yesterday just before noon at the Cen
tral graded school, eutsaimng an ngly
knife wound in his left thigh- The
two boys were standing in the aisle of
the school room, preparing to get m
line to march out for the noon recess,
when one of them dropped a knife.
Both boys made a move to pack it up,
rronst catching hold of it and said
"Look out, I will cut you.'.' Young
Willeford rushed against him and the
blade ot the knife penetrated the flesh
of his left thigh; . He went to his seat
and did not realize he was out until
he saw the blood from the wound, He
was taken to the home -of Dr. Smooc,
just across Hie street, where bis wound
was dressed.- lie was later taken to
the home of his parents on Sontfir Un
ion street, The. cutting was entirely
accidental and no blame is attached
to either of the participants.'

their candidacy for re-election but it
is a sale prediction tnat several i
the present officers will again go be
fore the voter of Concord asking that
they be retained in their present of

contest. . r
A representative of The Tribune
has learned from an authentic source
that plans are now-on foot to launch
a campaign (for a Citizens ticket. The
names of all the citizens behind this
move could not be learned, but among
itg backers are a number of Concord Si
mose influential men, whose support is
sufficient guarantee that the Citizens
movement i will loom up formidable
when their plans have crystalused.
Just the exact issues the Citizens
movement will wage their 'campaign
on have not yet been made public. but
in a conversation with one of the men
behind the movement it could be clear
ly seen that the issue they intended to
be paramount would be the lax -en
forcement of law, especially the liquor
laws, oy me past cixy auiiunisirauon.
It is also very probalble that tne
republican party in the city will follow
the ensiom, adopted for the first time
four years ago, of naming a full tick
et and waging a vigorous campaign. .
'v Owing to the fact that the election
is several weeks off and all the plans
of each faction are yet premature
nothing definite could be learned, but
if the coming campaign should assume
a three cornered fight it will certainly
prove a hummer.
