TIE Ottumwa Courier Of yesterday con-
tains an account Of a fiendish outrage, perpe-
trated upon young girl from our city. May
swift winged justice overtake the damnaois
wretehes and mete out to them the worst
punishment that can possibly be conceived
He'll, with all its devils, does not certainly
contain spirits more debased and inhuman
than the guilty perpetrators of the following
deed:
HosRlBLK OuTRAGE.-A young German
girl who has been living at keokuk for some
time left there on day before yesterday to 60
to Burlington via 0ttumwa, arriving here on
the evening train night before last. When in
the depot and in the cars of the B. h NJ. X.
r., young man from Agency City and some
one else unknown, both apparently under the
influence of liquor, made her acquaintance,
and finding that she was young, unsophisti-
Gated and going to Burlington in quest Of
employment, represented to her that they
| lived in the country some distance. and that
| if she would 90 with them to their homes
| that she should have q comfortable home and
permanent employment. Under their urgent
| solicitations, she finally consented and just
before dark she started in company with these
incarnaie devils, who, after going about q
mile Gu; of town, forcibly threw her to the
ground aud then both Chem repeatedly vi.
olated her person in tdemest inhuman and
shocking manner.
She was then left to return to the depot,
whers she was found yesterday morning
nearly frozen and dead from the injuries re-
ceived at the hands of these 6ends.
| Two individuals, named Enyart and Pith-
bridger. have been arrested-the girl recog-
mixing the former as one of the airociop'
scoundrels.
