A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY-A You've GIRL
OUTRAGED AND MuRDERED.-[Special Dis
patch to the Baltimore american. ]--Hagers.
to,rn, October Our community was
shocked this evening by intelligence CT a
most Infamous crime perpetrated near Fall
ing Waters, on the Virginia side Of the Po-
tonac, about ten miles south of HagerstoWn.
The body of a young girl named Anne
Butler was found in CunninghamTs woods
with marks upon it, which indicated that she
had first been outraged and then murdered
The giri's parents, who reside in the neigh
borhood, sent her to look for the COWS on
Monday evening. While in the woods she
was oyertaken by some tiend in human shape
and made the victim of two horrible crimes.
Her parents, alarmed ut her prolonged alb
sence, began 10 search for her list night, put
her body was not found until this forenoon.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
neighborhood, and if the murderer is caught
he will certainly be hanged on the spot. A
negro was seen to enter the woods soon
after the girl started in search OF the COWS,
and he is suspected of having committed the
horrible crime. At the last adyices the
coroner was holding al inquest.
