ssT CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 1s 1905
Second Assault in One Week.


 Die experience with a negro fiend at her home in Little Rock. and that she was not killed was due to her pluck in defending herself from tho scoundrefs brutal assaults Mrs. Crlttenden was sitting in her room rocking her infant to sleep, when, at o;30 D. m. she heard the front door open. Thinking it was her husband returning from his days work. she placed her baby on the bed and started to meet him, but was con. ffonted by burly negro The piueky woman retained her self-pos- session and asked the intruder his business. He demanded money and began search of the house. telling Mrs. Crittenden that if she made any outcry he would murder her. Watch Ing her chance, the brave woman picked up her child and tried to escape from the house. The negro sprang after her and a desperate struggle was begun between them. Mrs. Crlttenden held her baby over her right shoulder and strove to pro tect 1t and herself from the attacl; or the murderous brute, who by this time had drawn a knife. The negro was finally the victor. and commanded that his victim place her baby on the bed and sit down away from the door. Mrs. Crittenden was almost exhausted and was bleeding from several cuts on the left hand and arm. Later it was found that she was cut six times Her waist was also &orn completely off during the struggle. She remained in the chair but a few moments, when taking desperate chance, she darted to the front door and as she threw It open called for help. The negro evidently thought that he had her subdued. for that movement took him by surprise. However. he reach. ed the door just as she called out. and. throwing his weight against it, forced It shut. Mrs. Crittenden had her foot in the door and it was badly mashed. Some one passing by heard the call for help and made a reply
 lhahk God, there comes my huS- band, said Mrs. Crttenden as she sank to the floor. At the word "hus band the negro ran rapidly to the rear Of the house and made his escape.
 Mrs Cfittenden Is the second wo- man attacked by black brute in the suburbs of Little Rock within week. The citizens are up in arms, and should the guilty party be cap tured it will be hard to prevent a lynching, On the evening before the assault Mrs. Crittenden discovered the same negro on her back porch She was alone then. but succeeded in Frightening him away by calling for her husband, as though he was in the house. She will be able to iden- tify the thief if captured.
