ALittle Girl from this City Becomes
the Victim Of a FieDdish
Crime.

A little girl from this city was made
the victim Of fisndish crime at Daven-
port yesterday. The Gazette of this morn-
ing says:
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. SengeI, of
Rock Island. swore out warrant for the
arrest of Robert Evans, Of this city,
charging him with the crime of rape upon
Mary Senger, his daughter.
1t appears that on Tuesday Mr.. Sem
ger had scolded his daughter. who is
weak minded. about something, and she
packed her satchel and secretly left the
house in the evening, coming to Daven-
port. She met Robert Evans on her way
over and asked him If he coald direct her
| to boarding house. He told her that he
was running "a boarding house on Third
street between Iowa and LeClaire, and if
she would come with him he would show
her where to GO Evans is married
man and lives at the above named place
with his wife. After getting Miss Senger
to his house Evans showed her to room
and she went to bed, Evans wife sleeping
with her. In an hour or so Evans came
into the room and got into the bed and
| accomplished his devilish purpose,
although Miss Senger struggled with
all her might to prevent it, Mrs.
Evans watching the entire proceedings
without offering to interfere in any way.
Yesterday morning Miss Senger escaped
from the house and returned to her faith
er's in Rock Island and told him what had
happened, and he Immediately came to
Davenport and swore out the warrant a;
stated above. Up TO late hour last might
Evans had not been captured, having go'
wind Of the warrant being out. II i;
supposed he has left the city, but the en-
tire police force of Davenport and RocE
Island are on the lookout for him. 1t il
crime that cannot be punished tor
severely, and when Evans is captured hi
should suffer the full penalty of the law
especially as the girl is weak minded and
not able to take care of herself.

as though the perpetrator Of some psrtic
uarly outrageous deed ought not to b,

allowing the Chicago, Burlington &

AT about 7:30 last night. three young

so much so in fact, that they did not
know Of the peril into which they were
going, until as the wing dam at Moline
was approached. the swift current caught
the boat. and the young men being una

hurled against the rocky projection
and capsized, throwing the occu.
pants into the river. the current

their lives. West and Rathburn managed
to reach the dam after desperate strug-
gle and climbing up over it. escaped, but
Shaffer was unable to battle with the
whirlpool and was drowned. The cries
of the two who narrowly escaped attract
ed some boatmen and they were taken to
Moline. They were sadly intoxicated
and from their remarks it is altogethe
| probable that Shaffer was in the same
condition.
1t was distressing end to life, which
