A Terrible Crime.

An outrageous assault was perpe-
trated upon the person of the fifteen year
old daughter of farmer named Hen
nenkamp, about mile and half north
of Melrose on Sunday afternoon last by
tramp. The victim was going home
from church in company with younger
sister when she was accosted by man
who asked her where she was going.
She told HIM where she lived, and a mo-
ment later he disappeared in the woods.
A little further up the road he jumped
out of the brush by the roadside and
Selling the girl dragged her into the
brush where he accomplished his vile
purpose. The little sister ran home and
gave the alarm and the father and two
or three of his neighbors hurried to the
scene, and found the girl wandering
about in a dazed condition, suffering
terribly. A search was made but no
traces of the villain could be found
Nothing was known of it in Melrose
until several hours later. Had an imme-
date alarm been given the woods would
have been filled with citizens and the
chances are he would have been cap
tured. A description of him as given by
the girl was telegraphed to this city, and
a man answering to the description was
arrested and lodged in the lookup. On
Monday the girl came up to identify the
prisoner, but she was satisfied that he
was not her assallant, and he was dis
charged. Officer Krick OF Melrose also
came up for the purpose of taking charge
of the man if he were the one wanted.
An arrest has since been made in Mel.
