A - warrant,; r charging assault hangs over one or all of three young men who arrived Saturday with a band of cattle for the X. Bt Geer iarm, or.W. H, Odell farm, as the case is, a mile west of Cor vallis. ' One of the, lads is a son of L, B. Geer, ex-state land agent. The warrant was issued by ' a Buena Vista justice, and is in the hands of a Buena Vista constable for service. It was sworn out by the father of a Buena Vista girl and the charge is assault. The trial - is to occur at Independence., at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It is said that much indignation is mani fest at Buena Vista toward the de fendants. , r - But few of the details of the af fair are obtainable. The defendents were enroute from Marion county with a band of cattle, which they were bringing to the Benton County farm. They camped over night at Buena Vista. During the evening two girls passed the camp and the boys engaged them in conversation. Something happened, nobody seems to know what, that had for a sequel the next morning, a visit to the boys camp of an irate father who spoke angry words. The boys left the same morning with their cattle j hurriedly perhaps, and ahead of them cime the news that a warrant, as aforesaid, had been sworn out No arrests have been made, but the boys have volunteered to go back to Independence to face the charge. Though he admitted that there was considerable feeling in Buena Vista over the affair, W. E. Yates lawyer for the boys, says there is nothing in the charge.
