Bowmans. He went there and asked
if the woman was in. One of the
Bowmans, so the story goes, said she
was in and the other said she was not
there. Harbaugh then entered the
spring house to search for the truant
woman, when some one hit him on the
head with a club and knocked hi.a
down. lie soon gathered himself up
and being stout man, commenced to
make for his supposed assailants. lie
seized butcher knife which he found
laying about and commenced cutting
and stabhing at terrible rate. Jno.
Bowman w;s badly stabbed in the
abdomen, and his quits protrulrd from
his body, and also made a cash across
his arm. Jacob Bowman, who came
to the rescue Of his brother, was seiz-
ed ny HarbauSh and cut across the
breast into the bone, the knife making
a deep inclSion INTO the flesh. The
Bowmans are represented to be peace
able men and quietly disposed. But
Il woman was in the way, and there's
