Appeals for Protection.
Rudolph Noetzleman of Garden county
has appealed to state officials for protec-
ton from the cattlemen of that section Of
the state, alleging that when seeking the
arrest of two of them who had assaulted
him the county attorney asked him for
such a high bond that 1t was impossible
for him to push the matter himself
Noetzelman says he is an American clti-
gen and that he was on public highway,
q road that has been used twenty years,
whom he was assaulted. He charges that
=. the assault was made by Arthur Marshall
and William Dodds and their hired men
and that their wives took an initial part
in the fray Mr.. NOetzelman says nc was
driving some cattle along the road on May
10 and when he passed the homes OF Mar
shall and Dodds dogs were set on the
animals and two or three hours delay was
caused in gathering the animals together
The cattle were taken TO Lewellen to be
dipped on the return trip the next day
Noetzelman says, he was pulled from his
horse by Dodds and Marshall and their
hired men and was beaten with clubs and
that he was cared for by another settler
AID that he remained in bed until May p,
when he went to Oshkosh, the county seat,
10 swear out a warrant for the arrest OF
Dodds and Marshall. He writes that County
Attorney Williams was willing to push the
\ case. but that County Judge Gumaer de-
clined to issue warrants unless bond for
costs was furnished. Mr.. Noetzelman has
a family OF six children TO for and he
says he Is a poor man and being unable To
furnish bond for costs the county Judge
refused TO issue warrants. He now asks
protection from the state.
