A telephone message was received al

fax county, today, requesting the officers
to look ont for a young colored man
who. it was said, was on his way to this
city and who vas charged with attempt.
ing to assault two little white girls while
on their way to school, near Annadale,
this morning. Officer Henderson at
once started over the Duke street road
to look for the man, and when he reached
Mr.. Clinton Ballenger's store in West
End found him. Mr.. Ballenger had
also been requested to look out for the
man and shortly thereafter the latter
reached the store on wagon and was
in the act of jumping thereirom when
Mr.. Balenger seized him and held
him until Officer Henderson arrived:
The officer took the man in charge ana
brought him to the station house III TINS
city, where he gave his name as hooeI'
Proctor and his age as IL years. nc
denied the charge, saying he knew no'h-
inc about the affair. One of the girls,
however rs brought TO the station
house this evening aud she fully identl-
fed Proctor as the assailant.
II appeared that the two girls, ROBBIE
Burns and Else Smarr, aged Z and 9
respectively, were going TO school this
morning when they were met on the
road by Proctor who, by the way, had
been released from The Fairfax Jail on
Wednesday, having been confined there
Tor an assault on a colored girl named
Berkeley. Proctor told the girls
to put down the basket they were
carrying and go into the woods with
him. They refused, when Proctor drew
a pistol and threatened TO shoot them.
They began 10 shrek when their cries
were heard by Mr.. Munich, who evas
coming down the road and who fastened
to their assistance. Proctor, seeing that
he had been discovered, ran of and was
soon lost in the woods. The authorities
of Fairfax we're at once notified and tele-
phone messages were sent out in all
directions to apprehend Proctor and his
arrest soon followed.
Officers from Fairfax are expected here
this evening to take Proctor back to that
county.
