A few nights ago little girl and her
young brother came to the post-office
for the family's mail. On the way home
the girl says she was assaulted by a
soldier, who followed her from the post
Office. When in lonely spot he seized
the girl, took a lantern which she was
carrying, and struck her brother over
the head with it. When this happened
her screams frightened the brute, and
he made hasty retreat. The children
could give no accurate description of
the man, and say his face was covered
with a handkerchief. If his identity
could be discovered the most severe
punishment the law could inflict would

little girl is withheld on account of the
family.
