Schroeder and wife spent From the Seneca Courier-Tribune) As a result of a fight in the street In front of Britt's barber shop Mon-'day morning, Oscar Neeley, 60 years of age, colored, is held under bond of $400, charged with an assault with attempt to kill Columbus Greer, 85, coolred. Neeley, a little later, swore out a complaint against Greer, charging assault. One shot was fired by Neeley who used a 38 calibre revolver. Greer opened a heavy attack upon Neeley. His fists crashed again and again into the face of the old man.

He knocked him down, time and again, witnesses said. At last eye completely closed from the blows of his powerful antagonist, Neeley opened fire: He had opportunity for but one shot and this one went wild, striking the upper portion of a plate glass window in the Britt shop and deflecting from the glass into the jamb. When Neeley grabbed his pistol Greer fled. He surged through the barber shop, hurling those aside who stood in his path and plunged through the glass in the back door of the shop. He did not stop' to try the door.

He was on his way. Neeley followed half blinded and Jbrandishing the gun. As he entered the door he saw Earl Haight crouching behind the fern at the front window In his wild condition it is believed that Neeley may have thought Haight the man who had attacked him. At any rate he was bringing the gun to bear directly upon Haight when Ed Fisher intervened. It is not improbable that Fisher's presence of mind and quick action saved Haight serious if not fatal injury.

Fisher caught the gun and as he grasped it the hammer fell upon the fleshy part of his hand. Neeley's face was a sight to behold It could hardly be recognized as a Tuesday ii Marysville.

The casing was all' pulled, however, and it was found that several joints were kinked, this resulting from the jar upon it when it was first lowered and fell a distance of some eight feet, and the shoe was cracked. The new shoe was put on and the work of again lowering the casing is in progress.
