 forpau KDiohf

Samuel A. Knight, Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of California, announced yesterday that he had sent his resignation to the Attor- ney General of the United States at Washington. His term would expire in March of next year, but MT. Knight thinks that the present is good time to get out of the office and engage in the law business. he having formed a partnership with J. A Cooper of Mendocino, and they will establish their office in this city.
 MT. Knight was appointed first assistant to United States Attorney Charles A. Garter five years ago by Attorney Gen eral Olney. Garter resigned in November, 1894, and MT. Knight was temporarily ap- pointed United States District Attorney by Supreme Justice Field. He served in that capacity until February 2S, 1895, when Henry s. Foote was appointed United States Attorney, and MT. Knight resumed his old position as assistant under the act of May 2S, 1896.
 MT. Knight handled several important cases for the Government, among them being the prosecutions of the railroad strikers of 1894, he having drawn up the papers for calling out the Federal troops under General Graham; the Tapioca case, the North Bloomfield mine litigation, the steel rail cases and the prosecution of the Emerald smugglers.
 Bert Schlesinger, the Deputy United States Attorney, will resign in about two months as he desires to solicit the nomi- nation for one of the Superior Judgeships.

VICTIM OF A BRUTE.
A LADY ASSAULTED NY A NEGRO
At ENNIS.
Mob Gathered To Deal out Justice,
hut Officers Took the Pris-
Oner to Dallas.

Ennis, Texas. June ga negro last
night committed criminal assault upon a
lady at the Bardwell hotel in this city.
The negro forced an entrance to the lady's
room and when she awoke he was stand
ing over her with a knife and threatened
death II she made an outcry. This was
about midnight.
After the fiend had accomplished his
purpose he kept her in the room and
guarded her until the time for the depar-
ture of the Central train for Dallas this
morning at s, which he boarded. He was
arrested and taken from the train between
this city and Dallas. and later in the day
was carried to Dallas for safe keeping.
AS soon as the news of the crime spread
the greatest excitement prevailed In the
city, which has been growing more in
tense all day. II was known that the
negro had been apprehended and it was
expected that he would be brought here
on the evening train and crowd Of 400
or more enraged citizens were there to
meet It.
After 1t was discovered that he was
carried to Dallas the indignation of the
populace reached its height, and open
talk Of lynching was freely INDUCED In
and for a while 1t looked as If a train
would be chartered to carry the mob to
Dallas. A goods box was placed in the
street and speeches made by number of
citizens.
The Intervention of cooler heads seems
~,
though at this hour groups can still be
seen on the corners. II they can ever get
to the brute a lynching will surely result.
The victim is completely Frustrated by
the affair.
