A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
bob" Davis Pays an Early Morning
Visit TO the House Of Clara
Weichel In Centre Street.

At daybreak yesterday Clara Weichel.
a Center street woman, while yet abed
was murderously assaulted by form
er paramour, the notorious Bob"
Davis.
Davis gained entrance to the house
by removing a widow screen and fore
ing open the window on the ground
floor. He then went to the kitchen.
where. on account of his familiarity
with the house. he knew duplicate keys
for all the rooms We're kept.
Selecting the key to the room of Miss
Weichel he let himself in and then as
saulted her. He had knife and a
club, but when he found. unexpectedly,
that the hOusekeeper was sleeping with
the Weichel woman he presumably
feared to carry out his design, but in
his jealous rage could not resist the
temptation to strike her and with his
heavy walking stick he dealt her two
cowardly blows.
The first struck her square across the
forehead, but remarkable to say, only
dazed her. She awoke in an instant
and instinctivel;- raised her arm to pro-
tect herself The second blow fell upon
her forearm. Seeing his victim was
awake and to all appearances con-
scious, Davis turned and fled, but not
before he was seen ana recognized by
both the women. When he had gone q
butcher knife with seven inch blade
was found on the floor
The Weichel woman had her wounds
attended to Immediately. and then sent
word to Alderman Millar's Office OF
what had occurred The alderman sent
an officer to look for Davis but up to
late hour last night he had not been
found.
About month ago Davis was bailed
out of the county Jail. where he was
awaiting trial for pointing firearms.
contempt of court and running a young
girl. He went to the Weichel woman's
house and insisted on being harbored,
although forbidden the place by the
proprietress. He became such an an
noyance that two weeks ago she had
him turned out. He threatened to kill
her. and fearing that he would carry
out his threat she had him arrested
and arraigned before Alderman Millar.
He professed repentance and upon his
agreement to molest her no more she
withdrew the prosecution. Nothing
was again heard from him until his
murderous visit yesterday morning
The Weichel woman says that Davis
IS insanely jealous of q friend of hers
who he thinks has caused her to turn
against him.

For he's the peoples friend.

Even animated nature
Seemed bound with sweet delight;
For never did the rosters crow,
AS they crowed that night.
Our Grand Old Party Is on top;
Democracy with US has Joined.
Now there Is nothing of them left,
Except the silver craze they coined
They sang it long. they sang it loud,
They yelled it with all their might;
But never did the roostcrs crow

While all the ornaments of Europe
were silent, and "The Great Powers"
failed to speak one effective word and
feared to strike one saving blow, they
spoke so all the world should hear.
Their words shall yet shake the
treacherous Turk from his throne,
and no Star of the Spangled Banner
shall be dimmed by shame, nor one OF
its Stripes stained by the innocent
blood Of those betrayed.
Never for such heroism shall they
be prosecuted, imprisoned or banished
by the bloody Turk, nor driven from
their ruined homes, nor exiled from
their fields of loving labor.
Not If we, who bear the name OF
Americans, are worthy defendants os
Puritans, Hugenots and Crusaders
of the past or fit citizens for the great
republic of the present and the'future.
Surely we should show the world to-
day what that power stands for which
is represented by the stars and stripes
till Turk and tyrant alike, tremble be-
fore its folds.
II we fail to act as free men should
in vindicating the cause Of American
citizenship, we will forfeit the respect
of the world, and brand ourselves
towards Iecreant TO our trust"
BETRAYED BY THE POWERS.
That the great powers of Europe
have betrayed. the innocent blood of
unnumbered thousands for more or less
than "Thirty Pieces Of Silver" will
never wipe away the stain from Amer
lean honor IL we fail TO do our duty
today.
That Disraeli and Salisbury gave
the Judas kiss for England TO the
Christians of Turkey nearly twenty
years ago viii not do away with the
disgrace to America, il we fail to act
today.
That Russia refuses TO come TO the
rescue of either Greek or Roman or
Armenian Christians Of the Ottoman
Empire today, does not relieve Amer
icans of their responsibility now,when
citizens Of the great republic are de-
spoiled, their homes threatened and
property destroyed, and they, our rep
resentatives of peace and good will
and self-sacrificlng herolsm,. are in
danger of being driven into exile.
