Dastardly Outrage!
An Infamous villain At
tempts to Outrage . Lady
in open Daylight on the
Public Highway!

This forenoon, ~ Miss ALLIE WILSON,
daughter Of Allen Wilson, Was going
from town to her fathers home-about
one mile from town, on the south side Of
the river, --she was overtaken by an infa-
NOUS scoundrel, named Donald McGil-
vrey, who says he is from Buffalo. N.
w between the end OF the trestle work
on the North Mo. Railroad, and the Bridge,
near the old Jones place, where he struck
her with club and Knocked her sense
less, and then attempted to outrage her
person. Luckily, Mrs. Tim Holly saw
the attack and gave the alarm, and John
Baker and John Sutton happening to be
within hearing distance, rushed to her
assistance, whom the scoundrel attempted
to get away, but was caught BY q section
man on the N. Mo. n. r., and handed over
to Marshal Gray, and u now safely lodged
In jail, where We trust he will stay until
he gets his just deserts, which ought to be
in the penitsntiary for life.
We are not in favor Of lynch law as a
rule, but If villain such - this McGil-
vrey, should attempt such an outrage on
any one connected with us by blood or
other ties Of consequently, life insur-
ance would be verv necessary to his de-
scendants, II he expected them to reap
any benefits from his early demise.-

r., fell from his train at 4:20 this
afternoon, one and one half miles east
Of the city, and was instantly killed.
1t appears he was getting down

slipped and fell. The conductor Of
the train, Mr.. B. L. Bourveau, was
standing in the door Of the caboose
car at the time Of the accident. felt
the jar and immediately stopped the
train. Going back he found poor
Charlie . shapeless mass, having
been literally cut to pieces.
What makes this a peculiarly hard
case is, that his father, George
Plum, died with the small pox in
March, leaving q widow and a large
family of dependent children.
