ARRESTED FOR SEDUCTION.
Lyman Bersh Seriously Accused by a
Wayland Young Woman.

Mt. Pleasant, Feb. 6-Sheriff Putnam
went to Muscatine early last Saturday
morning with a warrant for the arrest
of Lyman Bergh, formerly of Wayland,
who was wanted on the charge Of Sc
duction at Wayland, the prosecuting
witness being a Miss Naomi Miller,
and the warrant being sworn out be-
fore Justice Burton, in this city by
her father, L. J. Miller. Bergh was
brought back Saturday afternoon by
the sheriff and placed in Jail till Sun
day evening, when he was released on
a bond of $500, with his father, c. L.
Bergh, and his brother, Samuel Bergh,
as the sureties. Owing to the i'll
health of the prosecuting witness, the
preliminary hearing was set for a late
date in March, both parties agreeing
to the postponement. 1t is quite likely
that the case will never come to trial,
as marriage license was issued to the
parties last evening and they were
married at o'clock last night in Way.
