little less for horses. The demands of
the British and ravages of charbon will

ASSAULTED A GIRL
AND WERE SWEATED
Negroes Suffer at the Hands
of a Kansas Mob.
THEY FAILED TO OWN UP

Nevertheless the Authorities Feel Com
vinced That They Outraged Miss
Grace Davis, and 1t Is Probable They
viii Be Lynched.
KANSAS CITY, July 13.--Roberts and
Holland, the negroes whom a mob tried
to reach at the county Jail last night for
assaulting Miss Grace Davis, were
'''sweated early this morning. While
neither admitted completely in the
crime, the officers feel convinced by
their actions that they are the guilty
men. Maupin, the third arrest, is now
believed to be the leader of the trio. 1t
is believed the guilt of the men has been
determined.
Another attempt is likely again to.
night to mob the county Jail and lynch
the men. Marshal Maxwell has taken
every precaution to protect the men.
Mob Is Outwitted.

Jail. Roberts and Holland were sup
posed to have been spirited away from
the city last night, but it developed this
morning that they had simply been
taken into tunnel running from the
Jail to the courthouse across the street
and kept there until the excitement
died down. The mob dispersed before
daylight, and the men were returned to
their cells
Further Trouble Feared.
Maupin, it is believed, will be ar
raigned during the day, when trouble
may result. II possible, he will be taken
before Miss Davis today to see if she can
Identify him. She has already partially
identified Roberts and Holland, who,
she says, held her while the third man
committed the assault.
Maupin has served time in the county
Jail and at one time was a "trusty."
Roberts has served time i'll the peniten-
tiary.
Reward Is Offered.
Governor Dockery has offered a re-
ward of 5000 each for the arrest of the
assailants of Miss Davis.
The 13 men arrested last night for in
citing riot were fined $5 each III police
court this morning and released. The
charges against them were disorderly

Roberts and Holland were arraigned
late yesterday, and their preliminary
trial has been set for July %.
