Mrs. NJ. Saxon, Living Near Colfax,
Suffering From Injuries Indicted

COLFAX. Jan. 23.-The sheriff's investi-

southwest of Colfax, disclosed the fact
that it was not a burglary, but an as

Mrs Saxon fully recovered her senses,
which was not until late Sunday after
noon, she told the story of the assault.
Shortly after midnight Sunday. she
says. she heard some one enter the room
in which she was sleeping with her lit

seized her by the throat; at the same
time" choking her, and apparently feel

pom. Mrs. Saxon says, she struggled des--
perately, striking at the mans face, and
endeavoring to tear his hands away from
her throat, but does not think she marked
him in any way. Finally, for z moment;
screamed for help. Apparently her as
sailant recognized her voice, as he at once
loosed his hold, sprang back and ran from

on the lower floor, and a minute or more
elapsed before one of the older boys ran

on recovering remained conscious only
long enough to say, He choked me-"
pointing to her throat, which was torn
and swollen, with the marks Of the fin
gers plainly visible. The shock and her
failure and for several hours her death
was momentarily expected.
No motive for the attempted assassina-

the assault. is a woman of mature years,
who so far as known has not an enemy.
She is known throughout her neighbour
