Peachtree road, near Atlanta, was as.
saulted by q negro Thursday morning.
The track hounds have been following
the negro all day, but at a late hour
Thursday night he had not been cap

search and a large posse and all mem.
bers of the county police force will
take up the hunt. There is consider.

incline on the Manhattan approach OF
the bridge a Christopher street car ran
with brakes out Of order until 1t hit
and demolished a standing Fourteenth
street car, In which were seventy. five
passengers. In the latter car most OF
the injuries occurred. 1t was ten min.
utes before the broked roof, sides and
floor of this car could be taken of from
the last passenger, who was buried
under the wreckage. John Holden,

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.

Men Who Att mpted Assault. OIL Lady
May Be Hold.Ups.
Dan Slocun, the member Of the
gang of feather r%enovators arrested
for attempting to assault q Miss Pad.
gott near Columbia recently, waived
preliminary before a magistrate, and
Slocum was sent to jail in default OF
bail. He has employed no attorney 80
far. No evidenceNwas given, and 1t is
difaoult to get at the details Of the
alleged assault.
1t appears from what can be learn
ed Of the affair that Slocum and three
Of his companions found Miss Padgett
alone at her fathers home, and that
Slocum grabbed her, when she scream.
ed. The strangers vanished and the
neighborhood was soon out searching
for them but it was a sherif's officer
who caught them.
Slocum's pals are being held as sus-
poets. They all claim to be working
for the National Renovation Company
of Chic; 20, and cannot be run in for
v~agrancy. But it Is thought that some
light might be thrown on the series OF
hold ups the city has witnessed the
past few weeks by holding them.
Tuesday night A. Z. F~underburk, a
we'll known furniture dealer, saw 3
we'll dressed white man standing under
some trees near Trinity church, ap.
| parently waiting for him as he ap.
preached. He called to the man, who
gave no answer. He asked a negro
nearby for a revolver and the man
under the trees taking fight Mr.. Fun
derburk and the negro gave chase. In
q short time halt 3 dczsn police cficers
had arrived, but the fug tive had es'
capped through a vacant lot. But this
is not an unusual Incident. Some pro-
minent ColumbianS have been suhjec-
ted to this sort Of thing almost every
night for the past three weeks.
There are many wild stories going
over the town about these hold-ups
One is that a few nights ago a we'll
known Columbian being held up shot
the hold.up man severely, and that
the supposed thug has turned out to
be himself q prominent Columbian,
and that his wounds are being cared
for in secret, the matter being hushed
I'D on account of bis name. or course,
there is nothing in the story but wind,
but In the nature OF 1t 1t Will not
down. Another, in which there Is jn t
about as much truth, carries the men,
DRY of graft and bold.up. This story
Is to the effect that the hold-up genius
operating about Columbia has gotten
hold of Digenese and taken his lantern
away from him the hold-up occurring
n the shadow Of the state dispensary
walls.

Burglars early Wednesday morning
blew open the safe in the bank OF
Ridgev.lle, ar stole Sc. 600, and after
a running battle with a posse OF citizens
In which the cashier and two citizens
we're wounded the burglars escaped.
For more than an hour the town was
practically at the mercy OF the rob-
bers, who openly walked the streets
shooting at everything, apparently
taking their time in leaving town.
Two c argos of dynamite were explod.
ed before the safe gave way. A Sec
end blast aroused Cashier r. R.. Ran
som, who ran into the street. As soon
as be appeared the robbers opened
fire. This aroused other citiz:ns. There
were seven in the cracksmen's party.
