It was as reckless a thing as I ever witness- ed. When the smoke had cleared away, | saw seven horsemen riding off. They had killed one of Morgan’s army. “Years afterward, when I was a school teacher, the children of George Gibson, who was one of those seven horsemen, were among my pupils. I asked Gibson how they had ever dared to attack such a superior force in broad daylight, whereevery chance was against them. “ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘we were good and full of whisky.’ ”” $100 Reward $100.

The speakers pointed out that the German emperor had repeatedly ad- vised the officers to practice with swords and to settle their affairs of honor with that arm, but the officers object, on the ground that the sword is not severe enough to wash their stained honor clean. The meeting finally adopted a reso- lution asking the minister of war to give the students’ committee an equal voice with the officers’ courts of hon- or in settling difficulties between the students and the office: The reso- lution also asked the minister to per- mit the use of pistols only in the ease of grave family insults and when one of the parties is physically unable to fight with the sword.
