walking on North Pasadena avenue, near
Walnut street, when a man stepped up to
him, saying, "I want you." or words to
that effect. Downing knows the city Of
ficials pretty we'll, and was sure that the
man was not an officer. He felt more GER
tain of this when the man hit him over the
head with a club. The young man then
took to his heels and escaped without other
injury than sore Uranium. From the fact

hour after Mr.. Orr and Miss Basore had
been attacked, it is presumed that the
same ruffian figured in both instances. The
motive for his murderous actions is mys-
terry.
