PROTECTS ERASSAILANT
COLORED GIRL, BADLY HURT, RE-
FUSES TO DIvULGE HIS NAME.
Condition II So Serious that Police
Refrain from observation-disclosures
Kept Affair Secret.

Pearl Cornell, a nineteen-year-old co1ored
girl, living at No. 1918 North West street,
was stabbed in the left side yesterday aft
ernoon by a person whose identity she re-
fuses to reveal to the police. Last night
Patrolman Winn learned of the stabbing
and called at the home Of the Cornell girl.
He found her in bed. suffering greatly from
her injuries, which had been dressed by
some physician but an hour or so before.
On being questioned, she said that she
would not divulge the name of the doctor
who dressed the wound nor would she tell
who stabbed her or where the stabbing was
done. In fact, she absolutely refused to an
swer questions asked her by the officers of
the law, stating that tonight she might tell
them all about it If she felt so inclined. Her
object, she admitted. in refusing to tell who
stabbed her was to give her antagonist
plenty of time in which to leave the city.
and the doctor. she said. she would protect,
as he had been kind enough to dress her
wounds without reporting the affair to the
police.
1t is believed by the patrolmen that the
stabbing took place In a saloon near the
home of the unfortunate girl, but the lips
OF the saloon keeper and all the frequenters
OF his place were sealed. AT a nearby
drug store it was found that the girl had
purchased a large quantity of adhesive
plaster. but the clerk who sold 1t to her
said that he did not even know she was
injured in any way when she made the
purchase.
The girls condition was so serious last
night that 1t was not possible for the police
to question her severely. Several times
while talking TO them she became uncon-
scious. The deed was evidently that of
some man for whom she has a great
amount of affection, and her grit in keep
ing the name of her ~assailant a secret is
admired by the police. although it places
them at a great disadvantage. 1t is not
thought that the wound will be fatal, and
as soon as her condition will permit she
will be arrested and taken to the police
station, and an effort will then be made
to learn who it was that stabbed her, un-
less his name is learned before that time.

Perhaps no one in Indianapolis hears so
many little tragedies as Judge Stubs, of
the Juvenile Court. Day after day cases
of girls and boys, under the ages of four
teen. and sixteen, are brought before him
for disposition, and the past two weeks
nave brought out unusual stories.
The most interesting case that has been
dealt with in the past two weeks was that
of William Spacyek, a lad fifteen years old,
who was arrested some time ago for loiter-
ing. He is a Londoner by birth, but his
home until three years ago was in Mont
real, Canada. Soon after the Spacyek
family moved to Canada the father died.

out means. William developed a great
liking for horses. especially race horses,
and as time passed he finally made up his
mind to be a stable boy. Unable to secure
any employment in this line in Montreal.
he has been roaming around from one race
track to another until finally picked up in
this city. The judge, after hearing his
story, sent the lad to the Friendly Inn,
until such time as he could communicate
with the boys mother. While at the
Friendly Inn. although no restrictions were
placed upon him. William worked for his
board, and he worked so hard and earnest
ly that he attracted a great deal of atten-
ton.
MADE MANY FRIENDS.
Among those who became friends with
the boy was James Collins, who secured
him a position at the ~stockyards. opening
and shutting gates. for which he was paid
81 a week. A good boarding house was
found for the boy, and soon he was the
favorite of all the men he came in contact
with. The judge received a letter from the
mother. who said that she was unable to
send the money to bring her son home, but
that the sister lad married and was very
comfortably situated in New York. The
boy no sooner heard the news until he
wanted TO go TO see the sister, but still he
wanted TO remain working long enough TO
buy himself some new clothes, which he
needed very badly. A collection was taken
up at the s~tockyards. and after buying him
a complete new outfit ne was sent with a
load of horses TO New York. This is only
one of many runawayS that have been
caught in this city and returned to their
homes through this court.

of Lucille Schafer, who had been placed I'm

offered for Best Estimate of
Ohio's Total Vote.

Col. I. N. Walker, of Indianapolis, has
been announced as one of the winners In a
profit sharing contest offered recently by a
Cincinnati paper and will receive as his
share of the prizes s1.666.66. The contest
was for the nearest estimate of the total
votes cast for the ~gubernatorial candidates

awards were offered a~ggregating 500 900,
the conditions being that if there was a tie
in the estimates OF two or more persons for
any one of the awards the amount of the
award would be equally divided between
the two persons.
AS il happened there was a tie in the es-
Inmates for the first award, Colonel Walker
being one Of the lucky guessers. The exact
number OF total votes cast in the State al
the election was S77, 203 and the total vote
cast for Governor was SGT. $40. Mr.. Walkers
guess was &c., 7S that being, with two

FEDERAL EMPL0YE DEAD
AMOS j. BOYDEN WAS IN CHARGE OF
FEDERAL BUILDING WORK.
His Death May Delay Construction for

Amos j.. Boyden, superintendent Of con-
struction on the new federal building, died
Saturday night from uraemia. His body
was shipped to his late home in Foxboro,
Mass, last night by Kregelo. the under
taker who had charge of the remains.
Mr.. Boyden came here to superintend the
work on the federal building in May. 1902,
bringing with him his wife and a sixteen
year-old son, both of whom were present
at his death. He was known as a man OF
very peculiar views on the subject of
health, and was an ardent Christian Sci

He died without the attendance OF a
physician, depending on his religion to cure
him. He was considered a very capable
man by his employers, and Ii Is likely that

is the slave of furniture. If women
only knew how much more graceful
Ind the only way is to appeal to their
Nanity-they would be reclining on the
floor, they would never sit up on chairs
or round a table. That this is funda-
mentally true is proved by the fact
that they are never SO happy as at
picnic, where there are no chairs and
tables. 1 really believe that the craze
for putting everything on something
above the f1oor-by which l mean ta-
bles, sideboards, etc.-grew from the
custom of sleeping in ugly, cumber-
some and dirt collecting beds instead Of
on the floor. Of course the reason why
women do not sleep on the floor is be-
cause they are afraid Of beetles and
mice and other harmless things. Wom-
en-, therefore, having invented the bed,
invented the table to stand by it, and
thus spread the habit of putting every
thing above the level of the floor.

Some People
Can't Eat
Bread

Bread is reputed to be the "staff
of life" yet there are some people
who never eat bread. We allude
to this because of a curious paral-
lei fact in medicine. If even bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
-Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Vinol and
sell it on a guarantee of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all to
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. In other words,
ninety-eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value - many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. AT any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it.
You can have your money back if
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has pleasant taste, and is recon-
mended by physicians as safe
andunusually effective body-builder
and general tonic.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinors companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.
