ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED RAPE
A Ninth ward Shoemaker Held 10
Answer for n Wicked Piece of
work.

The officers were successful in arrest
! ing T. w. Anderson, the Nineth Ward
shoemaker, who attempted to rape ten
year old daughter OF Mr. j. g. Williams,
on Tuesday evening last. The inhuman
wretch has instincts lower than brute,
and has frequently attempted to carry
them out The little girl broke away
from the power of Anderson and ran home.
Mr.. Williams sood learned the par
ticulars of the assault upon his help
less child, and with all the frenzy of
an enraged parent he repaired to Ander-
sons shop and succeeded in catching him
in the act Of entering his domicile. Will
lians gave him q most deserved thrash
ing, and left the low-minded wretch on
the ground. The officers were notified,
but could not find him until evening,
when he was arrested and now fingers in
a cold, damp cell, where his sore head
and guilty conscience will have time to
slowly recover.
Judge Speirs desiring to take q look at
the man who would consciously outrage
a l0-year-old girl, had Andersen brought
into court this morning and gave him a
chance to air himself. He presented a
striking picture on first appearance, as
one of his optics is most skillfully decor
ated in deep mourning, while his face and
body indicate that Mr.. Williams is
thorough artist in touching up an old
subject. The complaint was read to him,
while he listened attentively as to
death warrant, but explained in
Danish that he did not grasp the idea
of the affidavit. An interpreter was
called on who explained to the would-be-
innocent that he was charged with at
tempted rape. The sheepish man made
no plea, but said he wanted his landlady
as witness in his behalf, as |
she was present at the time Of the alleged |
assault. The trial was set for Monday at |
2 p. M, and bonds fixed in the sum of |
81 900 for his release. but not having the |
required amount he was returned to the |
bastile. Such men should have melted |
cut to them upon conviction the full ex-
tent of punishment for such high crimes,
as the lives of women and children seem
no longer protected in the community
from such crimes.

Tie New Idaho districts

A very favorable strike is reported to
nave been made in the Whale, day be-
fore yesterday, adjoining the Horn Silver.
Frank Martin and wife have gone to
Salt Lake City to sign deeds for the sale
OF the famous Horn Silver mine. The
mine went for $685. 600, 5000 of which
have been paid Mr.. Martin.
Riser, Of the firm of Riser, Schwamb
d Levitt, will arrive to-day with lot of
ore from the New York Boy. Hugh Nc
Graw Is the discoverer OF this claim. and
1t IS his opinion that this lot will sample
$500 per ton.
The Mormon Boys" Bill Seamonds.
Cronin and McGee, are shipping ore from
the Henrietta mine to Superintendent
Senter, of the Cliff Smelter. The ore is
OF too low grade to ship to our Wood
River smelters.
Hon. Nose Biddy and his partner,
MARSH, have Just made a shipment of
eight tons OF ore to the Cliff smelter.
Mulhall IS now supposed to be in Chi
cage, but in a few days he will return to
superintend development work Oh the
McGee-Seamonds-Cronin claims, which
are so placed now that in a few months
their worth will be known as ore produc-
ers.
q. A. French and Joe Morrill, are inter
ested, we are told, in a couple of claims
the Florida and Havanah-in Antelope
district, which look fir5t-rate.

to be the Empire. 1t adjoins the Horn

SOME MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.
SsPoinrers,, That the Police May
Pick Cp-Abate the FltPper
Nuisance.

A great many complaints are made by
persons of the different wards concerning
the criminal manner in which unknown
characters deface shade trees, gates and
fences, by wantonly cutting them with
knives, and maliciously knocking off the
pickets and bending down the small
shade trees. Two young men went lazily
down First East street the other day, one
OF them carrying base ball bat, with
which he broke off half dozen painted
pickets from a yard fence. The other
used his boot in kicking gates and almost
anything within hall block OF him The
two destructive elements of ill-breeding
laughed alternately at each others con-
duct as though something courageous
was being done, while the owner of the
property and his shotgun were away.
As an example of this sort of destruc-
ton just observe the doors and windows
OF many public buildings and places for
meeting, with the lights shattered and
the woodwork marred by boys of all ages

flppers," Or throwing large rocks simply

Last Tuesday evening an unknown and
unprincipled character stood up in front
OF the gas post at the northeast corner Of
Main and Fifth South and enjoyed him
self by firing rocks at the gas light until
he smashed all the glass OF the lamp
and called forth several irate citizens,
which caused the scamp to beat hasty
retreat. Instances of such mean con

A PHILANTHROPIsT IN DISTRESS.

All ewes were turned on John Elkin in
the police dock this morning. He pre-
scented singular appearance to that OF
! the others in search OF mercy, while his
countenance and wearing apparel betok-
ened better days.
The three-ply charge OF drunkenness,
profanity and disturbing the peace was
read to him, to which he answered in the
select language and manner OF q scholar,
that he had no recollection OF committing
any offense, and the whole matter was to
him blank. He said he had entered
some place and been drugged, and the
officers stated that they found him stupid
at O'Clock this morning, when he
was taken to the City Hall
and locked up. While under ex-
animation Elkin was an interesting
subject of study, and his eccentric prop
ositions at q compromise with Judge

A Christmas Gift That Came in Handy,

Some time since Abraham Ford, of
Portland, Oregon, says the Ne,cs, in fit
OF generosity, made out deed of ali his
belongings and hung it on Christmas
tree for his beloved wife, Mary A. Ford
This chivalric deed rivalled all the deeds
OF the ages OF chivalry into nothingness.
In doing this act Mr. Ford was doubtless
more or less influenced by the tender
sentiments which cluster like pearls
around the Christmas holiday, and bv his
unbounded confidence in his wife. But
at a subsequent period the romance of
the holiday time withered and turned to
ashes and bitterness, and the once loving
couple quarrelled, and finally suit and
counter suit was commenced by each in
turn. Mr.. Ford's attorney contended
that deed hung on Christmas tree was
not valid, but Judge Stearns said it was
first-class although it had hung among
dolls, candy bags and flashing tinsei,
pendant from an evergreen tree amid the
galrlsh lights of the best parlor. Judge
Stearns granted a divorce and all the
property to Mrs. Ford.
