On Monday evening of last week,
a black wretch named Dewatt at
tempted to outrage the person of a
twelve year old daughter of Mr.. Hugh
Millen, of Oliver township. The
scoundrel had laid in wait for a victim
in a small piece of woodland near the
village OF Belleview, and as the child
passed he caught her and drawing a
razor on her threatened to kill her
if she made a noise. In spite of
his threats she cried for a sistance,
and some men working in an
adjoining field came to her rescue
when the black fiend fled. A party
of citizens started after him and soon
succeeded in capturing TIE scamp,
when he was brought book to Belle
view and given hearing before
Esquire Reitz, who com nitted him to
jail in default of bail. He was brought
to Brookville and lodged in Jail to
await the May term, when he will
doubtless receive long lease at the
Western Penitentiary. Such depraved
beings should be treated to a little
iynch-law, as this is about the only
way justice can reach them. Brook.
