and are on intimate terms OF friendship.
Young Eoby aud the girl have been
keeping company for come time. Last
evening about dark they went out Tor

her escort's base intentions. When
they reached g secluded spot the young
man threw his intended victim to the
ground and attempted to accomplish his
purpose. The girl, however, struggled
violently and screamed, and this fright
ened Loby, who beat retreat. The
girl went home and told her parents of
the occurrence. The father searched
for the youthful rape fend, and failing
to find him this morning swore out
warrant for his arrest. Loby has not
been seen since. AH he did not 20 home
last evening he is thought to have left
town, but is believed to be in hiding
near the city. He had no money, and
therefore they do not believe he has got
far away. He is described az dark COM
plexioned and of medium heighth.
