CHARGED WITH A VERY SERIOUS CRIME.

Ray Kellenberger, of Hanging Grove tp., aged 19, was arrested Monday night charged with attempted rape on the 7-year-old daughter of John Wheeler of Lewiston, a station on the Gifford railroad. He was frightened away before he had injured the girl. The warrant was sworn out for his arrest before Bquire Bussell of Hanging Grove, who gave him a preliminary hearing and bound him over to the circuit court, and he is now in jail. Kellenberger has lived in Hanging Grove and Barkley townships for several years. He took his arrest coolly and seems unconcerned over to the matter. By some be is not thought to be very bright mentally.
