rumored attempt at rape across the lake
Yesterday, with the appearance of the re-
ported culprit on our streets, caused an cleo
trio wave of excitement to flash throughout
our city. Our police officials interviewed the
man and gave him couple of hours to leave
the city and town under penalty of being ar
rested as a vagrant. The man, apparently
alarmed at such a cool reception, soon left
for the Wisconsin side, where he was gobbled
up by constable. 1t appears that the man,
who was canvassing for an illustrated maya
zine, called at the residence of Olif Jewell,
of st. Joe, and while there borrowed nee
die and thread of Mrs. Jewell to fix pair of
overalls he wore over pair of pants, and
went into another room. While there it is
claimed that he exposed his person. The
mans name is Henry Seaman, and he hailed
from Marquette, Mich.
