ATTEMPTED RAPE ON LITTLE
GIRL.
Robert Sutton Charged With
Heinous Crime.
Saturday Daily.

From Saturday DAILY.
Feeling against Robert Sutton,
n painter in the employ of Bob
Drake, was reused to the high
est pitch last evening, when it
was noised around that lie had
attempted to commit a rape up
Gu the person of the little 9-year-
old daughter Of Les Leeds. Ac-
| cording to the account Of the
affair given the Tribune reporter,
ii occurred as follows:
Sutton was employed as a
painter on the Leeds house, and
yesterday afternoon, when the
little girl returned home from
school, he took her to the barn,
and committed, or attempted to
commit the crime. Her sister
returned about ten minutes la
ter, and ran screaming to the
home Of a neighbor, who return
ed with her to the Leeds house
and demanded to know what SUIT
ton had done to the little girl.
Sutton made no reply, bud shed
his painting clothes in a hurry
and hiked for the country.
Sheriff Fenton and the city po-
lice force mustered all the autoes
they could, and started in pur-
suit. Sutton was caught about
six miles south Of town, at the
Paul Shulenberg place, and was
brought to town and lodged in
jail.
In the evening a crowd Of
about five hundred people gath
cred about the court house, and
talk of serving Sutton as Lillis
was served could be freely heard
on every hand. Accordingly,
Fenton and chief of po-
lice Aldrich removed the prisoner
from the jail, placed him in an
auto and took him to Humboldt,
catching a train from there to
Lincoln, where the prisoner was
placed for safe keeping.
This is the second affair of
the kind within a few months,
and public sentiment is strong
ly aroused. While it is freely
admitted on all sides that the
law will probably take the proper
course and punish the guilty, it
is doubtful if it will be allowed
to do so in case the people get
their hands onto the culprit.
Such a crime is the most awful
in the annals of our country, and
who will not eveince some feel
ing when they think it might
be their daughter next, N very
poor specimens.
It is to be hoped that Sutton
will have a just and speedy trial,
and that if found guilty, he will
be given the limit, which is life
Imprisonment.

The deacon reluctantly con
scented at last to put the gloves
on and placed himself in the at
titude of offense and defense as
shown him by the pastor.
"Now, brother" said the pas
tor, "watch my eye. The eye
tells where the hand is going to
strike. Pay no attention to the
hand. But watch my eye, and
watch it closely"
The deacon said: "Well, pas
tor, you will not strike hard?''
ooh, no." said the pastor, 81
will be very careful about that.
Now, when you see me make a
pass at your head, sidestep-
duck-also use your right and
left guard. All ready"
Then the pastor commenced to
move his hands with lightning
1apidity. The deacon evidently
became confused and forgot the
Instructions about watching the
eye, and the muscular paftor,
warming up to the excitement of
the sport, forgot the promise he
bad made about being easy. lie
let out with a straight righthan-
der which caught the deacon in
the eye. The deacon's head hit
the floor on the other side OF the
room. 1t was some little time be-
fore he recovered consciousness
and walked up to find the pas
tor pouring water in his face.
The pastor was profuse in his
apologies, but the deacon did not
appear to be at all satisfied. lie
put on his hat in a dazed man
ner and left the study. In about
five minutes his eye was closed
entirely and a discoloration was
appearing all around it. For two
or three days he was very much
annoyed with embarrassing ques-
tons and at the next meeting OF
the church board he arose in his
place and said:
Brethren, [ do not know
what you think about it, but SO
far as I am concerned l prefer
to have a man for pastor who
has more grace and less muscle
The other deacons took the
matter under advisement, but did
not vote to dismiss the pastor at
that time. Later on, however, the
pastors love for fast horses got
him into trouble. There was a
race meet in Topeka and the
pastor. who had purchased a fast
trotter, entered his nag. The
church deacons were considerab-
" mortified to learn that the
pastor, in the garb of a driver,
was speeding his horse around
the track in competition with the
other trotters. They decided that
he was a little too sporty for
them, and at the next meeting Of
the church board his relations as

In a few weeks an annual re-
port Of the company will be issued,
and in view Of that | do not feel
that it is necessary for me at this
time to make any statement bearing
upon the market price of the
stock, further than to denounce
as unqualifedly untrue any re-
port that | have been selling.
n believe the annual report will
show that the physical condition OF
the property is as good as It has
ever been. There has been CON
certed raid upon the stock, and

REPAIRING NOW GOING
ON AT THE GIROUX SHAFT

Work of making repairs in the Gil
rouX shaft is going steadily ahead
and as fast as can be expected I'M
der the circumstances. The amount
of damages to the timbers is less
below the 1000 station and pocket
than was expected and it may be
proven, when the mine is unwat
cred, that the fire originated in
the 1000 station, and what fire de-
velCped below that station was de-
veloped by fire brands dropping into
the shaft.
Some of the 12-inch timbers that
have been taken out are burned
half through, while most of them
are not burned as much. All that
are damaged at all are being taken
cut and replaced with new timbers,
and within a short time the shaft
will be as good as new down to
the water level, which is about
100 feet from the surface.-Ely
