A Teacher Near Burlington
Leads a Strenuous Life.
Has Several Narrow Escapes
from Death Recently.
MASKED MIN BEAT HIM
Held Up En- Route Home from
His Days LabOrs.
Latest Attempt Was House
Filled With Gas.
MASKED MFN BEAT HIM

Burlington, Dec. 1.-The Jeffersonian
says:
Cecil Bowman. teacher at Hopewen
school district west of town, has had
several narrow escapes from death at
hand of some unknown assassin and is
now confined to his bed northwest of
town as the result of the attempt
Mr.. Bowman went to the school house
Thursday morning as usual before 8
o'clock to get ready for the days work.
When he opened the door he was over
come by formaldehyde gas and fell to
the floor where he lay until he was
found by the pupils on their arrival at
school an hour later He was uncon-
scious for more than an hour after be-
ing taken to a neighboring house. DR..
McMullen was sent for and gave him
necessary attention. Thursday Mr. Bow
man was unable to see at all, but Fri
day could see the outline of his fathers
hand as it passed before his eyes.
The attempt at murder was a das-
tardly one. Had Mr.. Bowman got in
side and closed the door, death would
have been the certain result.
The school directors and Mr.. Bowman
are in the dark as to who could have
any motive for trying to kill him. The
school has been running along nicely
and without trouble, and no cause given
anyone to harm him.
Several attempts have been made to
kin him. Friday night, November 20, as
Cecil was going home from the school
house to his home on Otter creek he was
set upon by a masked man about a mile
and a half from home and nearly killed.
He was struck twice upon the head
with a club or billy. Both Of the blows
were glancing and struck his hat which
broke their force. The second blow
knocked him down and he rolled under
a barb wire fence and his as5ailant,
who was on horseback rode on. Bow
mans glasses were broken and the side
of his head badly bruised.
November 10 the school house was en-
tered and the organ destroyed and con-
siderable other damage done. Sunday night
November %, the school house was
again entered and Mr.. Bowman's books
destroyed.
