three eiris ozone of whom are over Ill
teen years of age) that she will proba-
bly die. Her assailauts, Mamie Wright,
Sophia Mickle and Victoria Bennett,
are in Jail. The cause Of the assault is
rather mysterious. 1t seems that Miss
Bitner, with young lady companion,
was walking along east Ohio street
and in passing group of young girls
at play she made some jocular remark
concerning the party, whereupon one
of the youngsters seized her by the
hair and pulled her to the ground
While prostrate Miss Bitner was kick
ed on the head and beaten into insen
sibilitv. Her companion was unable
to protect her and rescue was only
effected when two men came upon the
scene. The physicians attending MISS
Bitner say her skull is fractured and 8
blood cot has formed on the brain.
Her recovery is doubtful.
