Arthur caddock Charged With
Making Criminal Assault on
Mabel Timme Sunday
CAPTURED BY Her FATHER
Caddock, Arraigned in Court, Valves
Examination, and is Held to the
Criminal Court in Bonds OF
$4,000 Tuesday Morning

One of the most dastardly crimes IN
the criminal annals of Kenosha was
reported on Sunday afternoon, when
it is alleged that Arthur Caddock,
shipping clerk % years of age, at
tempted to make criminal assault
on Mabel Timme, the little year old
daughter of former Sheriff and Mrs.
Henry H. Timme. The assault on the
child was committed at the Caddock
home which adioins the Timme home
on Chicago street. 1t is not thought
that the little girl was seriously in
iured, but she is still suffering from
the effects of rough handling by Cad
dock. The accused man was brought
before Justice McCarron Tuesday
morning, and waving preliminary
examination he was held to the Cir
cult Court on a charge of attempted
criminal assault and his bail fixed
at So, 600. He returned to jail.
On Sunday evening after Caddock
had been arrested some of the friends
of the Timme family gathered about
the Jail to show their indignation at
the crime of Caddock, but no effort
was made to take the accused man
from the Jail. The sheriff had spec
ia1 watch during the night and when
Caddock was taken to court Tuesday
morning he was heavily guarded, but
there was no demonstration against
him.
Just after he had been arrested the
man stated: ''My head got away with
mel" but since he made this statement
he has absolutely refused to discuss
the case and he refused to make any
statement when arraigned ia court
Tuesday morning.
The story of the attempted assault
was of most sensational nature.
Just after two O'Clock Sunday after
noon the little Timme girl asked her
mother if she might go tothe home of
some children in the neighborhood to
spend the afternoon. AS she left the
house Caddock was sitting on the.
veranda of the house adjoining and
as the little girl came out he called to
her and asked her if She wanted an
orange and Caddock followed her into
the room. Once in the house he,
grabbed the child and placing his
hand over her mouth to silence her he
threw her on a lounge and attempted
to assault her. AS soon as the child
was released she ran screaming to
her mother and other neighbors were
called in. The child was black and
blue from the rough handling she had
received and DR.. f. E. Andre was hur-
riedly called TO the house. He found
that the injuries to the child we're
not of serious nature.
AS soon as possible the father of the
child was found and he started out to.
find Caddock. Just as Timme left
the police Office with Officer cutting,
Caddock came down Main street and
the father of the little child he had
wronged jumped on him. Euting at
once jumped in between the men aud
hustled Caddock over to Jail. Cad
dock had not attempted to make any
fight against Timme and he went
with Euting without attempting :.
fight. He seemed to be glad when he
was safely behind the bars at the
county jail.
Under the charge made against
Caddock he may be sent TO the peni-
tertiary for a term Of ten years.
