A warrant was sworn out before Justice White, of Elk Hart township, and the two culprits were arrested by the constable and their trial set tor Tues- day ot this week. From a gentleman from that neighborhood, who knows all the parties well, a Times man learned the following as told by the young lady: She said she was going her way when she met McKee and Her- old, who are neighbors and whom she knew and thought nothing until she was attacked by McKee, who caught her and threw her down and held her while Herold accomplished his hellish ends. If the above facts be true, and we have no doubt they are, the way of the transgressors, McKee and Her- old, will be hard.
