Young, principal of the high school into the Thurston street ditch Thursday night, Orin Jenkins, a prominent student of Albany College was today sentenced by Justice of the Peace I.. I.. Swan to pay a fine of $50 and costs, amounting in all to $54. Jenkins refused to tell who the oth er members of the party were and for resistance the judge placed the maximum fine for assault and battery. Thursday night a party of boys, some of w hom were high school and smile college students, mostly high school however, waited for Prof. Young until he left the high school about nine o'clock. Then lunging out from the shadows of the building they tackled him football fashion, threw a coat over his head and carried him to the ditch three blocks away and drop ped him over the railing into the mud and water. All of the hoys were mask ed, hut in the struggle Jenkins' mask came off and lie was identified. Before being thrown into the ditch Prof, Young was asked if there was anything which he wanted to take out of his pockets, and then one of boys grabbed his watch, it being alleged thai the chain was broken. After the ducking the hoys all fled, leaving the instructor to climb out, find his watch and make his way home. The incident is not closed yet, ac ordlng to City School Supt. C. W. Boctlicher. While Jenkins would not tell any of the other names an effort will be made to get at the bottom of the affair. The school board will take the matter up tonight. It is not a personal matter," said Mr. Boctlicher today. "We have nothing against Mr. Jenkins person ally. He is a fine young fellow and personally I have heard a great deal in favor of lujn. This incident is gn- fortuitate. We arc not prosecuting the matter in any spirit of spite or re- vengr, but purely on the grounds of good government and disciplines in the schools. The trouble dates back to last fall and is the result of a fight between two factions in the school. Francyl Howard was elected president of the senior class ami also editor of the Wliirlwind. One faction wanted him to resign one of the offices, but he re fused on account of the manner in which his resignation was demanded. 'The whole trouble lies in the ac- lioin of a certain clique who have been dissatisfied all year. Prof. Young has refused to accede to their whims. and has been made the object of their attacks." Friends of Jenkins have a different story and say many uncomplimentary things about Prof. Young. The affair is not settled and promises to furnish more sensations.
