complaint against Frank Harriman charging him with assault with a
deadly weapon. The alleged assault was made on September 16 but Clawson

dressed the man's wounds. Sheriff Bullard went out and brought Harriman
into town on last Thursday. On Monday he was released from the county

district court, when his case will come up for hearing.
The knife used was a corn knife and Clawson is said to have come
