GUTHRIE. Oki., Feb 1O-(Special) "A
suit has been instituted in the district
court at Lawton by r. r. Ellsworth Ne
braska travelling salesman, who was ar
rested in Lawton last November on
charge Of robbery and confined for several
days in the comanche county jail. Now
he seeks damages In the sum Of 5000 from

IDLY took from him $40 and the next day
stripped him OF hts clothes and whipped
and beat his bare person. threatening his
life, until he was induced to write an or

while he was in the act OF putting
on his clothes they again set upon
him and beat him until he delivered to
them $40. which they discovered he had
: secreted in his clothes. then they tried
him by kangaroo court and whipped him
for not paying the fine assessed and also
for telling the sheriff OF the first whipping.
It is further alleged by Ellsworth as a
second cause Of action that on December

the same to the sheriff and demanded the
return Of the money. and that the sheriff

HILDRETH. Neb.. Feb. io.-(special)-
The citizens OF Hiidreth have been greatly
worked up over the fact that A. L. Beck.
prominent resident Of the city, upon
going to his room about 1i:9O yesterday,
found his 15-year-old daughter. Freda,
bound and gagged and In semi-conscious
condition. Upon releasing her she told a
story about as follows:
While she was arranging her fathers
room, which is in a different part OF town
from where he boards, a stranger quietly
entered the room and. with revolver in
hand, told the little girl II she made any
noise whatever he would shoot her. He
then proceeded to bind her, hand and foot,
and then ransacked the room, II appear
Ing as II he was looking for letters OF
documents OF some kind, but at this hour
nothing has been missed.
The giri had been bound and gagged
for couple of hours when discovered by
her father and was not in condition to
give a very coherent story Of what had
happened. She described the fellow as tall,
smooth shaver. but wore q pair OF colored
glasses and the lower part OF his face
was covered by a dark mask. All clews
go far have proven wrong and as It is hard
to fnd motive for anything OF the kind
the officers are at a disadvantage. That
a plot of some kind exists Il evident from
the fact that a couple OF weeks ago the
girl received an anonymous communities
ton begging her to leave town for a
couple Of weeks, as something dreadful
was liable to happen to her. The man Of
fered no violence to the little girl except a
little rough handling when he tied her and
the loss OF couple OF braids OF her hair,
which he cut on with his pocketknife, but
while he was tying her he remarked: "D-n
you, ought to kill you, but won't this
time" The citizens OF the town are pretty
well worked up over the affair and II the
guilty fellow Is apprehended 1t is likely to
go hard with him.
