James Treet, 52, is in the Hardy Sanitarium in a dangerous condition, suffering from a fractured skull and a broken arm as the climax to a fight with Homer Satterfield, 26, who is in jail facing charges. Treet and Satterfield quarreled over a pecan orchard and Satterfield is alleged to have beaten the elderly man over the head with a .22 caliber rifle. The rifle was broken into pieces. Both men are the residents of the Newport community.
