ILLINOIS ASSAULT
 CAUSES EXCITEMENT
NEGRO AT BLOOMINGTON ENTERS ROOM OF PROMINENT WOMAN AND MAKES DESPERATE FIGHT FOR HER LIFE.

Bloomington, Ind, October 11.-Mrs. Frank Mulky, prominent in club circles, was attacked in her home early today by negro who gained entrance to her bedroom by climbing a veranda. She fought the man so desperately that he became frightened and fled.
 Mrs Mulky gave the alarm by telephone and the entire police force started on a hunt. A negro with his face and hands badly scratched was taken before Mrs. Mulky and positively identified. There IS much excitement, and the man, who gave his name as Leasy Johnson, will be taken out of town for safe keeping. Mrs. Mulky is in a state of partial collapse.
 An indictment charging attempted as- sault was returned by the grand jury today against Johnson, who pleaded mot guilty before Judge Wilson. Johnson trial was set for Monday. and the pris- oner was taken to the Jeffersonville re- formatory for safekeeping. The local au- thorties will take every precaution to prevent trouble when the negro is re- turned to this city Monday for trial

SOUTHPORT AND THE S. A. L.
Work That Points to the Seaboard as &
Probable Factor in the Develop
ment of Southport as q Local
Station.

The fact that the Seaboard Air Line
has recently begun preparations to I'M
prove its roadway between Hamlet
and Wilmington is taken to mean that
this road has it's eyes fixed on South
port as a great coaling station. and
will assist in its development as such,
either through making connection with
the Southport and Western, at Bristol,
Tenn, or through building an inde-
pendent line TO Southport from some
point near Wilmington, or the west
side Of the Cape Fear
The announcement last week from
the office of the general superintend-
ent at Portsmouth, Va, that rs miles
OF new and heavier rail had been
purchased TO be laid early next year
between Hamlet and Bladenboro. and
the appearance simultaneously near
Wilmington of q section of corps of
s. A. l.. engineers, who are un-
derstood to be running lines South,
between Phoenix and NavaSsa, have
strengthened the belief Expressed
above.
Whether the presence Of the engi-
neers means that q branch line is pro-
jected to Southport or not. it is evident
that this end of the system is receiv-
ing some consideration by the man
| agement of the road and that plans
of Importance are under way.
The Southern and Western is q coal
read ard the connection with the Sea =
board at Rutherfordton is = valuable
one, the im Dortance of which the S. A.
l.. people doubtless realize.

Will be hailed with delight by patrons
