Press Harvey was the brother of Rube Harvey, both killed on the same day in an ambush, as "deserters" from WWI; however, one of the boys was deaf, and he was severely mistreated in boot camp, so the other brought him home. The sheriff arranged to meet with them, to take them into custody and work out the problem, but the boys were ambushed on the way to the meeting. Written by: K Thomas
