Assailanr

Columbus, Ca, Nov. 12.-As Miss
Maude Tomblin, a young girl Is years

on North Highlands, was going to her
home on East Highlands early last

lonely part of northwest Rose Hill,
she was accosted by strange negro.
The girl ran and the negro followed.
She warned him to let her alone, say
ing her uncle, a policeman, lived in
house just a short distance ahead. He
was not frightened and ran in front
of the girl, blocking her path. She
tried to escape him by turning aside,
but he turned to the same side of the
road and kept her back. The negro
then advanced upon her, making a
desperate attack upon the girl with
the evident intention of committing
assault.
The pluclly girl drew her hat pin
and lunged it at the negro. and she
believes, stuck it in him. He struck
her in the breast and also caught her
round the neck, trying to throw her
to the ground The girl is strong for
her age, however, and resisted stoutly,
at the same time making desperate
effort to stick the negro with the pin.
Finally, alarmed by her cries, and
baffled by her stout resistance, he ran
away. He carried the hat pin, either
in his hand or sticking in his flesh,
the girl did not know. The negro was
a stranger
A posse with blood hounds is hunt

close by a spectacular and exciting
spill in which Bobbie Walthour cham

G. Bennett, pacemaker for Nelson, all
came troopers.
The quartet landed in close mass.
Walthour came from the fall with his
collar bone broken and a number OF
abrasions on his body. Nelson receiv-
cd but one cut and had his shoulder
strained. Bennett had his leg injur-

through wearing a football head dress

IN RACE FOR OFFICE
We HAVE A DOZEN.
Many Would Be Members of
Council.
POLITICS IS ALL DISCUSSION.
Candidates for Mayor, Aldermen and
Clerk Are interviewing The Boys
Election Day is Near at Hand and
Interest Growing.

1t is now just dozen days ere the
people of Americus will know which
of the dozen candidates for mayor, al
dermen and clerk will occupy seats
about the council board during the
next two years, for, "while many are
called but few will be chosen"
And this selection of five officials
will be made on Tuesday 25th.
The question is a momentous one,
and just now it is occupying the front
of the stage in the way of general dis
cussion among the voters.
The latest acquisition toNthe ranks
of sldermanic aspirants, as announced
yesterday, Messrs. Elton O. Parker
and J. A. Pinkston, put the other five
aldermanic aspirants to hustling at a
Iivlier rate than before. There are
now just seven in this class.
These are: e. c. Parker, j, a. Pink
ston, E. B Everett, Lynn Fort, Hugh
L. Mize, G. T. Sullivan and Elmo
Poole. But the list may not be closed
just yet.
Really, the aldermanic race seems
uppermost IN the public mind.
Messrs. Fielder and Hawkins, the
mayoralty candidates, are doing quiet
and effective work in their own corner
of the patch, and are allowing the 9th
er boys to do their hoeing. This is
also true of the three candidates for
clerk, Messrs. McMath, McGarrah and
T. N. Hawkes..
And in the meantime the voters are
given the glad hand on all sides.
The campaign is one in which the
entire people of the city feel keen in
terest, and this will continue to the
end. Quite number of voters have
registered for the primary, and the
list will swell to 600 or perhaps 700 ere
the date of the. election.
La the meanwhile happy, confident,
trusting smile mantles the brow of the
hopeful candidate.

ton day or two ago in the person Of
a negro whom he was about to sentence
to the changing for the theft of S.

The negro was caught red handed,
and the jury did the rest.
Judge Crisp told the negro to stand
up, and also make any statement he
desired ere the sentence of the court
was passed upon him.
Cuff knew he was a gone coonskin.
He turned the whites of his eyes at the
court and then at the jury, but there
was no hope. He had swiped the gun,
and he knew it. Rolling his eyes at
the court he finally blurted out.
"Jedge, I amt got nuthin' to say.

times for prayer, this certainly was not
