the Green river gravity water sys-
TEN, is in the county jail today
charged with assault with dead
ly weapon, while his victim. c..
Erickson, workman, lies at his
home in Seattle suffering from a
dangerous knife wound in his
right temple, inflicted after a dis
pute over the laying of a pipe in
the ditch yesterday. When SEN
ters stabbed Erickson he fled to
the hills. He borrowed a revolt
yer and cartridges on the pretext
of shooting a bear. Later he re-
turned the gun and gave himself
up to Sheriff Robert Longmire
who had reached the camp. The
trouble started when Senter or
dered Erickson to change the po-
sition of a pipe, which Senters
said was not placed right In the
ditch.
