Danville, Ill June 24 – Grant Nixon 19 years
old and who recently removed from Fountain County, Indiana to Armstrong in this
county, committed a brutal outrage upon the 13 year old daughter of Max Well, a
substantial farmer living near Armstrong. Nixon met Miss Weller on the highway
and without any words made an assault upon her, tearing her clothes off her
back and beating her into insensibility. Searching parties were immediately
organized, but have been unable to find the scoundrel.
