L ist evening as the usual Unes were forined at the postoflïce to receive the evening mail one young man attempted to bring on a rush and was immediately arrested by Chief of Pólice Murray and taken tojail. Thls of cour.se raised an excitement among the bnys and they went to the jail and made some demonstrations to which the offlcers took exceptions, and morearrests followed, se ven in all, Including one town-boy. Mayor Manly ippeared on the scène and cominanded the crowd to disperse, whieli it did. Had the boys not been too demontrative the offlcers say that the first man arrested would have been released without further trouble. The deportïent of the of students who ome to the postoflïce for thelr mails venlngs has been excellent ttiis year nd with one or two exceptions there has een no attempt at rushing. But of ourse in such a crowd one or two mishlet loving or evil disposed persons can oon make serious trouble, and when bey do attempt wrong doing they should be promptly suppresed.
