AFTER MAN WHO CUT ELMER HAMMERBACKER

F. H. Miller Deputised as Constable to Arrest Otto Harbert, Said to Be at Buck Creek. - ■ - _ Elmer Hammerbacker, the young man who was severely cut by Otto Harbert at Morrell’s sale, east of McCoysburg, Tuesday, is now regarded to be out of danger unless infection should ensue. He has been removed from the Morrell home to the farm he tenanted himself, about a mile west of Morrell’s. He was keeping “bach” at the farm, but now his brother-in-law is staying with him. Squire Bussell issued a warrant for Harbert’s arrest Wednesday and Thursday it was reported that Harbert had gone to Buck Creek, where he is said to have relatives, and this Friday morning F. H. Miller, who had been deputized as a constable, went to that town to arrest Halbert if he can be found.
