A dastardly assault was made
on a young woman named Helen
Olson living in Watson Mimi.
last Thursday night by a wan
dering negro named Joseph
Scott. The girl is in a precarious
condition but hopes are enter
tanned for her recovery. She
was struck several blows with
an ak.
Scott was captured near Milan
and placed under guard and
taken to Montevideo on the train.
It was planned to confine him in
the Jail at that place, but a mob
of angry citizens met the train
and the prisoners guards we're
forced to stand on the platform
of the car with drawn revolvers
to keep the mob back. No
further difficulty was encoun-
tered in placing him behind the
bars at Glencoe. Hehas confessed
to entering the Olson home and
attacking the girl. He said that
he had to strike her in order to
insure his own escape. Scott is
suffering from a wound in the
arm, receivedin an attempt to
keep his pursuers at bay.

Some of the democratic papers
of the state have been finding
fault with Governor Herried for
not reappointing Insurance
Commissioner Shober, intimat.
ing that it was because the latter
took q positive stand in opposi-
ton to the insurance companies,
and last week the Review came
to their assistance with the same
grief. The probable fact is that
the matter had nothing whatever
to do with the appointment of a
commissioner. Mr.. Shober S
term had expired and it is not
even known that he desired
reappointment, he certainly has
not found fault with the govern
or's appointment. It is also
certain that the governor has
been as strenuous in recommend
ing proper legislation in insur.
ance matters, as Mr.. Shober has
been faithful in executing the
law. We, at least who know Mr..
John Perkins, the recent
appointee, feel that a better
appointment could not have been
made and that q faithful admins.
tration of the affairs Of the Office
will follow. And speaking Of
appointments we may here state
that Governor Herreid has beer
particularly fortunate in his
selections throughout his term
Of Office, one Of his latest appoint
ments being that of our fellow
citizen, W. b. Saunders, as 8
member Of the Worlds Fair
Board Of commissioners, than
whom, the people here believe
no better selection in the state
could have been made.

While the end of the post
off ce investigation is said to
be in sight the overhauling is
still going on systematically and
vigorous. Drafts and checks
are being traced. Grand Juries
of the different cities are hearing
witnesses and now and then new
charges develop against already
implicated officials. All in all it
looks as though thorough SAM
tary methods were being
employed to cleanse the foul
hole.
