ASSAULTED WITH A CLUB
Elmer Stearman, in Hea, Of Passion,
Gets Into Trouble.

Last Saturday evening Elmer Stear-
man, about twenty years of age, assault
ed John F. Woodman with club. in
fiicting injuries of a serious nature.
Mr. Woodman has been confined to his
home all week as result of his injuries.
and will probably be on the GONZALES
cent list for some time. The trouble
arose over dispute concerning finan-
cial matters, in which Stesrman claim
ed Woodman owed him sum of money.
and threatened the the later with great
bodily injury unless the sum claimed
was paid. Woodman, it is said. denied
any obligation and turned to walk away
when Stearman picked up club about
1--WE feet long. dealing Woodman a hard
blow on the side and another on the
head. Woodman. though dazed. was
able to take the club away from the
enraged young man. Parties arriving
on the scene assisted Woodman into the
Gail "E' Pharmacy, where his injuries
were dressed and he WAS taken home.
Mr.. Woodman's scalp was badly cut.
but the serious injury was the blow in
in the side. Hemorrhages which he has
suffered indicate rupture of blood
vessel in the lungs, and he may be
some time in recovering.
Stearman was arrested. waived ex-
animation, and was bound over to the
district court in the sum of 81 ZOO. and
was released on bonds.
