Inspired by Whisky, Father Makes
Assault on Daughter.
Beaudette, Mimi, Aug. IL. The
most revolving and unnatural crime in
the history Of this county was COM
mitted at Spooner yesterday. ]. B.
Montague twice assaulted his seven
~teen-year-old daughter Mabel, and at.
ter the assaults struck and otherwise
abused her. Montague bears a bad
reputation, and is reported to have
neglected and abused his family. He
was drunk at the time of the crime. A
warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The crime was committed while Mrs.
Montague and daughter Mabel were
picking berries. Montague, who was
intoxicated, waited until they were
separated and assaulted his daughter.
The people here and at Spooner were
greatly aroused and a lynching would
certainly have occurred had not the
advice of the cooler heads prevailed.
There is much excited talk and Mon
tague's life is none too safe now.
