An Atroeious Crime Attempted.
The particulars of An attempt at most
atrocious crime have just reached your
correspondents ears. On Sunday after
noon last Annie, the fourteen year old
daughter of Cornelius Tyson, residing in
East Hempfeld township, left her fathers
house to visit her married sister who re-
sides across the country probably two miles
away. On her way she was compelled, by
keeping to the public road, to pass through
q cut leading across tho Hanover junction
& Susquehanna railroad, at point where
the railroad passes at right angles with
the public road through cut of about the
same depth. Here OH an unfrequented
road, removed by considerable distance
from the nearest house, and where,
on account of the day being Sunday,
it was not likely that anyone would
NJ 80,
she was assaulted by tramp, who jumped
from the railroad cut just as she reached
tho crossing. The tramp. who was prob
from the public road into the railroad cut,
the girl who, while battling in her own
defense with desperation born Of dan
ger, set up cry after cry for assistance.
The girl, enervated as she certainly vas
by her noble resistance, fought her assail-
ant to some effect for several minutes, but
just as complete exhaustation was about
overtaking her, and when, after resistance
had ceased, the scoundrel would have
gained his foul ends, assistance came in
the person Of young man named
Kehl, son of Ludwig Kehl, a res
ident of the locality, who had heard the
cries while opportunely driving with his
sister on the public road. On Kehls
approach the tramp escaped and has not
been seen since. Miss Tyson was found in
a terribly Frustrated condition, with her
clothes almost torn from her body. She
was placed in Kehls carriage and driven
to her fathers home. The community
roundabout, naturally under the circum.
stances, was terribly excited and it would
not have gone we'll with the tramp
had any of the raw-boned farmers in the
locality been able to clutch his throat.
The willingness was all there.
