Two Brothers Charged willi Raping
a Little Girl ,
Their Claim of Innouonec.
Two young men , brothers , widely if
not well known in this city , Andy and
Michanl Davy , have boon arroated on a
horrible charge , that of raping a young
girl , aged between thirteen and fourteen ,
and named Lizzie Smith. Her stepfather -
father , John Smith , formerly lived hero ,
and on Thanksgiving day ho and Mrs.
Smith , with tno girl , came over hero to
spend the day. Mr. Smith's statement
in substance is that ho hired ono of Mar
tin's hack , dtivon by ono of the Davy
brothers , and took n ride about the
city. lifter riding about for some
time , Mrs. Smith was loft to
viait.Bomo friends living in the old Almy
house near Wick ham'a brickyard , whllo
Smith and the girl continued the drivo.
On Broadway they stopped at a saloon
and while the girl remained in the hack ,
Smith and the driver went in to got aomo
drinks. Smith foil in conversation with
some friends , and the driver said ho had
got to go down to the Rock Island depot ,
in time to catch the 0:30 : train for Omaha. .
The little girl was going to got put of "
tha carriage , but the driver said she
could just as wall ride down to the Rack
Island.and back , so aho concluded to do DO ,
the father remaining in the saloon ,
awaiting their return. Ho waited in
vain , and as it got dark started out to a
look the driver up. After sumo search
ho saw the hack with the two Davy
brotnors both on the seat , and the horses
being driven rapidly. Ho called and
shouted , but in vnin. The next heard
of them was that they drove up to the
houeo where Mrs. Smith was stopping ,
loft the girl there and drove away. Mrs.
Smith suys that when she found the girl
she was in a horrible condition and had
evidently been mutilated for she was
even unable to walk up the steps Into
the house. As soon as the fact became
known that sno had been so ueed , Jua-
tice Shut/ was hunted up , an informa
tion filed , and warrants issued for the ar
rest of the Davy brothers who.
in the meantime , had put
up the team , and disappeared. They ,
were found , arrested and lodged in jal | ,
where they await examination , their bond "
being fixed at Sl.OUO each.
It Is understood that the burden of in
their defense will bo that the girl was not
so innocent as aha was youthtul , and that
they uaod no force or violence , but on
the other hand gave the girl two dollars ,
The affair was a moat disgraceful ono ,
oven if this should prove to bo the fact
Tbo examination of the case- will probably
take place to-day before Justice Schurz.

"I hnvo boon in aovoral collisions my
nelf , and I can't say that I like them an n
rule , but once when 1 was n boy before the
nmst I enjoyed a collision about ns much
as any other streak ot luck that over hap-
poucd to mo , if not more , " said an old
aoa captain ono day recently in a South
atroot chandlor'o shop. Thia remark led
to a murmur of surprise on the part oi
several other captains who had assembled
in the ohop with a view to pas8lng'a
ploaoant hour or so in nmusing and in
etructlvo conversation of n maritime na
ture. The captain who had admitted
having taken solid comfort in a collision
was requested to spin his yntn , which ho
roudily consented to do.
"About thirty ycara ago , when 1 wna a
boy of 17j" ho began , "I shipped before
the mast on a-down cast hark. We wont
from Boston to the west coast of Florida ,
where wo took on a omall cargo of lum
ler for London. It waa late in Septem
ber when TTO got clear of the Straits of
Florida and stood across the Atlantic.
When wo got up somewhere beyond the
Western Islands the bark struck
cyclone. She worked heavily aud began
to leak. Wo took ] to the pumps , but the
water gained on us until the hold was
full and wo shipped seas that toro the
bulwarks away on both sides of the main
decks. But the worst of it wna that the
lumber didn't ( ill the hold and It began
working around. It Boomed to us that
the bark was going to break up or
olflo that the cargo would shift and
capsize us. The eocond uight of the 1
storm the captain gave out that wo
would abandon the bark noit day if an ; 1
other vessel should come up. Morning
came , and , although it was not blowing
DO hard , the sea was awfully choppy.
Along in the afternoon wo sighted a
western-bound ship that was running before
fore the -wind , which then was oast. She
was bound toward us , and as soon as wo ni
.vero auro of that wo gave three cheers ,
Dut wo felt a llttlo uneasy , because wo (
now wo would have a hinvy Boa to tackle
n getting to the stranger. She came up
n line style , and when about half a milo ;
all'sho hove to and dropped doivn to Ice-
ward of us , DO that our boat would drift ]
lown to her. Wo launched our big boat , :
jut tha sea -was mighty rough , and it was '
lard work getting Into it. I sprang to-
ivard the torn bulwarks to jump into the
joat , but the mate pushed mo back. ;
" 'Just you wait a bit , ' said ho , ' when
ill the men are in it will bo your turn. ' "
"I waited until oven the captain had
ot in , and I was just going to follow
lim when one of the men yelled , 'Iriok
ut , there's a BOB , ' and the boat pushed
iway from the side of the bark. The '
ark giwo u roll and a heavy sea came on
joard and knocked mo oil'my fout. In a
ninuto the water was gone , and 1 found
nysolf lying in tro scupper , close to the
orn bulwarks. I hoard the mate c.ill tone
no to hurry up , and the boat uimo b&ck
the bark'o aide. 1 tried to spring up , , '
jut something hold mo back. I felt a
tain in my right leg. Then I looked
iround and found that my leg wna jmi
ned under a spare apar which lud boon
dshcd to the bulwarks , The heavy sea J1.0
iad raiaod the epar a bit , and whun it
rent back to its place it closed on my
eg. Although it must have bruised my
og , I didn't ' notfco any pain until I tried
got up. I made several desperate
uga , bat it was no uso. My leg was /ant , o
ud the upar was a heavy otio , 1 wan
aught In a trap.
