A W Rowell Cut By Lynn Cave Sunday -
City Marshal Receives Serious Wound...Witness Prevents Shooting

A. W. Rowell received a serious wound in the left forearm here last Sunday afternoon when he was attacked by Lynn Cave, whom the officer was trying to persuade to go home, according to witnesses. Mr. Rowell's coat was also slashed in a number of places.

Reports are that Mr. Rowell asked Cave to go home when the youth hit at the officer who threw up his arm where the blows fell. The officer was taken to the office of Dr. M. Phelps who cared for the hurts.

Cave was arrested a short while afterward by Charles G Mudd, night peace officer, and lodged in jail on a cutting and wounding charge. He was released on bond Wednesday at his examining trail.

Intervention by W. L. Thomas who witnessed the conflict, prevented the officer from shooting Cave who was only a few feet away at the time Rowell drew his gun. The trouble occurred at the corner of R. L. Moorman's Drug Store and was witnessed by several persons.
