Saturday last County Attorney
Cheadle made complaint in Justice
KOrell's court at Utica againts Ed
Pagel and John Bowe, charging
them with assault i'm the second de-
gree upon a herder of W. A. Waite's
named Press. 1t appears that the
herder was engaged in driving a
band OF sheep from the usual range
to a point not far distant for shear
ing and while SD engaged crossed a
certain piece of ground belonging to
Bowe, but which was not fenced.
Pagel and Bowe accosted the herder
and the latter, upon the advice of
Pagel, placed a cartridge i'm a rifle
and ordered the herder to hold up
his hands, which Press promptly
did, not wishing to take any chances.
and Bowe then drove the
sheep tn II corral and held them for
two or three days, evidently expect
Ing the payment of damages, but
released them. The case will
be set for trial as soon as the defend
ants plead.
