Assault TED by
ME!gRg TElMSTLR

=
Il. j. Pipkins a driver Of a min
wagon, was assaulted Sunday moRhs
ing by French McClung, a colored
man, employed as teamster by the
contracting firm of Elliot & Win
chel.
The attack on Pipkin was made
on Cain street, as he was delivering
a quart of milk to customer. As q
result of the murderous assault Pip
kin is lying at the City hospital IN
PrecaEious condition his face
IS battered out, of all senlblance to
a human visage, his jaw broken, and
the doctors have fears of the loss Of
one eye
Pipkin is a mild hammered.
peaceable man, who after several
years of struggling with hard luck
had just reached a position where
he was easy in business way. His
assistant is a strong, powerful negro
who was not known as a vicious char
acter up to the present.
What provoked the attack no one
knows, neither can it be ascertained-
Pipkinl is at a loss to explain the
occurrence, he never having seen his
assailant before.
McClung was arrested and tried
this morning at police curt. He
was technically charged with being
drunk and disorderly. he plead
guilty and was fined twenty dollars.
which is the maximum for disorder
" conduct. A warrant was sworn
out for McClung and he will be
given a trial before magistrate, as
soon as Pipkin's injuries viii per
NIT his appearing in court against
him.
From all sources of information
that can be secured this was the
most unprovoked and brutal attack
made by one man upon another, that
the criminal history of the town
catalogues. The public, both white
and colored, are greatly incensed at
the action of McClung, and unless
there can be some extenuating cir
cumstance shown the full penalty of
the law which he so richly deserves,
will be melted out to him
After knocking PiPkin down and
upon his face, McClung
said repeatedly, "I'll Kill you, "
you"
The warrant. from these remarks
will read, 'Eassault with intent to
KILL" the penalty for which is a
penitentiary sentence

BIG SALE 77If7 q
OF GOAL LAND

There is a whole lot of excite
ment among coal land owners up in
what is known as the Cove Settle
ment, just across the line in Barbour
county, and a part of Taylor county
over big sale made in coal lands
during the past few days, and news
of which has not yet reached the
press. except as now published. 1t
seems that several large tracts have
been sold to II. c.. Frick, of Pitts
burg. the sum total of which will
reach up in the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. Twenty-Five dollars
an acre is the amount generally paid
for the land. In connection with
this sale, and through attorneys en-
ployed by persons having option of
lands in that section, Judge John
Homer Holt, of Grafton, day or
so ago granted an injunction against
land owners selling outright land to
parties other than those holding the
options. It wou1d,appear that there
has been, what MIGHT be termed as
Gland jumping to a considerable
degree up in Barbour county, a num-
her of parties selling their land out
right and giving deeds for the same
when it was previously optioned to
other parties, the purchasers agree
ing to take the risk of suits that may
be instituted by parties having the
land under option. A large num-
Der of the land owners went to Graf
ton before Judge Holt Monday. in
an effort to have the injunction dis
solved. Tt is said that the COMING
few DAYS will see the paying out Of
many thousands of dollars to the
land owners in that section One
man will receive something like
hundred thousand dollars from the
sale of his coal, while well known
Graftonian's sales will amount tc
about sixty thousand dollars.

The Wild girl, who has been fre-
guenting the hillsides for the past
weeks, was surrounded and captured
Sunday afternoon There wore no
particularly dangerous features
about the capture, as she yielded
readily when she saw that resis-
lance would be useless.
Fully five hundred people were on
the PinnicEinnick hill at the time
she was run to cover. The fair sex
were greatly in evidence, having
been attracted thither by that, their
natural sympathies, and not any idle
curiosity.
I he residents along South Second
Lee, Hickman, Wilson and the other
streets on the Lowndes Hill, were out
in full force with opera glasses and
telescopes, Watching the patsufI
number of men on horsebae

scene.
The woman, who turned out to BE-
one Gertrude Moneypenny, was
found in the same spot as described
in the Telegram, and she was as
crazy as the use of stimulants and
drugs coupled with her wild mode
of living, could make any human
being. She was submitted to a
rapid fire of questions to which she
returned senseless and mostly in
audible answers.
At the time she was found she had
a companion in the person of little
Italian. The son of Sunny Italy

Tt seems that the Noneypennv
woman and possibly one or two
more similar outcasts make a habi-
tation out of the opening of the old

What kind of existence they lead can
be imagined. Some nights they are
harhored by negroes, again by Ital-
ians, and at other times they stink
into the old mine like ancient cave Z
dwellers.
The large crowd satisfied their
curiosity, but aside from the fef
that the woman was absolutely
nothing further recording
her or her companions was learned
The crowd finally departed and left
this modern Hagar tofesume her
life, to again resume her
eompanionship with the beasts
It was reported that the woman
would be taken care of by the Sal
vation Army, but they have not
made any epsi in that direction -

AIR FROM THE CLOUDS.
Atmosphere to Be Pumped Into Our

According to scheme patented by
James Robinson, a Sydney New
South Wales) business man. the day
may come when every household will
haze fresh air supplied in pipes tn
much the same way as gas and water
are now distributed, says the Philadel
phla Record.
The apparatus consists of captive
balloon, or series of balloons. with
a tube of aluminium communicative
with reservoir on the earth. The
reservoir will be kept full of air from
the upper atmospheric regions by
means of suction fan. This pipes
to those willing to pay for 1t. That, at
any rate, is the theory.
The idea also covers the supply Of
oxygen In this manner to hermeticallS
