MILTON MAN BOUND OVER
ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT
ELMER HUBBARD CHARGED
WITH ATTACKING EMP1AY
Ell WITH AN AX.
Bound over under 1600 bonds to
the grand Jury for an alleged mur
derous assault with an axe upon his
employer, Elmer Hubbard, a Milton
woodcutter was brought down this
morning by Constable Dyke and
lodged In the county Jail to await fur
ther action of the law. The prelim
inary hearing was held In Milton yes
terday with Deputy District Attorney
Keator appearing for the state.
According to Mr. Keator, the com
plaining witness, August Klone, had
employed Hubbard to cut wood for
him about 11 miles from Milton. On
Tuesday Klone went out and asked
his employe to cut the wood Into
shorter lengths. This apparently ar
oused resentment In Hubbard, It Is
said, nnd he told Klone he would do
as he pleased. The latter thereupon
Informed him thnt he could "go down
the road" and received a similar re
tort. Other words followed, It Is said,
which resulted In Hubbard raising
his douhle-bladed axe and struck a
fearful blow at the other's head.
Klone dodged and the axe struck him
on the point of tho shoulder glanced
off and cut a gash in his forearm to
the bone. Klone retreated after the
blow toward his house and was pur
sued for a distance by his assailant,
lie secured his rifle and returned to
"drill Hubbard with a bullet" he said,
but later decided to leave the matt
ter with the law and contented hlm
seuf with ordering the man off the
premises.
The doctor who dressed the wound
yesterday testified that had the axe
struck Klone on the head, It would
have killed him Instantly.
