Guelph lCasoda1 Mercury.
On Wednesday evening, July 25th,
Miss Carr, o niece Of Sheriff Cow, receiv-
ed letter, dated Thorold, purporting to
have been written by her father, in which
it stated that be had occasion to visit
Guelph on business for two or three days
and that he would be very much pleased
to have an interview with her at Wells
bridge. on the Edinburg road, on the
Thursday evening following. The letter

for her at the ridge, 20" and 1tfat fHRtfRssFF
father was not in it she could get in and
be driven to him. This appeared all
reasonable enough. At half-past six
O'Clock on Thursday she left Mr.. Mere
gos's store and proceeded, although not
ing there short time cab was driven
up, on which Harry Pearson, o cab driv-
er for Mr.. Jas. Ewing, and o stranger to
her, were sitting. It has since been
learned that tho stranger was one VIM.
Loves, who has been arrested as one
mixed up in the outrage. Loves at once
jumped off the cab at the bridge, and, adj
dressing Miss Carr, stated that he sup
posed she was the young lady he was
sent for, and invited her to get in the
cab. She, suspecting nothing wrong, at
once complied with the request, and was
driven around Mr.. Cows bush, across
the bridge to Cows mills, and as far as
Sallow's blacksmith shop, on the corner
of Wellington and Gordon streets, where
the horses were drawn partly up and
Pearson jumped off. Loves drove the
cab on until nearly in front of the ska
ting rink on Wellington street, where F.
Sturdy and his daughter Louise were
standing, one OH each side of the side
walk, when the horses were stopped, and
Sturdy and his daughter rushed one to
each side of the carriage and entered it.
The fact Of the parties arranging that
ono should take each side of the cab
prevented her making her escape.
As soon as they entered the cab she
screamed, and Sturdy at once rough
ly threw her back and ordered her
to be quiet. Stunned, doubtless. at the
stage affairs had taken and tho. attitude
Sturdy, her rejected lover, had assum-
ed toward her, she did not again cry out
for mement. She, however, again
screamed for help as the cab turned up
Huslxisson street, and a man named Hall !
heard her. This party followed the car
1aage up, not noticing, however, that it |
had turned up Surrey street at a dashing |
pace. She was driven along Surrey and |
Neeve streets and the York road, Sturdy |
all the time holding her back on the
scat SO that she could not give the alarm.
They were driven over the Victoria
bridge, and when in front of Mr.. F.
house she succeeded in Civ
ing a loud cry for help. She was, how
ever, Immediately gagged with a banker
chief, and when the driver saw some of
the parties coming toward the road he
urged his horses on at lively pace, thus
escaping from bens, headed Off At this
uncture Sturdy asked his daughter if
he lad her hankerchief ready. She at
,nce produced it with a bottle, and then
=
diss Cars mouth. She, terrified at be-
ng drugged, as she thought she was
bout to be, struggled violently, so much t
0, in fact, that she prevented the hand r
,erchief being placed to her nostrils. :
turdy then asked for bottle of wine, :,
7hich was produced; but Miss Carr be-
6 afraid to drink, refused The daugh- O
er attempted to forco her, when she
nocked the bottle to one side and spill y
d some of it. Sturdy then said, 'sYou =
old her, Louise, and will stop her y
,reaming." He then brutally forced L
10 bottle in her mouth, and, grasping 81
CT nose, forced her to swallow some of +,
le liquor Tho journey was continued :
war Puslinch Plains, and turning, the y
rock road was struck at Hamilton's II
orners. About a mile and a half below a.
'eir's carriage, driven by a son of G,

jagged from the cab to tho carriage, at
o same time uttering piteous cries for Al
Grey, praying to be taken back home. is
