Indignation at Fever Point. M. F. Cochrane moved that the words “fake” in reference to reporters be stricken out, as the resolution was too general. The Call had not touched the story, and should not-be held culpable. The words were stricken out by a vote. After passing the resolutions the board ike vigilantes who had per- adjourned, formed a necessary but disagreeable duty. Indignation runs very high and the community is stirred as it never has been in years past. Sympathy is every- where cxpressed for Mr. Blumenthal and Principal Van Horn. In a day or so the School Trustees will meet. individually they have investigataed the story, and it i more than likely that they will pass a resolution denouncing the published ac- count as untrue and upholding Principal Van Horn. In a written statement hend- | éd to_the chairman of to-night's meeting Mr. Ven Horn said: “I saw the whole affair. thal girl was coming downstairs young Dunand was going up. As he passed her near the banister he put his arm against her waist and back a step or-so.
