The Anderson sisters, Mary and Jennie, are probably the best known and most popular young ladies of Rockville, in Bates county, where the the family reside. Last Tuesday Jennie was the victim of a most bru tal outrage. Bh told by herself, she was alone in the According to the story } house about the middle of the after j H noon, when a man appeared at the } kitchen door and asked for a drink of water. She said certainly he shold have what he asked for, and was just in the act of handing him the ylass of water when he threw his left arm around her neck and clapped his H } right hand, in which he held a hand kerchief saturated with chloroform, | over her mouth.

This resulted in the arrest last Thursday of # man answering the description given by the girl, He said his name was John Vanderburg, and that he lived at the little town of Eldorado Springs. This was found to be true, but he could give no good account of his whereabouts on the day of the outrage, and besides the description given by Miss Jennie, the fellow was given a bad name by several who knew him. He was taken to Rock ville Thursday evening. and Miss Jen aie screamed and fainted when she him.

Others testified as to her story im © her test nony, mediately after the assault. while the story of the arrest of the prisoner was told by those who captured him. The defense undertook to prove an alibi, but made a rather poor job of it. The result of the hearing was that Vanderburg was held in $10,000 bond. Just as this was announced, there was some commotion near the door of the court-room, and at the game time a pistol shot rang out.

Engineer Jenkins sprang off his seat, jammed the air brakes down as tightly as they could be put on and reversed his huge engine, one of the largest on the road, and “pulled her open.” The man’s cries described as fearful as he hung there awaiting almost certain death, and were his feelings can never be described.
