An italian, whose name Is unknown,
was committed to BrOOkville jail last
night for criminal assault on Miss
Burton, aged seventeen years, at Lon
don mine yesterday afternoon. The Ike
was going for bucket OF water and
when he got In front OF the house where
the girl had Il window out cleaning it
he stopped and looked wicked at her u
little while and dropped his bucket and
ran In the house after her. She saw
him coming and jumped out Of the win
dow, but he was quick enough to catch
her dress, which he held on to and also
jumped through the window. He
threw her down and had her by the
throat when her brother and Will Rep
sher, who heard her scream, came to
her rescue. The Ike would not let her
go and even in the presence Of the two
men the fiend continued the attempt
to accomplish his hellish crime. Rep
sher hit the Ike on the head twice with
a car brake shoe, which weighs about
twelve pounds, and knocked him insen-
sible before he let go OF the girl. Then
the girls brother kicked him until there
seemed to be no life left in him. The Ike
was arrested and brought to Reynolds
vile last evening for a hearing before
Squire Nef, but he refused to talk
to an interpreter or give his name, and
was committed to Jail without a hear
ing. He was so badly battered up that
he was in critical condition.

ployed with switch crew in the b., r.
Il L. yards at Dubois. had very narrow
escape from n horrible death Sunday

mishap:
"The crew was engaged in shifting
cars at Falls Creek. Schlabig was on
the front end Of the string, and jumped
of in front Of them in order to turn a
switch. As he struck the ground his
ankle turned under him and he fell
lengthwise between the rails. In a
moment the cars were on him. When
he saw he could not escape lay perfectly
still as the best thing to do under the
circumstances. Fortunately no part OF
his body got under the wheels, and his
injuries came from the break beams
raking his body. His companions, who
had witnessed the accident, succeeded
In stopping the enging after three and
half cars had passed over him. He
was taken out and brought to his home
at 1OS South Franklin street, and Drs.
Free and Fugate summoned. Upon ex-
animation IL was found that he had
sustained the fracture OF both bones in
the right leg just above the ankle, and
was badly bruised about the head and
right arm. He thinks he broke the leg
In alighting.'

and instead Of letting go OF the bar
when his feet struck the ground. he
hung on and was thrown under the
cruel wheels. Both legs, between the
knees and ankles, were terribly crushed
The boy was hauled to the Main street
crossing and carried from there to his
home. near the tannery, on stretcher
Three or four doctors were at the cross
ing when the unfortunate youth arrived
and everything possible was done for
the boys comfort and to save his life,
but the efforts were unsuccessful. Both
legs were amputated, the right leg be-
low the knee and the left one above the
