Title: Assault of Sallie Zimmerman
Date: 1888-12-07
Description: A newspaper article which reads,

"BRUTAL ASSAULT. - The quiet little town of Fincastle was thrown into a state of great indignation on Friday last by the bold and brutal attempt of John W. Dunn, a well-known barkeeper, to commit a criminal assault upon Miss Sallie Zimmerman, a highly respected young lady of the place. When the report became confirmed warrants were issued for the arrest of the rascal, who had meantime left the town on horseback, and has not since been heard from. Had he been caught it is believed he would have been lynched and he ought to have been. Dunn is a married man, and has been for several years barkeeper at the Haythe House."
