ARRESTED FOR AT
TEMPTED RAPE
John Christ, Better Known as the "Big
Swede" in Trouble Again.

John Christ, Better Known as the "Big
Swede" in Trouble Again.
John Christ, better known in this
vicinity as the ''Big Swede," was ar
rested Saturday night, charged with
attempted rape on the person Of Miss
Alkaline Benefited, as years old, an
invalid sister of Marshal Alt Bene-
field.
As we get the story from Marshal
Benefited and others who were called
to the home, Miss Adeline was at
home alone at about $50 o'clock,
when Christ came along the sidewalk.
He made his way up to the door, and
Miss Adeline, frightened at his pres
ence, ran screaming through her
home. She was pursued by the
"Swede" who caught her as she at
tempted to leave the house, and
thrown down on the front porch.
Her screams brought several neigh
bors to the rescue, but it was several
minutes before enough men arrived
on the scene to overpower Christ,
who prides himself on his strength
and fighting qualifications. The po-
lice were summoned by telephone,
and Christ was locked up. He waived
a preliminary hearing, and was bound
over to the circuit court on $4,000
bond, which he failed to furnish and
was taken to Butler Tuesday and
lodged in iail.-Review.

An Interesting Letter From
Uncle Iy Morgan.

Dear Old ADVERTISER The first
paper I ever read or remember
reading was The Advertiser, and
that was sixty years ago, and l was
too young then to know what Ad-
vertiser meant.
Those were the days of regiment
al musters and fist fights, ana there
comes to my mind now an incident
1T Red Hill when the Colonel, Ben
Strom, had desire to give one of
the privates, George Broadwater, a
pounding, but it was stopped by
the friends of both parties interfer-
ing, and l a little fool didn't like
it. | wanted to see two big grown
men fight. Older heads didn't, and
they were right.
But times have changed and in
stead Of a broken nose or black
eye tits bullet hole. Yes, sir, the
men of to-day are not what they
were sixty years ago. Very few are
willing or man enough to pull off
their coats and hats and say, here
1 am walk in and I will give yc {.
the best in my shop" No sir, tbs
pistols first, last and all the time,
and l don't like it. I got enough of
the things during the war, and
haven't owned one since 1876, and
have had no need for one. But say
some, what are you going to do if
some fellow pulls ia pistol OH you,
and you unarmed." Just bare your
breast and tell him to crack away
if he is SO cowardly. But enough. /
could fill every page of your paper
with evils of to-day, and / despise
every one OF those evils. Not the
men, Oh, no! l am sorry for any
man or woman who is lead off by
the evil spirit.
