The Piqua Democrat, Piqua, Ohio, Wednesday, August 1, 1866, Volume 3,
Number 1

An Outrage.---A negro attempted to commit an outrage upon the person of
a young lady near this place.  There are many conflicting rumors about
the circumstances of the case, and we can nor find any person who seems
to know anything about it, or any two men who tell the same story. The
Sheriff, with a posse, went to the house of the negro, who is named
HODDY, we believe, but he made his escape. We can not learn that any
measures are now being taken to secure his arrest. We sincerely hope he
may be apprehended, and if found guilty, suffer the extreme penalty of
the law. There is talk of a reward being offered for him, but nothing
definite has been done. --- Sidney Journal.
