YASSftULTONftGIRL STARTS MftN HUNT • f Willow Creek Young Lady the Victim of a Brutal Attack By an Unknown. Was Alone in Home Yesterday When Stranger Calls; He Uses Chloroform. Sheriff Not Notified of the Af fair Until This Morning; No Arrests Made. From Friday’s Dally. This story appeared in The St. Paul Pioneer Press this morning: Vernon Center. Minn., Aug. 20. — Afoot and on horseback, in buggies ami in automobiles, residents of Blue Earth county are searching for an un identified man who today seized and chloroformed and then assaulted a young girl on a farm near here. If the fugitive is captured, say the search ers, he will “stretch hemp.” Edith Saulsbnry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Almond Saulsbury, living near Willow Creek, an inland pontoffice, was the victim of the brutal outrage. • Alone in the House. Miss Saulsbury's parents had gone to Amboy and she was alone at home. She was washing the windows on the outside.’ of the house at about 9:*30 o’clock * this morning when the crim inal approached her from behind. He threw over her head a cloth saturated with chloroform, saying: “I was here before when you was asleep. Now I’ll put you to sleep.” The man carried the girl into the house and assaulted her. When she re vived frbout an hour later she dragged herself .to the telephone-and summoned help. Man Hunt Is Begun. The surrounding country was imme diately in arms and posses, organ ized by farmers, left the fields and began a systematic man hunt. Several automobiles engaged in the search, which has thus far proved fruitless. If the girl’s assailant is caught he probably will be lynched, and unless the capture is so long delayed that popular anger subsides. Miss Saulsbury did not see her as sailant nor recognize his voice. ‘ Sheriff Not Notified. The sheriff’s office in this city was not notified of the alleged assault on Miss .Saulsbury until about ten o’clock this morning when The Free Press called up the officials there to learn further details of the affair. It seems strange that the commission of such a crime eould occur within a compara tively few miles of Mankato and the proper authorities not be apprised of the fact. The man hunt was continued throughout last night without result. Two or three suspected parties were interviewed, but they could give a good account of themselves. Sentinels were posted at the entrances of every bridge in the VVillow Creek country, so as to prevent the escape of the assailant of the girl. , Miss Saulsbury is about twenty-two years old. The only way to account for the failure of the posse to notify the sheriff or police in this city is that the crowd wanted to engage in a neck tie party —in case the criminal was caught—without interference. Sheriff Takes Up Case. This afternoon Sheriff Donahue had an interview with Mr. Saulsbury over the phone. His version of the assault upon his daughter 'is similar to that givrfi above. Deputy Sheriff Chamberlain of Am boy has interested himself in the case and he did everything possible to aid in runhing down the culprit. / There was a report in • circulation today that a man living in the Willow Creek district was suspected of the crime, but dews to the perpetrator are slender. The young lady told the sajbe story today that she related State Canvassing Board. Secretary of State Schmahl has se lected the four bther members ,of the state canvassing board, who will meet with hTm Sept. 23, to receive the re turns and declare the nominees of the primary election for dll office voted for in more than one county.
