Tibbetts OF Eau Claire, who claims that
she came to the Falls to attend ball and

the evening she started for the depot
without an escort, and while passing an
alley was forcibly seized by man. who
smothered her cries and, despite her strug-
giles, dragged her into a building near by.
There she was locked in a dark room, and
repeatedly assaulted. At first she claimed
that there were ten men. and that three OF
them she could not identity. John Weiner
says that, being friend OF the assailants,
they desired him to pay Mrs. Tibbitts
$3.50 to hush the matter up, and that he
took her to the office OF County Judge
Stafford, in Chippewa Falls, where she
signed the receipt for the same. and that
afterward she demanded $1,000, which
was refused.
