Courtney was severely bitten in the hand
by the Infatuated woman and Abe Forney
and others of the posse badly scratched
about the hands and face. 1t was neces-
sary to handcuff the woman and tie the
man, they fought so desperately. They
have been a menace to the community for
some time and were feared by the neigh
