assailants wound He is from Medaryville, Ind,
and was here visiting his sister and relatives.

against him, and is strengthened by his refusal
to divulce the name of his partner. Hatsburg's
revolver could not be found, but three empty
cartridges were in his pockets Both are young
men, not yet OF age. It is generally thought
