TRIES TO AbDUCT

Howard, S. D., Aug. 27.-As the re-
suit of a case of attempted abduction
Lewis Whitmarsh, who only recently
was released from the p~enitentiary
after serving a term for anw-0ffense
committed at Huron, has been lodged
in the Miner county Jail, with the pos
si5illty that four separate and dis
tinct charges will be made against
him, upon conviction Of which he will
be subject to a series of terms, Of i'm
prisOnment.
Whitmarsh is believed toabe some
what mentally unbalanced. The new
series of charges against him are the
result of his attempt to hold up and
abduct Mrs. Nettie Jensen-Fosther
while she was on her way to her
home in Howard with her baby and
little brother. This was at about 8
O'Clock at4night. When Mrs. Jensen
Fosteher repealed his advances he
drew a gun and ordered her to fol-
low him. In fear of her life, the
young woman followed him for a
short distance, and then, coming .op.
posite the gate of a residence, she
rushed into the yard and screamed.
Whitmarsh took to his heels,a but was
arrested in a short time at ahhoteli
where he had registered under an as
sumed name.
When searched a gun and part of a
kit of burglars tools were found in
his possession. His latest offense
subjects him to a charge of attempt
ed holdup, assault with intent to com
nit a statutory offense, having in his
possession burglar tools, and assault
with intent to do great bodily harm.
