IARBoR NOTES.
The Llgh thouse Board having re-
fused to approve the recommendation
of the United States Engineer and In
spector of the district for the lighting
of Norfolk harbDr from Hampton
Roads to Primers Point by gas buo9s.
which was estimated TO cost $4,000,
there is q prospect that the Norfolk
Transportation Association, BOARD OF
Trade and other business bodies Will
ask the Lighthouse Board to reconsider
their action and order that the harbor
be lighted. The cost of the improve
ments is regarded as trining when the
urgent need OF DIT is considered, and the
benefit 1t will be Is understood a joint
meeting of the business organizations
which shall take action in the matter
is mooted. The Board has decided to
put n fog horn on the old Lnmber.'s

MOST VICIOUS CRIME
Hubbartt Tells the Detailed Story
of His Attack by a Negro.
HIS ASSAILANT IN JAIL Af4,ANCASTER
Positively Identified by Chief of Police
Williams Yesterday-Negro Would
Have Killed HnDbartt Had He
Not Had Razor.

From Mondays Daily.
The man who was arrested at Lam
caster, Mo-, Saturday, on the charge Of
assaulting Eliza Hubbart, who is now
lying at the Ottumwa hospital from
the effects of his wounds, was yester-
day unquestionably identified by Chief
i of Police II. C. Williams, and will be
brought to Ottumwa for trial as soon
as the necessary papers can be secured
from Des Moines. Requisition papers
were sent for this morning and will
probably be here this evening, and the
alleged vicious assaulter of Hubbart,
will be in Ottumwa by tomorrow night.
Nh. Hubbart was able to give an ex-
cellent description of the man who as
saulted him. This he told Chief of
Police III. c. Williams, who went to
Lancaster yesterday morning and pos
itiyely identified the man. An infor-
nation was filed against him, and he
is now in the hands of the authorities
at Lancaster awaiting the arrival of
the necessary papers to bring him
from Missouri into Iowa. He gives the
name of Adams, and says he has been
in Ottumwa often. Chief Williams
said he was about the worst used up
negro that he ever saw, and that iudg-
ing from his appearance, must have
been engaged in a most vicious fight
with Hubhart. Adams admits having
left Ottumwa on the Wabash Thurs
day evening, but says that he
was the one who was assault
ed and robbed. He says that the
robbery occurred about five miles out
of the city at point where the train
was running very slowly on account of
a steep grade. Two men struck him,
he says, and knocked him from the car,
following UP the assault and finally Sc
curing all the money he had, which
amounted to SIT. He claims that af-
ter the encounter with the men he
boarded a freight train and was put off
at Glenwood, where he received medi-
cal aid. As will be seen by the state
ment Of Hubbartt which follows, he
used a razor in self defense when he
was assaulted by She negro, and judg-

"A pretty lawn social was given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Amsbaugh at their

ing from the statement of the physi-
clan to whom Adams went for assist
ance Friday morning, came near u.s.
ing it with deadly effect. There was
deep cash in his cheek which extend
ed to the jaw bone, and one of his
hands was slashed in horrible man
ner. The physician said that if he had
gone two hours longer he would have
succumbed from the loss of blood. He
had pocket handkerchief stuffed in
the wound in his face, and when the
physician went to his door the fellow
was on his knees praying.
Mr.. Hubbartt, who is recovering
nicely from his wounds, was seen by a
Courier reporter at the hospital this
morning, and gave the following YER
Gat:m account of the affair, which will
give a faint idea of the viciousness of
the encounter:
Hubbartt's Story.
II came to Ottumwa Thursday af-
ternoon, and arrived here on the Wa
bash freight at 2:3O. came to get
some medicine for the hay fever, a
disease from which I am suffering. /
had been working for John Gray, a
farmer living near Coatsville, Mo-, just
inside the Iowa line, and could not
get the medicine there. In the even
ing went down to the Wabash depot
with the intention of going home. AS
1 was going through the yards I met
o negro. He asked me where was
going. told him down the road
about three miles. He then asked me
if had any money. I told him that
had thirty cents,-but / had little
over $500. He said had twenty cents
more than he had, and as nothing
more was said, left him and went to
the depot. When the Wabash train
that leaves here at 9:40 in the evening,
started, 1 got on the platform of the
passenger coach in the rear of the
train. When I got on I noticed the
negro on the blind baggage, but
thought nothing of it. When we were
out of the city about five miles, the
train was going very slowly, as it was
up grade. Suddenly I saw that the
negro was on the platform with me.
He said: Give me your money !
said: I havenit any, and then com.
menced yelling.
Stop your --- yelling he said
'or I'll kill YOU He then struck me
twice ON the head with the butt OF
his revolver. reeled and fell off the
platform and down the embankment
It took some time before regained my
senses, and when did I started tc
go up to the track, and then saw
the negro again coming toward me. He
then told me to throw up my hands
and let him search me. I refused tc
do this and then we came together
and during the struggle he shot at me
twice. Finally he hit me again with
the butt of his revolver. He then
pointed it at me and made me walk
| ahead of him. As we crossed a little
bridge I fell and skinned one of my
legs, but when I got off the bridge
started TO run. He shot three times
but missed me each time. The fourth
shot ha- got mesin the leftahand .nne

him of the trouble and got two men
to bring me to Ottumwa, for which I
paid them $1.50."
Mr.. Hubbart described the negro as
"a medium sized man, saddle colored,
and his language very gruff. He said
he could identify him. Hnbbart is a
young man 81 years old, and has al
ways been farmer. His mother is
dead, and his father, who lives near
Coatesyille, made him go away from
home, because he could not get along
with his stepmother. He has been
staying with friend in that vicinity
for the past ten months, but at the
| time of the accident he was employed
as harvest hand for a John Gray,
near Gainesville, in Iowa.
John Law Assaulted.
John Law, residing at the corner of
Green and Fourth streets, was assault
ed by some unknown person on Church
street last night, about 1920 o'clock,
and sustained serious injuries about the
head, from the effect of a blow from n
brick bat. The incident occurred on
the west side of the street Just south
OF the approach to the Market street
bridge. Law, when seen this morning,
said that he was standing there in COM
pany with three other young people,
when party of men crossed the
bridge. He said they were boisterous,
as II they might be under the influence
OF liquor, and that when they reached
point opposite from that where he
and his friends were standing, they
started across the street and without
any warning, one of them threw the
brick which struck Law. The perpeta-
tors of the deed then ran south on
Church street, and were soon out of
sight and no one in Laws party can
identify them. The effect of the blow
which Law sustained, was a slight
fracture Of the skull just back of the
right ear, and badly bruised organ
of hearing. His friends placed him on
the first north bound car and assisted
him home. DR.. A. O.saNilliams dressed
the wound, which, had At been frac-
ton of an inch deeper, would have re-
suited fatally. AS it is, Law will be ont
in few days.
