The recent case OF outrage at Spring field,
W., was an atrocious affair. A French
woman, Mrs. Dupre, was induced to take
walk with an Irishnan about 20 years old.
While passing through a secluded street.
four other young men, two of them Irish.
stopped them and made propositions to her
which she rejected. Thereupon the i've
men fOrcibly carried out their wishes. tax
ing her to o neighboring barn, and closing
her mouth with their hands to prevent her
crying out. They finally led her almost
home and left her, threatening her life if
she ever disclosed their crime. As she is OF
rather a weak mind. their threats sealed
her mouth till few days after, when she
disclosed the matter to the woman with
whom she lived. The authorities
were notified. and one Of the
of the others had left town and
search was begun for them which still
continues with the probability of success.
The fifth man is not known. Mrs Dupre is
a small woman and has been very i'll since
the outrage, but will probably live. Her
husband left her about a year ago, being
too lazy to support anyone but himself.
Since then her two children have been
cared for by Others and she has earned a
scanty living for herself. Her reputation
has always been good. The guilty parties
were all about the age Of the one mentioned,
except one, who was probably several years
older, and all were more or less Intoxicated.
FOcr of them are well-known at SDring-
field. which is the home Of three )f them,
and while two OF them were known to be
bad characters, the other two were not
looked upon as any worse than average
