Show POUR WINE IN SCHOOL PUNCH Boyish PranK ShocKs Staid Temperance Community. Guests at High School Re-ception Re-ception Find Punch ORANGE, Oct. 26. For pouring wine in the punch prepared for the guests at the Orange Union high school reception, fonr of the boys brought eertnre. down upon themselves, from the principal and trustees, and farther, brought about the arrest of Peter Holtz, a winery employee, em-ployee, for selling liquor to minors. Holtz of Joseph . Young 's winery, southeast - of Orange, was arrested by Marshal Jernigan and brought before Justice Chandler, charged with unlawfully unlaw-fully selling intoxicating drink to Roy Ford, a sixteen-year-old student of the high school. ' Principal Charles E. Taylor Tay-lor was the complainant. Holtz entered a plea of not. guilty and sked for a jury trial. - . On the day of tbe reception, fonr boys, all under 18, went to the winery and purchased five-quart bottles of wine for which they paid $1.25. Part of the wine they drank on the way back to the high school. Upon arriving there they were joined by a number of other boys who went with them to the punch room where they found the refreshing drink and emptied two bottles of wine into it. During the evening the guests detected the liquor and there was much wondering wonder-ing and surmising concerning the guilty ones, for Orange is a decidedly temperance temper-ance town. The .report that "wine had been served in the high school punch" was soon spread about and the results that followed were rather more serious than the lively joung boys had anticipated. The next day Principal Taylor found the boys and reprimanded tLem severely. severe-ly. The thoroughly aroused trustees did the same, and immediately passed a rule that the act of introducing any intoxicating liquor in any way at any high school function would be punished by explosion' from the institution. |
