Under no circumstances is a man justified in bitinr; another, and no community shonld tolerate such bru tality. Everybody knows that these men had three trials over the owner ship of a horse', and that a jury said the horse was Herren's. That ought to have settled the matter. Hughea is one of the largest and most powerful men here, atd Herren is no match for him. Hughes was arrested and bailed, and examination has been postponed until Monday to give him time to secure an attorney. Several statements have been made as to how the affair occurred. - A thor oughly reliable man who was an eye witness and would not make a mis statement in favor, of either party, says thai Hughei was the aggressor; that Herren started out from the rear end of the saloon and that Hughes stepped in front of Iifra anif Jg't6pped him and be gan the row j tie , heard ' Herren say he did not want to fight,,, and wanted .to be let aone; t'-at both exchanged pretty bad names, and finally Hughes seized one of Herren's wrists, grabbed him around the necic, and threw him on the floor.- When Herren called out that Hughes was biting him, the by-standers pulled Hughes off of Herren; While Hughes ' was on top, Herrei blacked his eye, i Herren admits that be had his jack- knife in bis hand, expecting that if be pad to fight he could strike a harder blow with it, but says the knife was not opened. ' The law on the subject is as follows: ; "Sec. 1735. If any person shall pur posejy and maliciously,- or in the com mission or attempt to commit a felony, cut or tear out or disable, the tongue, put out or destroy the eve, cut or slit or tear off an ear, cut or slit or mutilate the nose or lip, or cut off or disable the limb or member of another, such per son, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment in the pen itentiary for not less than one year nor more than 20 years. .
