Tillamook City on Friday evening was in a state of excitement owing to the re port that a young man by the name of Myo Coffman had ravaged Rhoda, the nine year old daughter of Mr. John E. Embum when returning home from Fair view school that afternoon. The only thing that saved Coffman from liecoming a victim of lynch law was that he became frightened and then tailed to carry out his intentions. What with an indignant father on the heels of Coffman, ready to shoot the ravager on sight, and whisper- ing groups of citizens bent on lynching, Coffman's life hung in the balance for several hours, and it was no wonder that he wanted to be locked up in save keep ing to avoid being riddled with holes or strung up to a telephone pole. It appear that Coffman rode out to Fairview on Friday afternoon on his bike to distribute bills, and riding up behind Rhoda Embum, gave her some of them. He asked her to ride his bicycle and told the girl that some money was lost in the brush and wanted her to help go and find it. While doing so Coffman tried to ravage the girl, and it was only thro ugh the persistent screaming of Rhoda when Coffman got her down on the ground which prevented him from carry ing out his intention, although he tried iiard to do so and placed his hand over the girl's mouth to stop her scieaming so. Coffman becoming frightened allow ed her to get up. Havinggothis bicycle, he tried to |>ersuade Rhoda not to say anything of what had occurred, but she did not do so. He said if she did she and her folks would lie arrested. Coffman then rode off on his bicycle and Rhoda went home and told her parents, who after a time obtained from the girl wlmt had happened,when Mr. Embum started out on horse back to find the offender, well armed, but, fortunately for Coff- man, the latter eluded him. Coffman had a preliminary hearing lie fore Justice Goyne on Monday, and the evidence being so strong against him the justice bound him over to the grandjury, setting bail at $1000. There nppenra to lie no doubt as to the identity of Coff man, for Miss Rhoda pointed him out when in the midst of about a dozen young men, but she revolted when asked to touch him.
