last Wednesday morning by the
news of another midnight assault
in the very heart oi the residence
portion Of town. Between the
hours OF II and o'clock last
Tuesday night an unknown man
assaulted Miss Nellie Pearce in
her home on Ration avenue, leav-
ing her insensible and in . very
pecarious condition. The brute
in human form is still At large,
and there is not . trace as to his
indemnity.
Miss Pearce was awakened
shortly after midnight by hearing
some one moving about in the
room adjoining. and asked il any
thing was wanted. The unknown
man replied, "Nothing. dear. :"
advancing toward her at the same
time and seizing her by the throat
before she could make an outcry.
There were five gentlemen board
ers IN the house at the time, some
OF whom had not retired, but none
OF them knew what had happened
until r. w. Patterson heard MISC
Pearce's cry Of distress and alarm
ed the household. Officers were
summoned Immediately and Sheriff
Barr, UndersheriH Steward. and
Marshals Zickeioose and Frank
lin reached the house about
o'clock. Miss Pesrce could give
no description Of her assailant,
aud there was not the semblance
of a clew to work upon. Sheriff
Barr decided to telegraph to Canon
City for the bloodhounds. but
learned that it would be impossi-
BILE for the dogs to reach La Junta
before GAS Wednesday night.
The fiend made his exit from
the house by the rear door, leav-'
ing bloody finger marks along the
walls in guiding himself out in the
darkness. and blood upon the
doorknob. In order to preserve
the scent for the bloodhounds the
back yard was roped of and the
ground was covered with damp
gunny sacks.
j. c. Burghsrt, deputy warden
at Canon City. arrived with the
bloodhound on the GAS train,
and he was Immediately taken TO
the scene Of the assault and placed
upon the trail OF the culprit. The
dog did not hesitate an instant, go
ing out OF the back gate and south

and bayed. The stable was
searched but nothing found. The
dog was then led around the stable
and again picked up the trail. go
ing down the arroyo to the stone
quarry, east to Rev. Sheppard's
place, north between the lake and
Kiigore's to the road, east to the
angle road leading to the Columbia
school building, where the trail
was LOST in the road just south.
The chase was given up about 8
o'clock in the morning and the
dog Jailed to take up the trail the
next day.
The affair is still wrapped in
mystery, and the officers have not
a clew to work upon. Several
parties have been investig ated and
examined. but not q single thing
has developed that would int rim

Paul kuntz. a Chicago man, who has
extensive interests IN the south, II

solution of the labor problem in the

lies in the substitution Of monkeys
for the negro.
Thus far Mr.. ISuntz's pans only looh

can be so trained as &c make the
most efficient Eird of cotton-pickers.
They can not only pick as well as the
negro. but they can pick twice as much
in q given time. There are other adj
vantaSes attendant upon their en-
ployment. One is that they will not
demand wages, and this item will be
en- immense advantage to the planter.
Neither will they form labor unions.
and the union principle that is gaining
foothold among the negroes is not
encouraged on the big plantations.
Mr.. kuntz derives his knowledge. OF
monkeys from observation Of them in
Africa, Of which country he Is ma

can be trained to do the work in the
cotton fields that he now has large
consignment of them on the way from
that country. which he proposes to
employ On cotton plantation which
he owns. He says that his experience
has demonstrated to his satisfaction
that the monkey can be trained to
