ness, but could not tell how the accident
occurred, though she said the horse had
not taken fright, and had not run away.

story Of an attempted robbery
This evening, however, Miss Kiester be-
came conscious For the first time since the
assault. She said that Miss Linkenhoker
was struck first from behind BY what
seemed TO be a towel. and that when she
looked around she saw the grinning face
