RIOT IN MICHIGAN CiTY.-On Saturday
evening last. building in Michigan City
KEEP, as saloon and hotel. by w. L.
Chlds, under the name of the RAILROAD
Eating house" was sacked by a mob COM
posed, according TO a statement in the
Chicago Press, Of respectable citizens. =
Tae attack was occasioned by an outrage
perpetrated on the premises on the Thurs
day night privious. The circumstances Of
which were as follows: On that night. a
girl OF good reputation arrived at Mich.
gan City by railroad. and inquired for an
engineer on the New Albany and Salem
road, to whom, il was afterwards sscer-
tanned. she is engaged to be married. =
The runners OF Child's house came across
her, and told her that the man she asked
for was out on the road, but would be in
that night; that he boarded at Child
house, mat she would meet him if she
went there. The story was utterly false,
as the man had never boarded there, but
the unsuspecting girl went with the
scoundrels. After eating supper. the
girl drank glass OF wine offered her by
Mrs. Child's. which it appears, was drug
ged, and which threw her into sound
sleep in few minutes. When she
awoke she found herself in barn upon
some hay, her perseh violated. her purse
and rings gone. and her earrings actually
torn out of her ears. As soon as she WINS
able to walk. she CROPPED her way out of
the barn. and went to a house in the
neighborhood, where she told her sad sto-
ry. and was properly cared for. War.
rants were Immediately issued for Childs
and two other men who were in the house
at the time of the outrage. but it was as
cerlained that only Childs was in the
place. the others having gone off in some
oil the night trains. Close watch was
kept upon the house in hopes the two
might return. and nlso to prevent the es-
cape OF Childs. As they had not returned
