A q
Serious Charge Against Dick
Dusenberry, Whose Home is
IN Montgomery.

Dick Dusenberry, a bartender Of
Montgomery City. well known
here, is under bond at his home on
a very serious charge. His crime
was outlined in the LEDGER several
days ago, but the following state
ment, made to a reporter by Dusen-
berry's victim, gives a clearer ac-
count of it:
my name is Bette SRA and i
am rs years of age. My home is in
Tazewell county, Virginia. l was
on my way to visit relatives near
Benton City, in Audrain county,
where expected to attend school.
When | left home my father placed
me in charge of the conductor of
the train. | had no difficulty un-
til / reached Montgomery. I left
st. Louis Sunday a week ago on
the fast train, which reaches Mont
gomery at 11:20. The conductor
of the train informed me that Ben
ton was not a night station and l
would have to get off either at
Mexico or Montgomery. He also
told me that Montgomery was the
safer and better place at which to
stop, and that 1 must go directly
to a hotel and no other place.
Just after / talked with the
conductor, this man Dusenber-
ry, who was on the train, took a
seat by my side and inquired if l
was alone and where | was going.
He SAID he boarded at a hotel in
Montgomery and when he learned
| was going there, he asked if he
couldn't take me to the hotel.
When we left the train / accom-
panied him and he took me to a
saloon instead of a hotel, where he
kept me until 5 o'clock In the
morning"
She says he compelled her to
drink something with him. In the
morning he showed her to the
hotel, where she took a room.
During the morning she told the
landlady her story. The prose-
cutting attorney was notified, and
issued a warrant for Dusenberry,
who left and was arrested at Kan
sas City on Saturday, and brought
back Sunday. The girl left
for Benton City Tuesday. Dusen-
berry says he is not guilty of any
crime. The people at Montgomery
are much excited and have engaged
help for the prosecution.
The complainant is passably
good looking, rather small and has
the appearance of a country girl
entirely unsophisticated.

An East Mexico Lady Airs Her
knowledge of American
Politics.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 12.-I, to-
gether with a large number OF
other ladies, am very much vexed
over a paragraph that appeared in
Saturdays LEDGER, as follows:
"The ladies who have been so
kind as to read nothing but politics
for three months without kicking
have our sincerest thanks"
In other words, ''the ladies know
nothing of politics." Now, l do
not know a single lady of my ac-
quaintance who is not thoroughly
conversant with every form of Am
erican politics; and, indeed, some
of them know something of foreign
politics. Now, what lady does not
know that Mr.. Mills, of Michigan,
framed the interstate Commerce
bill? And what intelligent female
does not know that Mr.. Potter, of
Texas and Mr.. Barnes, Of New
York, formulated the bill declaring
that the tariff must go? And what
lady does not know that Senator
Collum was a rabid opposer of the
law that called in all railroad
passes? Who of our sex is not
conversant with Senator ingalls,
methods of abusing the Republi-
cans? Now, [ think the little par,
agraph given above was entirely
uncalled for. The ladies are per.
fectly familiar with all questions
of national importance, instances
of which I have cited, and I think
an apology is in order.
