A HARDENED VILLAIN,
A Most Persistent Attempt Mt Outrage on
Capitol IIIII.

One OF the most revolving and disgusting cases
of depravty that has every figured in police an.
nails occurred Wednesday night, in this city,
which shows to what an extent humanity can
become debased. Mary offenstein, white
woman, 80 years old, huckster in the market,
lives at Eleventh and ID streets northeast A man
named Butterhof, who Is about the same age as
Mrs. Ofenstein, has been owing her some money
for quite little time, and went up to her house
paying his debt. Instead of doing 1t, however, he
MADE AN IMPROPER PROPOSAL
TO Mrs. 0fensein and told her If she submitted he
would discharge his obligation. Greatly alarmed
at the attempt upon her Virtue, she went to her
next. t.door neighbor q Mrs. Hall, aud asked her TO
spend the night in her company. During Mrs.
Ofenseins absence this brute seized her thiTteeu-
year-od daughter, Mary and attempted TO ac-
cOmplish his fendish purpose on her. The re-
appearance of Mrs. Ofenstein, accompanied by
on the sidewalk and commenced to talk to the
women, but Mrs. Often stein was SO alarmed that
she rushed into her ho use and locked the door.
Mrs. Hall returned to h or own home, and was fol-
lowed by Butterhoifer, who
MADE THE SAME PROPOSITION TO HER
that he had previously made to Mrs. Ofenstein.
Mrs. Hall turned round sharply and asked him
suggestion. Mrs. Hall is muscular woman, and
she Immediately, without any parley made But.
terhof measure his length on the ground and
Then the beast laid round for some time quiet,
but between IL and half-past he knocked at Mrs.
odenstein's door. When she looked out to see
who 1t was he forced his way into the house and
attempted again to satisfy his lust. He would
probably have accomplished his hellsh purpose
had not Mrs. Hall heard the tumult and
DROVE THE WOULD BE RAvIsHER
out of the house. The matter has been brought to
the attention Of the police, but they have deemed
1t necessary, to enshroud themselves in an air Of
gloom simply to ascertain what offeuse the man
can be punished for. Meanwhile he is at lar se

Look Out for This Woman.

A woman, representing herself to be from Hi.
nois. has been doing a thriving business during
the past week in victimizing "suckers" residing
here. Her method of operation is as follows. She
took the names of the Illinois political commit
tee which was published in The REPUBLICAN last
week, and calling upon one member would state
that the chairman had recommended her to call !;
known dry goods store (Which she named) but
she was very poor, and unable TO procure the lad
equivalent. She repeated the game on the chair
man, referring 10 the prominent member, and
again made the rifle. Inquiry of tho dry goods

compare notes. She Is not at all particular, IL is
most likely, and may yet take up the other State
