Found Unconscious and Dies
Last Evening.
Describes the Villain and Off,
GERS Are After Him

LeavenwortK, Kas., May S.-The town
of Lansing and the surrounding cOun-
try is in a state of intense excitement
over an assault committed upon Miss
Ethel Bonnie, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Bonnie. residents of that town
The assault was committed by an un-
known white man, who accomplished
his purpose after striking the girl on
the head with some blunt instrument,
rendering her unconscious.
Tuesday morning Miss Bonnie left
home for the bluffs along the Missouri
river to gather mushrooms. While
STOPPING down she was suddenly seized
from behind, but managed to break
away from her assailant and started to
run. He overlook her and struck her
on the head, telling her to the ground.
Believing the girl to be dead the tramp
dragged her body to a. well nearby and
threw her in. The well contained twelve
feet of water and Miss Bonnie sank to
the bottom, but rose again. The cold
shock had the effect Of reviving her to
such an extent that she realized her
peril and made an effort to climb out
She finally reached the top, but was still
in dazed condition and remained sit
ting on the edge of the we'll
Not arriving home for dinner, her
parents became alarmed and began
searching for her, and after some time
she was found. still sitting on the edge
of the we'll She was then in a critical
condition, but was conveyed home, and
managed to tell the story of the assault.
The girl told her father during mo-
ment of consciousness that in attempt
ing to get out of the well she fell back
twice. When found she was in a semi
conscious condition.
Miss Bonnie described her assailant
as a man of medium height. rather
stout, wearing a full beard and dark
clothes. A man answering this descrip-
ton was seen by section hands on the
Kansas City Northwestern railroad
about $50 o'clock in the evening, going
toward Wallula- Wallula is five miles
south of Lansing. Sheriff EVerhardy,
who was notified, wired to the authori-
ties at Wallula to look out for the man.
Word soon spread throughout the
country. and citizens began gathering
and started out to look for the assailant.
Word was also sent to the city and the
sheriff and several deputies started for
the scene. Feeling is so intense that
should the man be caught he will be
probably lynched At a late hour last
evening Miss Bonnie died as the result
of her injuries. Her father, G. w.
Bonnie. is an old employee of the Kan
sas state penitentiary. and has the SYM
pathy of all the prison officials.

sA11NA WANTS SALOONS.
Commercial Club Will Ask Council to
License the Joints.

Salina, May s.-The Salina CONNER
ciaI club, at meeting last night, decid-
ed on plans for securing several new
institutions for Salina, including a
wholesale hardware house and a whole
sale drug house. The club also took up
the matter of the city's present finances
and the present liquor traffic termed
'boot-legging The two questions were
discussed at length. and it was decided
that it be expressed to the city council
at its next regular meeting that the
sentiment of the commercial club is for
high license Six saloons, with q month
" fine of 800 each, were favored.
The present system of bootlegging it
was held cannot be stopped, and the
traffic as it is at present leads to dives
and dens. Open saloons seem to be the
only remedy. and the proposition meets
with the approval of the citizens and
business men in general. Since the sa-
looms closed here Salina has been de-
prived of $40 q month in fines, and IL
ouor has been sold just the same. A
temperance mayor was elected at the
recent city election. and it is not known
what action the council will take in the
matter.
