Brutal Crime at Brainerd Minnesota.
Brainard Tibuue Sunday evening one Of
the male servants Of leading hotel WAS about
to retire to hls room, and when passing near
the parlor he heard = noise as if chairs and ia
bles we're being urset but upon entering the
room he found it dark and quiet as the silent
grave. He proceeded to light matches, and as
fast as he did 80 they were extiDguished by
some cause unknown. Finally he succeeded in
hghtlng lamp, when sight met his gaze that
almost paralyzed him. In the center of the
room on the floor lay the form of a young and
beautiful girl in semi- unconscious state, still
being under the influence of chloroforn. Her
clothing was badly disa1ranged, the poor girls
person more or less exposed, and unmistska bic
signs Of high-handed outrage existed, the
perpetrators Of which had by this time mys-
terious]y disappeared, but evidence existed that
there were two OF them, though their
identity remains q mystery. Upon bel e
aroused and asked what she was doing there,
she replied: "Never mind me, know what
am about" Upon moro fully recovering she
became frantic upon the discovery of her plight
and betrayal, and demanded in a wild, hysteric
voice to be confronted with her assallant', who
could not be found She a fine loolingy ,rng
woman of about twenty years Of age, and is de-
acribed as being very p1epossessing; The two
classed among theupper crusts OF the city.
The unfortunate victim of this disgusting and
diabolcal outrage left on the train last evening,
and as no complaint was made, the affair has
been draped in silence, but the excitement
among the occupants of the house still runs
high. ~
