Situation.
Everything in Washington is being
subordinated to Interest in the Mex
ican situation growing out of the mur
der of the Americans by Mexican
bandits at Sata Ysubel. The Europe
an war and other things which have
been occupying the stage have been
thrown into the shadows by it, and
Congress will no doubt put in the
week talking about Mexico. General
Carianzu, president of Mexico, whose
government has been recognized by
the United States, has pent assur
ances that ho will take every possible
step to punish--the men responsible
for it.
Members of the House and Senate
are unanimous In their Insistence that
the Sana Ysnbel bandits be punish
ed, but the majority oppose any step
that would result In intervention,
which might menn destruction of the
de facto Government the United
States and the Pan-American Nations
led in establishing.
aero government was
overthrown, Huerta himself elevated
to the presidency.
Huerta devoted himself to the mil
itary career at a very early age.
Born at Chihuahua In 1854, he en
tered the Military academy of Chlp
ultepec at the age of 17 and passed
through the full course of gradua
tion in 1875. when he was commis
sioned second lieutenant of engineers.
During his acedemic term be was
known for his predilection of scien
tific studies, particularly astronomy
and mathematics.
Huerta commanded all the detach
ed government forces In the State of
Guerrero at the beginning of the Ma
dero revolution. When Madero acced
ed to the presidency, General Huerta
was sont back Into Morelos with a
force to put down the Zapata rebell
ion. As a result of ill-feeling grow
ing out of this campaign Huerta was
recalled.
Huerta was the moving spirit in
the consummation of the plot that
resulted In the seizure of the person
of President Madero and his brother,
Gustave.
