Hearing of an assult and battery charge against Goebel Dawson, 32, farmer, of Pleasant Ridge rd. Claryville, who is alleged to have attacked Jacob Racke deputy sheriff, during an auction sale Thursday, was continued Friday by Judge Conrad G Matz. According to Racke, who is stationed at the Alexandria sheriff's office, he was among those present at the auction sale at the O A Primm farm at Claryville.
A number of small boys were creating a noise during the sale and Racke cautioned them. When they failed to heed his warning, Racke ordered them away from the sale. As he was chasing the youths one seized him from the rear and Dawson struck him. Racke suffered a discolored eye. Oscar Wells, deputy and William Straus and Harry Stuart, county patrolmen, hurried to the scene when they learned of the disturbance and they arrested Dawson at his home.
