THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD
ASSAULTED BY NEGRO
Prisoner Under Strong
Guard at Seventh Precinct.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY
Andrew Holland Charged With Heinous
offense-Police Feared Attempt
at Lynching.

a charge OF having assaulted three
yoar-old Annie Johnson, OF 1928 p Street
northwest. is registered against Andrew
Holland, a negro. aged twenty-one years,
OF 2611 Street northwest, under arrest
at the Seventh precinct station.
A heavy guard was placed over the
station last night 10 insure the safety
OF the prisonuer. The police were in
clined TO believe that should the crime
become generally known to the citizens
residing in the vicinity of the Johnson
home an attempt would be made to lynch
the prisoner.
The assault occurred back Of the
child's home last Tuesday. The child
told her parents, but they spoke 10 no
one Of the crime until yesterday, when
they decided to complain to the police.
Search for the Assailant.
search was at once begun for ;he
negro. The only clue to his identity was
furnished by the statement of the child
TO the effect that he had been emptying
garbage cans in the neighborhood just
before the crime was committed. This
clue was followed, and the ares. OF
Holland resulted.
In the meantime, however, the police
had picked up two other suspects. The
trio was confronted by the little girl
last evening She picked out Holland
without hesitation as her assailant. The
other suspects were then discharged
from custody.
Precautions Against Lynching.
Upon learning the details OF the as
sault and the arrest of Holland Lieuten-
ant Swindells communicated with Major
Sylvester and the latter at once directed
that a detail of six extra policemen from
other precincts be ordered TO guard the
station in case of emergency. 1t was
generally feared that a lynching part,
would be formed should the assault be-
come known 70 the residents of George
town.
Until an early hour this morning NJ
attack had been made on the station
and there was every indication that tn
news had not gone further than polic'
circles The guard will be maintained
throughout today, however. The prise
nsr denies his guilt.

 Seven People Killed.
 ST. PAUL, Minn:, Oct. 5.-St. Charles, in Winona county, has been almost completely wiped out by a tornado. Seven people were killed, and twenty eight were injured, many of them se- riously.
 The tornado struck the town from the southwest quarter and made a clean sweep through it. following al- most entirely the line of the main street and devastating buildings on each side. Then the residences far ther back. from the business center were struck and many of them blown completely away.
 The entire main street. of the town was literally wiped out, hardly a busi- ness place being left standing. Forty two residences were destroyed, and the total property damage is estimated al $1o0, 900. st#

Battle For Possession Between. Sym
 dicate and sauatters.s
 NEW YORK, Oct, 5!-Up 4in Cofun- bia county there is a very pretty little lake over which there is a great deal of trouble. It is Copake lake. Not long ago syndicate of wealthy New York men bought it. Hence the trou- ble. The syndicate claims the lake, the islands and a strip of land sixty three feet wide all along the water front. They posted notices to tres passers to get off and keep off. The people who have been using that water front-and some of them living on it. shot holes through the signs and tore them down. Meanwhile they keep on living there, just as they have been doing for years.
 For generation or two Copake lake has been sort of free domain. No owner exercised any claim to it. The neighboring farmers used it as they pleased. Then came summer visitors. They built pretty little cottages along the shore and docks for their skiffs. Nobody objected.
 Now 1t is a question of whether the people who have bought it or the peo- pie who have built and own houses there are to possess the lake.

 aged In Their Duty. l KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 5. - The Mountain brigade of the Salvation Ar my has completed it's tour of the feud district and has returned to Cincinnati after having been absent from that city since Sept. 15, travelling through the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
 l The party that reached this city in cluded Colonel R. E. Holz, Major Will liam O. Hunter, Staff Captain Boyd of 1 Cleveland, Staff Captain Escott of Cin- cinnat4, William Bassett of Cincinnati, Staff Captain Edy White of Pittsburg and Envoy E. A. Zeall of Pittsburg.
 Two hundred miles were travelled on horseback from Jackson, Breathitt county, Ky, to Norton, Va; 15,Oo0 per- sons were addressed, 250 conversions took place, and the conditions of the people of this section were studied from the standpoint of their moral, re- Iigious and peculiar beliefs as to feuds, so that a. remedy can be recommended. 1t is believed by those in the party that the trip has been success in every sense of the word.
 On leaving Cincinnati the party took a train for Winchester, Ky, where services were held in the street. Jack son was reached the same evening. Jackson has no street lamps, and there was no sign of animation. Cap- tain Longmeir of the provost guard the town being under martial law-ac- companied the party to the courthouse, where the soldiers were camped, and they went into the courthouse and prayed for the success of the work and their safety. The spot on which they knelt in prayer was the one where J. B. Marcum fell with his heart pierced by an assassin's bullet.
 The brigade went into the streets and held an open air service. sCftizens turn ed out en masse, but stood off some dis tance until the soldiers asked them to come nearer! It was different from what the citizens had expected The singing of martial songs and the play ing of sweet music gave them such in spiration that many joined in the serv- ices h'e-.s S.
