1889 Of the code, J. N. Lilly, the
FIRST defendant was tried before .
jury for selling beer to minors, and
on verdict for State, was muicted
800 and costs. Hutley & Eastman,
defendants in second suit, took the
same judgment by default. In the
third case the jury decided that the
charge against Lilly, of selling beer
to an intoxicated person was not sus-
tsined.
There were several more cases
against same parties for violation Of
statute prohibition sale of alcoholic
liquor, some of which were set for
Wednesday, and others for the fol-
lowing Monday. The prosecutions
all came from Stanwood, where the
temperance people were making a
vigorous attempt to nd themselves
Of, or at leas. to mitigate by enforce
ment Of law, that which they could
but regard as great and growing
evil. Hence, after the fairly success
ful battle of Tuesday, they gathered
their forces to renew the contest on
Wednesday, and were considerably
surprised to find the enemy had left
the field with the dead unburied -
The defendants were not TO be found
in their usual haun's, neither did
they appear when the causes were
called, except by counsel, who en-
tered a plae Of guilty, judgment be-
ing rendered against them for $50
each and costs.

/ X DEvIIIsH CRIME has been
charged upon two young men, George
Hawkins and Henry Comstoc~, resi-
dents Of the vicinity OF Rochester,
who were arrested last Saturday
morning by constables Sanford and
Langham under accusation of having
committed rape upon Mrs. PHOEBE
| Edwards Of the place named. The
warrant was returnable before JUS
,ice Pritohara, who postponed ex-
animation OF the accused until the
18th inst. and committed them to Jail
in default of bail to the amount Of
50, 900 each.
We would 10. say anything to
prejudice or PREJUDICE the cause of
the prisoners, who we are told claim
to be able to prove An abb; but if
the allegations of Mrs. Edwards are
true, crime most brutal and devil
Ssh has been committed by some one.
Mrs. +. is a woman past fftyfour
years of aye, has been very long
resident of Cedar county and is quite
well known, partly at least, on ao-
count Of having long ago adopted
the shioomcr" costume. Years ago
she was separated from her husband.
then a well knovn citizen of that
vicinity, and ever since has occupied
alone a humble home in the town Of
Rochester. She ~. considered
queer hut nothing was ever known
or said in any way affecting her repu
ta,ion for integrity and respectability.
To tha lone house of this lone wo-
man then, whose grey hairs should
have more than protected her from
even an uncivil word, came at the
dead Of night, week ago last Satur-
iay. some creatures who wore the
garb Of men and who by brutal force
perpetrated upon her the most outra-
geous crime in the whole foul calen-
dar.
Fleeing, half dressed, as soon as she
could escape, to the house of DIR. At
kins, Mrs. Edwards exhibited scratch
es and bruises about the neck and
cace which indicated a severe strug-
gle. She was evidently in the great
est excitement and perturbation, and
at first refused explanations, saying
she would be killed if she told any
one. When finally prevailed upon to
speak, it Appeared that she had once
that evening driven intruders from
her house, and that later she was
aroused by hearing them at her bed
side and was at once seized and by
choking and other violence was kept
powerless while her person was
peatedly violated. What punishment
could be too great for such crime?
