Farmers Held for Assault.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. B.-(Special)
George W.. Mckee and son Fred, charged
with assault TO commit great bodily injury
on the person OF Is. F. Palm, near West
Union, the eighth of last month, had a
hearing before Judge Humphrey in the
county court, yesterday. According to the
testimony Palm, while working under
orders from Frank Anderson, the owner
of a farm rented to the McKees. was
assaulted and badly injured about the
face by Fred Mckee. There had been
trouble in regard to putting in crops and
as Palm seemed the first to incur dis
pleasure, the wrath of the McKees literally
fell upon his head, it being stated that
Mckee senior stood in a wagon and
urged his son to do Palm up. The ply
sicians who testified we're of the opinion
that the injuries were not inflicted by the
bare hand. but that some hard. blunt
instrument had been used. AS the defend
ants offered little or no defense, Judge
Humphrey bound them both over, to the
next term of the district court.
