MRS. GUY AGAIN ASSAULTED
A Negro Enters Her Yard and
Knocks Her Down.
Three Attacks Have Been Made on Her
in the Past Ten Days. A Negro Sus-
pected. A Searching Party

ardlY Brute.

Three assaults on a married woman
in her own home by negro within ten
days is an awful record for this city,
yot the Police Department seems to be
taking very little interest in the matter
although the lady assaulted ia the wife
of a policeman.
About ten days ago. who while Mrs
Mary Guy. wife OF Officer James Guy,
was sitting in tho hallway of her house
on Duke street extended, holding her
3 year-old boy, a negro entered and
without warning picked up the chair in
which she MAS seated and carried her
into tho yard. Mrs. Guys screams
brought several neighbors and the negro
mnde his escape.
-Four days later negro, presumably
the same one, pasued tue house. and
after making faces at her shook his
first in Mrs. Guys face.
His work last night, however, capped
the climax Tor lawlessness. Mrs. Guy,
about $3.50 o'clock, was seated in rock
ing chair nt her bnck door when a
negro entered the yard aud going up
10 her struck powerful blow with his
fist i'll tho lndy's breast, knocking hor
down in her own hallway. Her Screams
awoke her brother, who was asleep in
the hill and in few minutes several
of the neIghbors were searching for
the man, but without success. Justice
Gregory, who WAS ut his home at the
time, visited the house where the as.
suult occurred, and also joined in the
search. When seen at the police sta
ton last night the Justice said that q
negro was under suspicion. Mrs. Guy
is positive she can identify her assal.
ant, although she was suffering from
nervous prostration last night, aud DR..
Dupuy had be called in.

ST. Louis has begun the preliminary steps

that city on the lines OF the Detroit plan,"
the potato patch scheme. This is the sea-
son for starting such enterprises. II any
thing in that direction is to be done in this
city this year no more days should be lost.
There is no guarantee to be had now that
next winter the need for collectors to aid
the poor will not be quite as pressing as
last winter. The plan Is not altogether ex-
perimental; another city has given it
thorough trial and its success has appar-
emily been demonstrated. At any rate the
project should be thoughtfuliy Investigated
~ all citizens who arc dealing with the
subject Of local charitable relief, and If the
Plan Is inapplicable to local conditions or
undesirable on any ground, the reasons for
this conclusion should be spread before the
public. Then the decision reached will be
