Moore this morning charged with as
saulting Chas. and Lon Potter with a
deadly weapon. It was also asked that
Tom Potter be put under a warrant to
keep the peace. He was required to give
alond of $100 for his appearance at the
next term of court and was put under

.Tom Potter used a heavy stick, inflicting
