Women Near Sheepshead Often At
tackled By Negroes.

Young who live at Sheepshead bay
Park near the Gravesend racetrack, Brooklyn,
are badly frightened because of the many re-
cent attempts at assault by negroes who lounge
about the racetracks.
Miss Anna Meyers. of Avenue L, near ocean
ave-, was held UP the other night by a negro as
she was about to cross the Ocean-ave. railroad
tracks. She declared that she was thrown to
the ground in the struggle, which ended when
persons living in nearby houses ran to her res
cue The man escaped. Mrs. Alma SoutheTly,
who lives Miss Meyers. also had I'M
pleasant experience with colored few
days before the Meyers incident.
A number of residents. among whom Emil
Herman. OF Avenue L and Twenty-frst-st., say
they will keep a close watch on the neighbor-
hood. in which less than twenty attacks on
women are said TO have been committed in the
last few weeks. With the reopening of the

return, and the more timid women fear to leave
their homes after dark without escort.
Houses have also been entered by the negroes.
