Squire Bruner has a number of criminal cases docketed. >but up to yesterday none of the alleged culprits had been brought in. A. E. Zook of Gifford filed an affidavit last week against Alva Hall, Harris Swisher and Gossie Brown, charging them with being drunk on the public streets of Gifford. Lester Brown of Rensselaer is charged by P. J. Greisen with assault and battery on the latter, on Saturday night. W. W. Harrod of Union tp.,„ filed an affidavit Monday against Herbert Garriott, also of Union, for assault and battery on complainant Saturday night. Harrod, who is between 50 and 60 years old, while Garriott is a young and athletic man, was badly beaten up, his nose being broken and his face a mass of bruised flesh. It is reported that Garriott had been keeping company with Harrod's daughter and that Harrod had told the girl that Garriott got drunk and she then turned the young man down. Garriott “laid” for the old gentleman, it is said and beat him up terribly, while he was on the road home. The assaulted man required the services of a physician.
