LURED TO LONELY SPOT

A third attempt 70 commit a brutal
crime within the past few weeks was
made Thursday afternoon about 1870
o'clock on the person Of little nine
year-old Margaret Steger. daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Piqus Steger OF 227
S. Cleveland St, this city.
According TO a statement Of Mrs.
Williams. the visiting nurse Of the
Mishawaka public schools, the out
rage was not committed, although the
little girl was enticed 10 a lonely spot
in back Of the Mishawaka Wooden Co.
plant along the banks OF the St. Jo-
seph river. Mrs. Williams, after the
little girl told her story to her teach
er at the Main school building, came
at once upon being summoned by
Principal Moran and examined her.
GiTS Tells OF Advances.
Margaret told a straight forward
story in a steady voice, though she
plainly showed n state Of nervousness
as q result OF the attack which she
had undergone.
She said that a we'll dressed, middle
aged man approached her at the cor
ner OF West ST and Lincoln highway
while she was enrOute to the Main
school where she is attending the sixth
grade. He spoke to her in a kind,
gentle manner which at once won the
confidence OF the little girl. He told
her that he would give her some pen
MES II she would get him some milk.
In perfect trust she promised to do
this. He then told her little sister
who was with her TO go on to school.
which she did on the advice Of her
sister Margaret.
Go to Lonely spot.
The man then directed her to go
with him, walking down y. West st.
toward the river After walking for
a block or more, he told her that he
would also like TO have her deliver
a letter which he said a party in a
boat house along the river had. He
asked her TO go with him TO the
boat house to get this letter and she
consented.
Arriving at the bank Of the river
the man suddenly changed from a
kindly gentle manner 20 one OF brG-
tally and taking her in his arms
threatened TO strike her If she cried
out or screamed. Frightened by the
threat, she obeyed without hesitation.
Later he walked back with her as
far as the Elkhart and Western rail-
road cracks where he left her, warn
ing her not 10 tell anyone of what
had happened.
All out of breath and crying and
shaking with fear she came into the

TO her teacher. She was able TO give
Mrs. Williams and the police a good
description Of the man, and the police
department is at work in an attempt
to apprehend the offender
