A Ia RECIPROCITY
GEORGE NEELY ABOUT AS BADLY
TREATED MAN AS LYING in
HOSPITAL.

1t was n difficult matter for Judge
Slack to determine who was the one
being prosecuted In a case that came
before his honor yesterday, The de-
fendant, George Nicely was arraigned
on n charge of assault and battery
with intent TO Kill, but so near had
Neely hugged death that 1t seemed
almost a shame to charge the man.
Neely was placed under bond Of
$500 and committed TO jail as result
of an embryonic riot I'm the Usage oil
fields northwest of Tulsa recently.
The charge was preferred by Fred
Nash now lying in the hospital suffer
ing from several gashes inflicted with
knife across his abdomen.
The fight grew out Of a controver-
sy between the men which lead to a
heated discussion. and the only alter
native was to end the argument with
brute force. Nicely was badly wor-
sted in the fight and looked more like
patient for the hospital himself than
candidate for the county jail. He
was suffering from several slight knife
cuts across the chest, and was greatly
lweakened from the loss of blood.
