The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday March 18, 1898 The Marshal Shoots. Harper had another shooting scrape Saturday night. From published and private accounts it seems to have been a case of resisting an officer, the resistance being prompted by too much booze. Marshal NEUMEYER had arrested one Jerey PAYNE for drunkenness, and when "Peaky" HURST and others interfered and tried to take his prisoner away from him, he took a shot at "Peaky" the ball glancing off of his cheek and only inflicting a slight wound. Anybody else would have probably been killed, but a 38 calibre bullet is no match for Hurst's cheek.
