bruises show on her limbs. and she had
a cut on her lip.
The little girls plight was discovered
BY r Keefer. He caller. E. L. Dinpiiek.
and together they carried the child to-
drug store nearby. She was removed
from there to the receiving hospital. ano
restored to consciousness. She explained
her condition by saying:
MY aunt. Mrs. McC1oud, sent me about
TO o'clock tonight TO a grocery block
or two away. I had bought some pickles
and returning home, when tall
man, wearing long black ove-coat, ard
with a black cloth over his face. threw
something IN my eyes which blinded me.
The next thing I remember was when
the man threw me into n wagon. He
hurt my back / forgot everything then,
and when 1 woke found myself in the
wagon The man dragged me our, and
began shaking and beating me. i tried
to cry, but he stuffed my mouth with &
handkerchief He then tied my hands
and feet, and threw me into the vacant |
lot where j was found. He took tie |
pickles had bought. Then he threw |
some more of the stuff in my face that !
made me unconscious, and did not re-
member any more"
Mrs. McCloud, the girls aunt, said that
the girl was very truthful. and often
went on errands for her at tina. time in
the evening. She always carried a heavy
cine with her, and Flossie says that the
man took this cane away from her and
beat her with IT. The aunt cannot i'm
agine why the child was attacked, but
hazarded the statement that perhaps
some enemy of Policeman MCCioud's had
made the assault for revenge.
The police regard the assault as tie
act OF a mailman.
