Outrageous Attempt Upon a Girl's Honor at the Yoder
Miss Lulu McConnell of Cross Keys reports to have led to a warrant for W. Burgess, a City Opera House actor, on a serious charge of incident with intent. She says Burgess pulled her into a room at the Yoder, made an improper proposal, and attempted to force his will on her, using a gag to silence her as her clothing was torn. Burgess was reported in custody after notes to arrest and witnesses, while the drama company heads toward Marysville for the week. The account includes additional family and local notices and unrelated advertisements.
