The police are investigating an at
tempted felonious assauls by a negro
on young Polish woman. recently
married, who lives at No. 233 Nancy
street. a small thoroughfare between
East and West Liberty streets. in the
Eleventh ward. The woman is Mrs.
Teahla Samluk and the assault is al
legged to have occurred on Thanksgiv-
ing night.
According to the victims story Of the
attack, she was in the clubhouse in the
yard of her home when the man who
afterward attempted to assault her
raped at the door. She paid no at
tention at the time thinking the per-
son was some other member Of the
family. When the man knocked again,
however she became alarmed but made
no outcry. She waited for some time,
and not hearing any further noise on
the outside opened the door,
AS the woman did this she was seiz-
ed by her assailant and forced back.
She then screamed and the ruffian has
tilv placed his hand over her mouth.
she bit his fingers and with howl
of pain the negro let go his hold The
woman then fought away from him.
The rest of the family had by TINS
time been reused and ran TO Mrs. Sam
lluks assistance The negro, however,
fled and was chased for some distance
by several Poles, but managed to es-
cape.
A cap was found i'm the yard Of the
Samluk home yesterday morning and
is believed 10 belong to the man who
attacked the woman. II is i'm the pos
session of the police, but no clue as yet
has been found that would lead to the
idntity Of the owner Of il.
Mrs. Samluk is about 25 years of
age and has one child. She is comely
and the attempted assault on her cre-
ated much excitement in the Polish
colony. and in consequence there is a
strained feeling between them and tbs
colored people.

like going out and wrecking revenge
on the high financiers instead OF walt
