A NoronioUs ScouNpRSL.-Ssveral ysars
ago there lived At Henderson. H., about 40
miles from this city. . graceless scamp
named Hathaway. While there, and .
married man, he attempted the destruction
Of young lady living some nve or six
miles in the country. promising marriage.
The day was set for the marriage ceremony
but the scoundrel was found out in time.
At the same place he made several attempts
to violate the persons Of young girls. and
finally became n stench in the nostrils Of
that community. and came up hero to
curse this city with his foul presence. We
could cite several cases were they not to
disgusting to be reduced to print, where
this devilish beast has ATTEMPTED to violats
the persons Of young girls in this city, and
other deeds Of bcstiality intolerablc, but
will only mention that he got into rough
hands last week. This outlaw, who has
merited the bullet many . time,
undertook one day last week to
induce little daughter Of Capt. Derno-
dy to 60 away with him, but the girl went
to her father and told him Of the attempted
outrage, when shortly after the nasty
whelp came near getting his head smashed
BY the justly indignant father. He barely
escaped with his life, and was hunted down
and brought into court. Il was . case 10
which no positive testimony could bs in.
treduccd. SO he went free; but for tho 10.
terferance Of some gentlemen, Dermody
would have shot him down like dog, q hs
deserved. But there are chances LEFT yet.
The brute will do well to leave Davenport.
In fact 1t will not be well for 20 vile pest
to stop in town, for he has no claims here
that are worth breath Of respect.
