Attempted Terrible Crime Involving Jim Bunn In Jail
Jim Bunn, a man with a checkered reputation, was arrested Saturday afternoon on an attempted rape charge involving Ethel Bartels, eight, in Cottage Grove. He was brought to the county jail after being held by a constable and examined before Justice Vaghan. A witness account detailed a failed attempt near a shed, leading to a chase along the river and the girl’s brother capturing him until lawmen arrived. The community faced strong feelings, with the incident overshadowing an earlier robbery effort by Bunn against James Kerr, who later testified about money stolen. Bunn pleaded not guilty and faces trial tomorrow at 10 a.m., with Charles M. Bisel as attorney.
