A NEGRO SERIOUSLY ACCUSED.
James Butler Held on the Charge of
an Attempted Assault.

James Butler, a burly negro, eighteen
years old. is under arrest at the Ninth
precinct stationhouse, charged with hav-
ing attempted an assault on Mabel Hud-
low, the ten-year-old daughter of James
Hudley, carpenter living at 100 Nine
teenth Street northeast. After being
identified beyond the possibility of a mis-
take the man acknowledged that he was
the one who was wanted and he will be
given a hearing In Police Court this
morning. The attempted assault occurred
etery, some distance from the home of
the little girl. She and her little brother,
Charles. several years her Junior, were
approached by the negro some distance
beyond Graceland Cemetery and asked If
they wanted him to show them where
they could get all OF the peaches and
pears that they wanted. They unsuspect-
ingly accompanied him to nearby
woods, where he attempted liberties with
the little girl who screamed for help. The
negro lis then said to have pulled a re-
volver and threatened to kill her If she
made any further cutlery. Her little
brother also called for help and the negro
took to his heels and escaped.
The police were given an excellent de-
scription of the men. Shortly before
o clock Policeman Batson located him and
sent him to the Ninth Street station.
where he was locked up after he had been
identified by Mabel and her brother. He
and Miss Bertha Stewart as the man
who was seen to run from the~woods at
the time the assault is said to have been

A FIRE MYSTERY UNsoLvED.
Detectives Working on Two Stimuli
tancOus BIaxes in One House.


As a result of the reports of Fire Chiefs
Belt and Wagner that there were two
distinct fires at 7U7 Twelfth Street north
west Sunday night, one in the office of
Dr. ]. w. Stewart and the other in
back room on the third floor, an investi-
button and Major Sylvester. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire was of incendiary
origin, and it is the purpose of the officers
of the several departments to place re-
sporsibility for the flames, ii such exists.
Precinct Detective Herndon yesterday
spent considerable time on the case and
discovered that two friends of Or.
Stewart called at the house during the
absence of the occupants, and finding the
front door open, entered and waited for
a while for the doctors return, but, be-
coming tired, left some minutes before
the fire was discovered. 1T is said that
they are inveterate cigarette smokers
and that Ii is possible that q spark from
their cigarettes may have set fire to the
office This however, does not explain
the flre which started simultaneously on
the third foor, and which lends color to
the belief that the fires were the work
OF an incendiary.
Chief Dutton of the Fire Department
yesterday sent letter to the members of
Chemical Company No ! congratulating
them upon the excellent work they did
in handling the fire. Although the fire
this one company quickly had it under
control and it was not necessary for any
of the other engine companies to be
called into service.

THE OLIVER.

The success Of Ernest Seton Thomp
son on the lecture platform has been
phenomenal. During the past season
he has spoken twice day in order to
comply with the demand for his SER
vices. Everywhere crowded houses
have welcomed him, and always, on
afternoon occasions. the greater portion
OF the audience has been children. The
charm Of Seton -Thompson's art is in it's
simplicity, it's novelty and the flavor Of
the forest which he imparts to all his
descriptive work. Whether he is ana
lying the tracks of the hare, initiating
the challeDgs to battle Of the bull elk,
or repeating the mockipg bark of the
pin gopher, he is all the time carrying
bis audience farther back from the foot
bills into the Rockies and getting them
nearer to the true life Of Nimrod. The
waole human family is his public, be-
cause every human being loves wild
anilals.
