Fourteen-Year-Ol Daughter - Similar
Ononses-An Outraged Public.
Special 10 ne SaAdEy Register.
PARxERssrRG, August Peter Rifle,
citizen Of Belpre township, Just across the
river from here, and who resides about
three miles west ofBelpre, is now in Mar
iettA Jail with serious charge against him.
bis daughter, 8 bright little miss Of IL
years, in company with her brother, a young
man of 20 years appeared before sjusnce
OF the peace Of Belpre township and made
affidavit that their father had, BY force, out
ragedher person. A warrant was issued
and Rifle arrested and committed to jail
without a hearing. From sl accounts,
the unnatural parent is much safer there
than be would be Ut home, as an outraged
public world in all probability take the law
in their own hands, at least that is the re-
port of the state of feeling, which EXISTS
there at present. The fact that this is not
bis first ofense OF the kind, makes public
sentiment mnch stronger than It would
otherwise be. About three years ago, Rifle
was arrested on q similar charge, preferred
by an older daughter, but for some reason
she LETT the country and did not appear
against him when the case came up for
hearing. Rifle is the father of
several children, three Of whom are
grown. His wife, who is said to be an es-
Unable woman, is nearly heart broker over
the occurrence. The accused is 8 man Of
some means, and the postmaster at War
field. q county cross roads postofhce, aud
wss for some time member of the board
Of education of Belpre township. The gen
ersl opinion in that vicinity is that the Law
will. in this case. be vindicsted, and the Sc
veress penalty for such heinous crime De
me;ed out to the wretch. Rifle is about 80
years Of sge.
