A Devilish Act. PRETTY GIRL DELIBERATELY POISONED BY A SCOUNDREL. BOULDER, Col., Nov. 2. Boulder is all excitement over a terrible crime that was committed here last night. George Weiderholt took Dora Anderson, a pretty Swede girl, for a walk, and it is alleged forced her to take poison against her will. She strongly objected, but he held her nose and forced her to drink a vial of laudanum. He then threw away the bottle, which was found this morning, still containing some of the poison. As soon as the crime was made known physicians were called and they worked over her from midnight last night until 9 o’clock this morning, when the unfortunate girl died. Weiderholt was arrested and lodged in jail. He denies all knowledge of the affair but the evidence is said to be conclusive.
