Spseialto theOhiea^o Inter-Oceaa. 1 MaNoNK,IlUOet^2a-About 8 o'clock this morning Miss Martin,a young lady, daughter of a promiaent sto«k dealer in this ftlace, who resides south of the eity, was .found near tfcersailroad, half a mile fronrher home, horribly mutfflated and in aa insena&le condition, her wounds [{resulting film an attempt at rape. Help wasct oncfjbroeured, and she was taken to her fathirs house, ««rhere she revived sudwiently to give the^iame of the wouldbe murderer, The young scoundrel in question, one Homisiliebore, who works at blacksmit^lng in this place, was ar rested and taken into her presence, where he was full* identified .as the perpetrator of the hellish deed. iHe remained stolid and indifferent fo the dNadful -work he had-aerfonmd, and neilhisr denied. 1 admitted the crime. It spears.that the young lady was waylaid while returning l'rom*church Sunday at tioon, and Sad lain nearly 20 hours in an insensible con* dition before being found. Her woends, it is hoped, will not frove fatal, although her chances of life ace few. The hrute did net succeed in his devilish deed, is thought that he, supposing ho had kiUed her, and being horri&ed at the idea of murder, left without accomplishing ais purpose. Her wounds were several severe cuts in the forehead, apparently with a dull knife, and two ugly stabs in the throat, one of which penetrated the windr pipe, nearly severing it. The young devil returned to his work at the usual hour this imorning, evidently supposing the girl dead and all trace of his crime destroyed, but retribution overtook him much sooner than he expected. Popular indignation is thoroughly aroused in this vicinity, and there seems no doubt but the crime will fee punished to the fullest extent of the law. ,,
