For the week ending Jan. 11, 1925 Rural School Badly Shot Up When Charles M. Miller, teacher in the Richardson school district, just east of Bend, visited the school house this morning, he found that the place had been visited by vandals, who shattered a small desk bell, windows, a wall clock and hanging lights with bullets from a rifle or pistol.
Since the school has not been in use since a few days before Christmas, the vandalism occurred at some time during the Christmas recess. The shooting up of the school house has been reported to Deschutes county officials and an investigation is being made. In recent months, much wood has been stolen from this school.
