OUTRAGEOUS
A COlOred Boy Arrested for
Mfstreating a Five
Year-Old Girl.

About 10 o'clock Tuesday Tom
Lindsay, a colored boy aged 16
years, was arrested bynight police
man Kemp for mistreating a pretty
little girl less than s years old, and
a daughter of one of Mexico's most
prominent business men. The
darkey treated the little girl in a
most scandalous manner, although
he did not outrage her. The father
of the girl would not let her ap-
pear in court on account of the
notoriety and the offender was dis.
charged. What the negro needs,
to say the least, is to be thrashed
within an inch of his life, and if
the girls father ever gets hold of
him we would not like to insure
him even the inch to spare. No
punishment is too severe for such
outrageous and brutal conduct.
The boy will likely leave the
country.

BEAVER DAM ITEMS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
BEAVER DAM, Aug. Lizzie
Harrison is very ill with fever.
Some scallawag thief on Wednes-
day night went into S. L. McCord's
potato patch and dug about six
bushels and got away with them
Misses Bertha and Nora McCord
are visiting their grandpa, Winsor,
in Southern Illinois, and will be
absent one month.
Louis Cline has sold his farm to
Royal Bradley for s27 IL per acre.
C. H. and Frank Crockett lost a
very fine colt a few days ago,
caused by being snagged in the
flank.
We notice Beaver Dam school
house has a neat new yard fence
around it, and I. M. Ford has
| given the house two new coats of
paint, which makes it have a neat
appearance.
The frame work of Robert Potts
new stock barn is a good heighth
and when completed will sure
enough loom up. Charles Wright
is the builder.
On last Saturday night the sing
ing at the residence of D. M. Rob-
erts was well attended. We were
surprised on entering the yard to
find his house and lawn filled with
such a large number of young
friends. Good music, vocal and
instrumental, was rendered and a
fine time enjoyed by all.
j. w. Harrison will move to
| Mexico the middle of next month.
We regret to lose ). w. and family
from our midst.
Beaver Dam always WINS. A
few evenings ago James Crockett
was heard to sing, $50 let the wide
world wag as it will, Ill be gay
and happy STILL" On inquiry we
found he was on his return from
R. T. Freeman's colt show, where
Aquarius for best horse colt took
the premium; second best award
to Charley Thorn, owned by S. L.
McCord. For best mare colt
premium awarded to Daisy Dean,
owned by MI. billiard; second
best award to Durock Maid, owned
by Leslie Ford. So allow US once
more to give three cheers for
Beaver Dam. PUELLA.

a whipping for the outrageous way
he treated a little 5-year-old white
girl the day before but the darkey
was gone. Tom is a 16-year-old
colored boy who viii come 70 no
good end but If he keeps up his
present style he will come to an
early end. Tom is gone and if he
knows what is good for him he
will never return.
