Word was received here yesterday
afternoon from Carlsbad that an
unknown mulatto tramp attacked
Mrs. George Lucas at her home in
Carlsbad Saturday afternoon at $50
O'Clock and attempted to kidnap her
baby. 1t seems that the negro call
ed at the back door of the residence
of Mrs. Lucas and asked for some
thing to eat. Mrs. Lucas vas pre-
pairing supper and informed the ne.
gro that she did not have anything
cooked.
At this point the nefor rushed in
to the kitchen and struck Mrs. Lu-
cas- On the head with a blunt instru-
ment. ~inficting a ugly wound over
the left eye. After the murderous at
tack the negro grabbed Mrs. Lucas
baby and rushed out of the building.
Mrs. lucas was not rendered neon
scious by the blow and her screams
caused the brute to drop the child
on the porch. The negro made his
escape and a posse of men was
formed and secured the country, but
at the last advices he had not been
apprehended. Sheriff Stewart sent
men twenty miles in different direc-
tions to watch the trains and also
telegraphed the descriptio of the ne
gro in all directions. l.. ]. Beard

time of the attack and says excite
ment ran high and that if the negro

tempt to assault Mrs. Lucas and his
motive in attempting to kidnap the
child is unknown.

a QUEER c1nculr prcIs,oN

The United Stat es circuit court of ap.
peals at New York has writ itself down
largely. mn 81. a dealer in New York
brought suit against the tobacco trust
because il refused to sell it's goods
to him unless he would
contract to buy no goods from
its competitors. AS he would not enter
into this contract he found his trade
greatly injured. Under the provisions
OF the antitrust law, any mar finding
himself thus damaged in property or
business may sue for treble the amou nj
OF his loss. Tho circuit court Of New
York decided against him and gave this
curious reason: @The tobacco company
and its competitors were not dealers in
articles OF prime necessity, rs corn or
veal, nor were they rendering public or
quasi.public service, like a railroad
company. Each OF them, therefore,
bad the right to refuse TO sell its COM
molities at any price

TRIP UNSUCCESSFUL.
Treasure Hunter Fails to Find the
Riches He Was Looking For.
New York Man Travels 10000 Nilss.
hut Says His Journey Was Not
entirely in vain-Story of
Buried Treasure.

Former Alderman George w. Sutton.
Of New Rochelle. N. Y. is RECALLING his
friends with yarns about the good time
lie had on his 80, 000-mile treasure hunt
Ing trip. and every one who hears the
yarns declares that the narrator. al
though he failed to find the $685. 900 coo he
was looking for. has the material In in
cidents and snapshots for a book that
will pay him back the SOS. GOO he put
into the enterprise and give him = hand
some profit into the bargain.
Sutton says he is convinced that the
tale Of the buried treasure told them by
Capt. James Brown, an aged sea rover
OF Auburn. Mass, who organized the
expedition. was a myth. Brown told SUIT
ton that In 1920. when there was a revo-
luton in Peru. all Of the national treas
ure and the gold INT silver plate OF the
churches were loaded aboard the Amer
lean schooner Black Witch and taken to
Cocos island. in the South Seas. where
they were buried. He said hat in 1887
he and Capt. Smith. OF Salem. Mass.
who was the son of the master OF the
Black Witch. went to Cocos Island In n
sailing vessel and found the treasure and
removed II to another island, where they
planted it again.
Then they went on n plratical ship and
captured some vessels bound home with
gold from Australia. On the way back TO
Australia the crew got to lighting and
all were killed or drowned except Brown
and Smith. Capt. Smith tried to kill
Brown. who shot him In self-defense and
threw the body overheard. This left
Capt. Brown the only survivor Of tho
expedition. He went to London. where
he married and then came to America.
The schooner Herman, upon which the
party made the voyage. was sold at the
Island Of Tahiti. ard the treasure hunt
.rs. consisting of Mr.. Sutton. his party,
Capt. Brown and his crew Of seven
men, returned to San Francisco by
steamer. Mr.. Sutton says that when he
left San Francisco Capt. Brown. who
S Is years old. was in Jail charged with
having assaulted the japanese cook.
Mr.. Sutton said he had n launch and
'isited many OF the South Sea islands,
:aking snapshots OF the natives and buy
ng trlnkets Of them. Il have several
Tunks filled with souvenirs Of all kinds"
