Newport News Va, Feb. 26-Pheobus
was very much excited yesterday over
what is alleged to have been an at
tempted assault by a negro, "Nrobb''
Austin. upon the 1G-year-old daughter
OF John Parr, a wel-known citizen of
the town. The girl was standing in
the Kitchen when the negro, she
Charges, came up and threw his arms
to throw her down. She screamed
again and he fled. Officers were on a
hot trail OF him all day yesterday, but
failed to find him.
MIR. POWELL STILL MISSING.
/, Nothing has been heard of Hon. T..
L. Powell. Superintendent of Schools
and eX-member OF the Legislature
Though Mr.. Powell has been absent
over month without communication
with his friends. and though. in this
connection and in view of his public
position, his conduct is considered
cratic to say the least, it cannot be said
that any alarm Is felt here on his ac-
count. Those who know him best are
convinced that after leaving, New York
TWO weeks ago, he went to Europe. It
is known that he has long wished to
make the trip for personal reasons, and
this appears the most rational expla-
nation of his disappearance. His con-
duct in New York. from all that can be
ascertained. was that Of any other nor
NAL man.
Meanwhile, though vacancy in the
Office has not been declared. and though
his absence has never been officially
noted either by the State Board OF
Education of the local School Board,
the fight for his successor goes merrily
on. some half n dozen candidates for
the probable vacancy being in the field.
