-----
Teacher Called the Bluff.
(Rosebud News)
The
principal of the Travis school is evidently "the right man in the right place."
Recently a couple of young men pupils refused to be punished for violating some
of the rules, drew their knives and informed the principal there was nothing
doing. The teacher, however, thinking perhaps that their ancestors might
have at least passed through Missouri at an early day, called the young
gentlemen's bluff and proceeded to "show them." He pulled a six-shooter
and compelled the young men to put up their knives and then gave them a
much-needed trouncing.
