Out in the hall she met the cook
with the ice cream, and as quietly as
she had left 1t she slipped back to
her accustomed place at the table.

tion OF a complex series OF happen
ings at Herington Saturday. The
series included a fight with brick
bats and a man hunt by armed pur-
suers. Now four men will stand

days events. John orbacker, Dem

but the shot did not strike either
OF the Laucks. Then Meggison be-
gan to fire his shotgun. and both
the Laucks were injured, George In
the back of the arm and Fred In the
back. After the shooting, McCar-
they and Meggison started off to
Herington and swore to complaints
OF assault with intent to kill against
the brothers, naming orbacker as
the one upon whom the assault was
made. Fred and George Lauck were
arrested as they came into town.
They waived preliminary hearing
and were brought to Abilene by Mar
shal Kregar of Herington Saturday
night. Their bonds were fixed at
$500 each, which they were unable
to give. Con Sauer, who works with
the gang at the springs, today gave
bond in the court at Herington ana
brought with him an order for the
release of the two men.
Shooting Wasn't Necessary
The testimony introduced in JUS
t,ce court here this morning was
tangled narrative. The upshot OF IL
all was that Judge Quinn decided
that Mccartney and Meggison should
be held for trial. Attorney Frank
Green OF Herington, representing
the defendants, read some law ana
waxed eloquent in declaring that the
Laucks had committed a felony IN
assaulting Orbacker, that they might
have killed him, and that Mccartney
and Meggison had only done the
right thing and had pursued the
Iaucks with the sole intent to arrest
them as felons and turn them over
to the proper authorities. @. W.
Hurd. who in the absence from the
city OF County Attorney Arthur
Hurd, represented the state' argued
that the Laucks we're unarmed ano
'Leould have been ARRESTED without
J, being shot. Judge Quinn was OF the
