that on the first day when a steamer sails
through it property on the Pacific coast

OTHER BENwOOD NOTES

The funeral of the late A. L. Policy was
one of the largest ever held in Benwood.
The services were held yesterday at half
past twelve o'clock in the BenwoOd NJ. e.
church, and the church was filled. The
services were very impressive and were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. ]. S. Robin
son, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Ruble, of
Moundsvile, and Rev. c. l.. Clark, Rev.
b B. Evans and Presiding Elder Moore,
of Wheeling.
VIM. Collins, a Benwood man, was badly
injured yesterday at the Laughlin tin
plant, where he was employed. and was
brought home. He had stepped in a pot
of molten metal and his right leg from
the knee down was terribly burned, large
particles of flesh peeing off. His wounds
were dressed at the Emergency hospital.
Chas. Schwartz was cut across the
wrist at the Riverside yesterday. Anoth-
er employee had his arm badly burned.
Nothing new has occurred in the strike
at the Riverside and it is likely that there
may not be a settlement for some time,
as advantage is being taken of the shut
down to make extensive repairs IN the
steel works.
The lower steel works resumes this
morning.

Yesterday just about u o'clock, a stran-
ger attacked Mrs. George Neidemyer, of
Boggs' Run, in the tunnel. opposite the
Riverside mill at Benwood, and after rob-
bing her made a hendish attempt TO raw
ish her.
Mrs. Neidemyer had been to Benwood
and was on her way home through the
tunnel. This tunnel was formerly
stone quarry and penetrates the hill at the
Riverside thus saving considerable dis
lance to residents of Boggs' run in coming
from and going TO their homes. In the
center of the tunnel it Is very dark and
Mrs Neidemyer was carrying a lighted
torch to pick out her way. Just about the
center of the tunnel she met a
stranger, who Immediately knocked the
torch from Mrs. Neidemyer's hand and
left them in the darkness. The wretch
dragged the defenseless woman into an
ante-room at the side of the tunnel, and
in spite of her pleadings attempted to ac-
cornplish his vile purpose. Mrs. Neide-
myer is about % years of age and only
recently was confined in the hospital. AL
tt ough delicate she struggled bravely to
defend herself and did so successfully.
She offered her pocket book to her assail-
ant, and all she had, if he would let her
go, but he refused and threatened to dash
her brains out if she made an cutlery.
She screamed for help, however and
scared the wretch away. He ran out the
west end of the tunnel and went down
along the B. & o. railroad tracks through
Benwood, toward the Junction. He took
with him Mrs. Neidemyers umbrella, a
couple of bundles she had, and it is al
legged he also took a couple of finger
rings she wore.
Coming out of the tunnel Mrs Neide-
myer met Chas. White a neighbor. She
was in great distress and her clothes
badly torn. Mr.. White gave the alarm
and in few minutes the entire police
force and large portion of the male pop
ulation of Benwood was on the hunt of
the villain. The husband of the woman
was in the lead, armed with a base ball
bat. There is hardly any doubt that if
he had been captured he would have been
killed without much ceremony. The Of
ficers tracked him as far as the junction
and there lost the trail. He was said to
have been last seen talking to several
railroad employees at the Junction, and
soon after reports came to Benwood that
he had been captured. The officers, how
ever, returned to town empty handed.
Mrs. Niedemyer did not know her as
sailant, but says she would be able to
identify him Immediately II she saw him
again. She described him as a large man
in size and about six feet tall. wore
soft brown hat and had a sandy mus
tache. Mrs. Niedemyer was not injured
during her terrible experience but sus-
tanned a great shock. If her assailant is
caught he will very likely get a taste Of
southern justice as every person in Ben
wood strongly sympathizes with Mrs
Niedemyer and would gladly take hand
in giving him what he deserves. Mrs.
Niedemyer is a respectable woman and
highly esteemed. She is the mother of
three children. Her husband has a small
farm on Boggs' run.

I'VE are quite ready for active opera

authorities at Madrid are aware that a
Carlist rising is imminent and that it
will be successful. We are immensely
strong in many parts of Spain and so soon
as the truth of the cowardly surrender at
Santiago de Cuba percolates, our forces
will be greatly increased.

fculties we have been Swallowed day and
