THAT ALLEGED ASSAULT.

A fake item. worked up into some
what of a sensation by an imaginative
reporter, appeared in Sunday paper
relating to the details of an alleged
assault upon prominent young lady
of Moundsville, near the Benwood
ferry landing, Friday night, by four
we'll known young men of Benwood.
There was no assault COM
mitted, and the transaction at the
river bank could not be construed as
such. The Benwood police know the
names of all parties concerned, and If
anything of the nature alleged had oc-
Cured, they could easily arrest all OF
them.

ATHENS, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE women of this
city rejoice tonight that VIII Coleman, colorcd,
is in Jail, but the officers of tho jail arc at their
wits ends to prevent the l~ynching Of tho man
before morning. Beginning about three months
ago, womcnin various parts Of the city reported
from time to time having been struck by a negro
who would Immediately disappear after each
blow. Tho regular recurrence of the assaults
created CONSERVATION because Of the presence
In tho Lucy Cobb Institute here OF 80 many
young women representing the best families OF
the South.
Just after the exercises at the Christian
Church had ended last night, Mrs. Shewell and
her daughter were walking homo when they
were set upon by a negro and both were struck.
The a~ssailant made his escape. A few minutes
later Mrs. Katie Thomas, who was leaving the
First Presbyterian. Church, was attacked by a
negro. She warded OF his blows with her UNI
brella. Two posses were organized and a search
for the negro was made.
At about IL o'clock. VIII Henry Coleman.
1s years old. was found in hiding on the out
skirts OF the town. He answered the general
description Of the assailant and was arrested.
He was brought back to town by a circuitous
route to avoid mob violence and was put in jail.
He was identified this morning by Mrs. Thomas
as the negro who attempted to strike her. The
three hundred university students arc tho ones
from whom violence Is most feared. They
feel that 1t is their prerogative to protect WON.

not gaming. as it could not DO proved that tho
players were playing for money or any other

Spread or the FLAMES.
MEDINA, n. V, Dot. 1.-THE thing so much
dreaded by tho brave mon and women who
have for the past two weeks been fighting tho
forest fires that threatened their homes hap
pened to-day. This morning a strong wind
arose and has been blowing q stiff gale all day.
The fre.fighters are working hcroically to keep
the flames from passing the trench that has
been dug about one side Of the Tonawanda
swamp. As fast as they are overcome by the
smoke and heat recruits take their places. They
are working in watches Of six hours each,
there being four squads each day.
- The fire which just now threatens the most
serious damage is that In the HolbridGe dis.
trict, just west and south Of Shelby Centre.
Supervisor H.. L.. James is working all the men
he can get hold Of to widen the ditch dug in the
swamp peat mosses. The flames seem to con-
sumo even the sandy stratum that lies under
meath the foot or 80 OF peat MOSES with which
the swamp is covered. The trench is patrolled
in case the flames have broken over the trench.
They asst tract OF land in which the village
OF Meadville. now almost wiped out by the fires,
was situated presents n desolate appearance.
On the direct road to the Indian reservation
the entire forest, including dwellings that had
been built by lumbermen, Is burned to the
ground.
The foreman OF the burned mill at Mcadville
says that the fire was started by Charles Sci
bert in some underbrush. Scibert had no idea
Of the devastation his innocent act would ac-
Complish.
