A Young Lady Assaulted by an Unhupg
Villain.
BANGOR, Pa, December A case OF at.
tempted abduction he's been reported.
About s o'clock Thanksgiving afternoon
Mira Eldridgc, girl about 16years old,
started to walk to her unclo's house, in a
street little travelled. A man followed her,
and at lonesome part Of the city sudden.
ly quickened his pace, and, catching up
with the girl took her by the arm and said:
ttI want you to 20 with me-" The girl was
frightened and sprang away from the man,
who seized her savagely by the arm again,
and said with fearful oath: III you make
an outcry I will kill YOU" She, however,
screamed as loud as she could, He con.
tinued to swear at and threaten her, but
she persisted in screaming.
The villain then ran his fingers down
her throat, when she bit them 80 hard that
he was glad 10 get them out again. The
rough then made an attempt TO choke her,
and would probably have succeeded II on
account OF cold her throat had not been
protected by thick scarf. The man threw
her down, but she succeeded in getting up
and screaming again. Two men who had
heard the cries at that moment ran to the
spot and the scoundrel-fed. The man, as
near as the girl can describe him, Is about
five feet ten inches in height, quite stout,
has dark hair, and heavy must lche. He
was dressed in dark clothes, and wore a
slouch hat. The police have the matter
under investigation, and it is hoped clue
has been found, and that the wretch will
be brought to Justice.
