Terrible Adventure of Young
Girl in North MINNEAPOLIS,

A daring and almost successful at

in the extreme northern part of

Twelfth street, while young girl was
walking along the road toward home, a
man with a handkerchief over his

her down and attempted to assault
her. The girl screamed and freed her
self from his clutch, when she was
knocked down again. Nearly craZed
with terror, she made second escape
and ran to her fathers house, which
was not far distant. A band of
residents to the number of thirty
was formed within a few minutes, and
a search began. The tramp, for such

the place and telephoned for police
aid, but when the officers
arrived from the North Side station no
trace could be found of the man. This
was at about II o'clock. He had prob

made thorough search, but with

name was reported to be McAlester

was it. She is girl of about fifteen or
sixteen years and appears to have made
spirited resistance as her worst in

THOSE MISSING BONDS.
A Case of Unauthorized Removal
of IncOmplete ROnds.


Special to the Globe.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April 90
The sensational and garbled article,
relative to the disappearance of county
bonds, sent out Saturday, has created
considerable Indignation here. The
article not only reflects on the charac-
ter of the chairman of the county board,
but also connects the county clerk with
the alleged steal. The real facts rela-
tive to the disappearance of the bonds
bonds are: By act of the legislature
the county was empowered to issue
bonds to pay its Indebtedness. The
bonds were stored in the county clerks
Office in an incomplete form as regards
their value with the exception of the
signature of the county clerk. 1t re-
quireS the signature of the county
and also the seal of the county clerk be-
fore they can be negotiable. Eighty
five thousand dollars worth of these
bonds were purchased by Splitter & Co.,
of Toledo, o., at premium OF S1.53.
but the amount purchased
WOULD NOT BE OF VALUE
until June, 1889. The county was in
debt to the town of Wheaton about
$4,000, and it was decided to turn over
to John Kane, who is chairman of this
town, as we'll as chairman of the county
board, sufficient amount of the bonds
to cover this indebtedness. The county
board. while in session here last week,
in looking up the matter concerning
these bonds, discovered that the 81, 1000
worth of bonds were missing, and con-
nected the disappearance with Mr..
Kane. This gentleman, when the mat
ter was brought before him, confessed
that he had the missing bonds in his
possession, but that they were entirely
valueless, as they were not filled out in
legal form. Mr.. Kane, as chairman of
the board, has authority to remove
bonds from one Office to another, but
EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY
when he removed them from the build
ing. The county clerk and county
treasurer were ignorant of their diSap-
pearance, and no blame can in any way
be attached to them i'm the matter. Mr..
Kane, it is alleged, took the bonds for
electioneering purposes last spring.
This is, perhaps, correct view of it.
The committee appointed by the board
to investigate the matter has brough in
report exoneratiDg the county clerk
and treasurer, and that the bonds will
be returned by Mr.. Kane as soon as he
RECEIVERS from his present illness. Mr..
Kane has been chairman of the board
for the past four years and has always
made diligent officer. No one queS-
tions his integrity.
