CITY MARSHAL ATKlN BAOLY
CUT WHILE ARREST
ING MEXICAN

Last Saturday morning JUN
Lopez, the Mexican who in an ut
fray with Patricio Perez cut the
latter and skipped out, returned to
town. As his victim had recov-
cred from his injuries arrange
ments were made whereby Lopez
could return to his work in the
beet field until he WAS able to pay
a few claims of indebtedness that
were held against him. On his
return, however, instead OF going
to work he went 10 fighting booze
and became SO noisy and trouble
some that the marshal was con.
PEELED to place him under arrest.
When he attempted to do SO Lopez
drew Il razor and struck at Atkin
cutting deep cash in front Of his
left shoulder and severing an ar
terry. After being cut Atkin fired
two shots at the Mexican each TAX
ing effect in his neck. He fell to
the ground and for some time it
WAS thought he would die. Akin,
was taken to DR.. Wilson's office
where his wound WAS Immediately
dressed. The great loss of blood
from the artery reduced him to
such u weakened condition that for
Il time his recovery was in doubt,
but through skillful surgery he re-
gained his strength and will soon
be up again.
Lopez recovered from his
wounds in few hours, and was
placed under arrest by Deputy
Sheriff Bryce. Deputy District
Attorney Merrill came down from
Lamar on No. s and conducted a
preliminary hearing before Justice
Wilkin.
The prisoner was remanded to
the county jail to await the con-
vening Of the district court.
Considerable excitement and in
dignstion was caused among the
citizens by the unfortunate affair
and when it was reported that the
Mexicans were coming in from the
the beet ranch to create trouble,
there was noted an active prepara-
ion to give them warm recep-
ton. The rumor was either I'M
founded or the Mexicans changed
their minds for no demonstration
was made at the trial and peace
again settled over the community.
The prisoner was taken to Lamar
Saturday night and he will proba-
bly, have no opportunity 10 attack
people with his razor again for
several months.
