Snyder, formerly pastor of the Goldficld Presbyterian church, was arrested here today to protect him from further attack by Edwin Baker, a minor, who had pummeled Snyder on tho head with the butt of a revolver and was threatening to shoot him when an officer intervened The assault was provoked, It is said, by the presence of Snyder in Baker's house when tho latter returned unexpectedly unex-pectedly early today. Bakor pursued Snvder'lnto-the street, using his pistol as 'a club. Later Mrs. Bakor and her husband were arrested, but Baker, saying say-ing that ho and his wife had become reconciled, refused to prosecute Snyder, Sny-der, and all parties were released, the preacher agreeing to leave town on the first train.
