The Washington Republican Washington County Friday February 8, 1901 A Sensational Trial. The trial of Miss Mabel SHULER, of Clifton, was held here last Friday and was interesting from start to finish. She is one of the best lady teachers in the county and about two weeks ago had some trouble with one of Perry BROOKS' boys who attends school where she teaches west of Vining. The boy is 14 years of old and large for his age. He had been unruly and woul dnot obey and resisted punishment. In his resisting he attempted to strike the teacher, but she was too quick for him and struck him a blow or two over the head with the bell. She was arrested on complaint of the boys father and brought here for trial and tried by jury in Justice REITZEL's court. Chas. SMITH was her attorney. The jury was out all nigh and could not agree. Four were for conviction and eight for acquittal. Another trial will be held here soon.
