and when he came the young woman
begged piteously not to be taken
"back to that place." Assured of
protection she became calmer and
told her story which was as follows:
She said she had come to Harrison
about three weeks ago in search of
employment as a servant girl,   that
being directed to Carr's- place she J officer successfully resisted all effort
went there and did not learn the
character of the house until after she
arrived. Then she was not permitted to leave, a close watch being
kept upon heiv She was subjected to
Insult and cruelty a long train of
abuses ending on Friday when she
was struck by a miserable attac ^e of
the place and felled to the iioor.
Complaining she was promised a
sound threshing at night but she determined not to wait to receive it.
Hence her flight. Her -appearance
and bearing are ladylike and much
sympathy Is aroused in her case
among the good people of Harrison,
The case will be Investigated„
in that direction. "If you wili take
that star off," said the would-be rescuer to Undei Shersff Mack, "I will
knock the head right off from you."
Mack unpinned the star from his
vest and placed it in his pocket.
Stepping up to his assailant he quietly Invited him to commence his job
of head knocking right away but the
poor fellow" was thoroughly cowed
and at once carried a motion to postpone indefinitely the punishment lie
had promised Mack. This was the
only motion he made. Next day the
girl was ta%en to Midland jail for
safe keeping, as another attempt at
her rescue was suspected.

his argument(?). briefly and the

that it looked very much as if this
was another effort in the same direction. He ordered the man taken
back to jail. This took the breath
away from lawyers Green and Can-
