CRIME OF A JEALOUS sUITOR
Twice Before the Unknown Assassin
Had Fired Upon the Young
Woman.

ALBANY, Or, Dec 17.-News comes
from Harrisburg that an unknown
would-be assassin attempted to murder
Miss Ethel Riddle there Saturday night.
The girl. who is about Is years old, lived
with her uncle, George Henderson. After
supper she started to leave her home, and
as she emerged from the door she was
seized by man in the darkness. He
stabbed her in the neck and across the
wrists. She broke away and ran scream
ing toward the house. Mrs. Henderson,
hearing her cries, ran to the door and the
assailant fed.
A physician who was called found that
the girls wounds were not dangerous, the
cash in her neck having missed an artery.
Twice before, recently. Miss Riddle has
been the victim of attempted assassin
alton, having been fired upon in the
darkness. Her stories concerning the at
tacks were scarcely believed by her rela-
tives, who thought she was frightened at
promiscuous shooting in the neignbor-
hood. The young girls assailant was not
recognized in the darkness, and the only
theory as to the cause of the attempted
murder is that the deed was prompted by
the jealousy of rejected suitor.