"J yullod to the man in the boat.
-hoy scorned to know the fix I wns in ,
md the boat came up close , but than the ip
jiirk began rolling attain , and the boat
gain kept away. 1 could only lay there
vilh iny log fast under the upar and bug
ny shipmates to come back to mo. Thu
aptain Boomed to want to save mo but
ho mate polntod to the ship hove to
icar by. Probably ho was tolling the n
nun that the ship wouldn't wait long cca :
md that they couldn't spend any tlmo in a
aving mo , At any rate whllu 1 was Iiu
H'gging ( or dear lifo the oars were . Ii.f
nannod and the boat headed u way from .f
no. I could sue the men through the t
orn bulwarks , bat none of thorn would
ook back toward mo. I begged and ip
mrsod and otrugglod , but no ono paid
iny attention to mo , and the noluo of the
wind and aoa must Jiavo drowned my ;
rlos. The bark driftoi around broad- , o
iido to thn sea ao that at I lay there in
iny trap J could BOO the boat ooruo along
iido the ship , J could oeo the men us
hay were welcomed on board , and ITo
BCD the yardt equaro uround
the eallu fill. There werofiguroa on the
locks , and probably the people worn ,
ooklng at the b.irk , but I don't think
they in ( 'o mo out as I atrugijled and n
yullod and curnud. The ship mured nwny , :
shall nnvor forget how that black Bturu
looked us it roao and foil on the heavy
scan mid gradually grew aumllor neil
Biimllor and finally disappeared , leaving
inly the spars and nails in bight. Then
Uy down my head and gvo way to "
pVir.
"How Icursod the mate for having
pushed mo back on I wa about to cnur
thi hriJit , 1'ho men h d f" ved to c iuo
Alongside * ngnin. The captnin hud foarcd
to risk his life to vavo mine , nnd cureod
them all. They had probably told the
people on the ship that Uioy were nil
thorn that i. , nil but a poor lad that
had bflon washed overboard. 1 K < tvo myself -
self up for lost nnd lay in my trnp wish
ing for some moans by whicli 1 could kill
myself and BO shorten my misery. The
ship gave a few heavy rolls and a big sea
swept over me. Suddenly the weight on
mv leg was removed. .The water had
again lifted the spar. 1 gave n kick and
seized n torn stanchion. The wntor
rolled oil * on the deck nud 1 found my Itg
frco. I nroao nnd looked to loownrd. A

of my trap , but that wna all. The wind
was not very strong , but the sea was very
heavy , and the bark began to roll nt
times ns if oho wna nbout to capsize. It
wns getting dark rapidly , nnd I wont into
cnbin nnd crnwltd Into the captain's
berth , after taking otT my oilskins. I
found it pretty comfortnblo , although the
bark wns rolling terribly , nnd before I
know it 1 wna nalocp. It limit have boon
midmlght when 1 woke up , for 1 wns
used to wnking nt eight _ bolls , I wn
hungry , nud I felt my wny into the cabin
storeroom , where I found some soft bread
and good moat. 1 nto n lot of this , nnd
then , picking up jug of water , 1 took
0110 of the beet nnd longest drinks I have
over had. Junt ns I finished it the bark
gave n roll that throw mu out of the store
room door nnd clo.tr ncrons the cabin. I
picked myself up nnd tuahod out on the
deck. A moment Inter the bark gnvo an
other frightful roll , nnd being by the bul
warks that were uppermost , I seized
thorn , but the bark went over nnd over
until she was moro than on her beam
ends. Then 1 crnirlod out on the vessel's
side , but r.a I mndo this efl'ort she cap
sized completely and 1 found myself in
the water , sinking rapidly. But I soon
begun to rite , nnd when 1 readied the
surface found myself near the capsized
wreck , the bottom of which roao out of
the water like the back of n hugn whnlo.
" 1 wna n good a Trimmer , and managed
to keep afloat while 1 searched nrouudfor
some piece of wreckage to cling to. After
swimming nround for a fuw momenta I
found n largo water cook. I got hold of
this nnd found that the ropes by which
it had boon lashed on duck were still faat
to it , although they had boon broken.
The cask w.s rolling comowhnt and 1 did
not dareto lash myself to it for fear thivt
It would roll over nnd leave mo on the
under nido. But the ropes made
it onoier for mo to hang on to thu
cask. In this way I mannged to keep
lloat until daybreak. There was no
VCSBO ! in sight then , but I waa close to
the capsized wreck. 1 determined to
attempt to climb up the stem to the kcol
and 1 was pushing my cask toward the
bows of the wreck when 1 saw two ropes
running down the side from the keel
about amidships. 1 got } ii > to the eido
and pulled on the ropes. They scorned
to yield when I pulltd downward , but
when I pulled upward they soon became
taut. I at once aaw that they were fast
to the bolaying-pino underneath the
water. After being mndo faat , thu sparu
ends had been celled up , but had been
washed overboard by heavy seas and
were trailing in the water when the bark
capsized. It occurred to mo that the
ropes were long enough to roach down
the other oido to the water's odgo.
Pushing my cask before mo I made my
way around to the other side of thu
wreck. There to my joy I found the
rope , though they had dragged aft some
what. 1 hauled thorn up n little and
made them fast to the lasliings of my
caak. 1 was very weak after having
passed some five hours in the water , but
grasped the two ropes and climbed up
the slippery side until 1 reached the koel.
