WEDOING?LOCAL NEWS. 1 t Scranton, July 6:?Policeman G F Kamarow, while at- ^ tempting to arrest S 0 Byrd here Saturday night, was ser iously cut in several places , about his head and throat. 1 Byrd came very near cuttingKamarow's throat, and it it hadn't been for Messrs J M Myers and J E Turner, who parted them, we believe that j the trouble would have been a fatal one?while it may prove fatal yet. Both parties are { very prominent men and have 1 j many friends here. Byrd was * not hurt and was placed in the c lock up, but he managed to break out Sunday morning and ^ went to Lake City, where he < was arrested by constable Belk, but was released on a $500.00 ( bond. A hearing was given fc Monday and on account of Mr ] Kamarow being unable to at- I tend, Mr Byrd was committes to jail until Dr Lynch, the attending physician, pronounced Mr Kamarow out of danger, when there will be a prelimin- i ary hearing.
