CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND
INTENT TO KILL.
Dayton Residents Have Mixup With
Gun and Club.

Word reached here Thursday
morning of an affray that
took place in Dayton the night
before between two residents of
that place in which a gun and club
were used and one of the participants
was somewhat injured The difficulty
was between George Eglin and Adam
Schock. 1t seems that Will Guild,
Mrs Eglin and Schock we're sitting
by the we'll at the Guild residence
when Mr.. Eglin came home and went
to bed. 1t appears that Eglin claimed
he heard Schock make disparaging re-
marks about him and that when Mrs.
Eglin and her brother. Mr.. Guild,
came into the house arose and taking
a gun started out the back door of
the residence, after remarking that he
would get" Schock. Schock heard
this remark and when Egiin stepped
out of the door Schock struck him on
the head with a piece of wod, knock
ing him down and striking him sew
eral more blows. When Shock found
he was not going to get shot he de-
sisted and Eglin went to visit a doc
tor. He also had Schock arrested on
a charge of assault with intent to kill.
District Attorney Willis, Warren Hau-
ser, Clark Guild and Miss Mabel Sling
erland motored to Dayton Thursday
and Schock was given hearing be-
fore Justice Cooke of that place. He
was placed under $500 bonds to appear
before the grand jury or at such time
as the District Attorney should pre-
sent the case on information and be-
lief Bonds were furnished with c. G.
Brann and Will Guild as sureties and
Schock was released.
