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

this conclusion: A remedy which cured

considerable money for medicines, try

found nothing to give me relief. They
helped me frgni the starf and soon \
was entirely relieved, of Ute trouble. 1
Cured to Stay Cured.
In 1905 Mrs. Johnson confirmed her
former statement by saying: “The cure
