PEORIA, Ills, May % Miss Anna Ger
Der is young woman who teaches school
across the river, and in going to and re-
turning home from this school she has to
pass through heavy growth of timber.
George Ditch is a worthless loafer who
lives in Peoria. Last evening, after dis
missing her school, Miss Gerber had
started home when she was met by Ditch,
who made an indecent proposal to her.
She met the proposal with the indigna-
ton which it merted and the scoundrel
allowed her to proceed, but he had not
abandoned his intention. He ran ahead
to a gloomy part of the forest, where the
underbrush was thick and the branches
of the trees weighted down with rain
nearly touched the ground, and there
concealed himself.
Desperate Struggle for Honor.
When Miss Gerber reached the place
he sprang from his concealment, knocked
her down and dragged her into the
brush. The poor girl began screaming, and
Ditch choked her until the blood spurted
from her nose aud mouth. As soon as
she could get breath she began pleading
with the wretch, and offered him her
watch and all the money she had if he
would release her He agreed to do this
but had no sooner come into possession
| of the articles than he again leaped on
her, bore her to the ground, and began
tearing her clothes from her body. She
again began screaming, but was at al
most her last gasp when she fortunately
startled a COW, which ran crashing
| through the bush, making Ditch believe
that her screams were bringing aid, when
the villain fed
On the Trail of the bastard.
The poor girl made her way with all the
| haste she could to a farm house, nearly a
| half-mile distant. The farmer, after hear
ing her story, jumped on a horse went TO
| Hilton, told the story, and soon a large
| force of men were on Ditch's trail. The
news spread to this city, and about 100
| men went across the river on the same
errand. The towns and villages near by
| were telegraphed TO, and if he attempts TO
| pass through any of them he Will be ar
| rested. The men in pursuit, however,
| have strong hopes that they will be able
! to catch him shortly IN the heavy timber
/ across the river. Any one OF the trees
| there will answer their purpose.
