A WOMAN ASSAULTED
Hrs. Isaes. Neer llslu, sas SirussIe With
Blstl Brute.

Last night about $50 o'clock Mrs
+. b Jones', a well known white wo-
man who resides with her husband
one and half miles from Italy, on
the " J. Dunaway place. was as
saulted by an unknown negro and
but for the timely interference of
Mr.. Jones, Ellis county would have
afforded another victim TO negro
beastiality.
| Just before retiring Mrs. Jones
| stepped out in the yard and had
scarcely passed from the gallery when
a hurley negro grabbed her and at
tempted to make her his victim. The
woman screamed and her assailant
held her more securely. but with
strength born of fear Mrs Jones
fought her assailant until her hus-
band appeared on the scene The
negro was evidently expecting this
interference and had planned re-
sistance. When Mr. Jones stepped
from the gallery the negro, at close
range, threw large rock. but miss
ing his mark released the struggling
woman and made his escape
During the terrible struggle with
her assailant Mrs Jones clothes were
nearly all torn from her, and over
come with fear and exertion, she
tainted just as the negro released her
from hia or and Mr. JnnnE
had already retired and there was
some little delay from the time his
wife cried for help until he could go
to her assistance, and during all this
time the woman desperately defend
ed her honor against the black brute
who assaulted her.
AS soon as this terrible crime was
reported officers began an active
search for the negro. but Mrs. Jones
could give very little Information
that would aid in identifying her as
sailant. All night dilligent searci
was made, and this morning almos
the entire male population OF tha
section. with many citizens OF ttal
ioined in the hunt for the black beas
ofIlttTS VI Y. SWEAT anu
McAlpin and County Attorney MAJ
n Smith went down this morning, an
with one of these n Light reporfe
held Il telephone conversation this al
ternoon at 80 The officer stated
that every effort was being made tc
discover clue that would lead to the
identity of the negro, but as yet there
is very little to guide the searchers.
4 black, medium sized negro was
seen near the scene of the attempted
assault late yesterday afternoon and
! a strange negro answering this de-
scription was observed in Italy early
this morning. With this as foun-
ldation the officers are trying to find
ia starting point. Nothing will be
left undone to discover the negro
and bring him to justice. bur what
this Justice means depends entirely
on whether he is captured by the en-
ragged populace or the officers.
Mrs. Jones is reported To be in a
verv prccatious condition as the re-
suit OF her fearful experience.

The president on May "a. 1906, is
sued his proclamation opening to
homestead settlement and entry over a
million acres of the finest agricultural
land in the west situated in the IA
nous Yellowstone valley in Montana.
These lands are those on the coded
portion of the Crow Indian reserva-
ton. and registration for the opening
will commence in Illinois on June IA,
of this year and continue until June
%. The drawing will take place in
Billings, commencing July 2.
This is a great opportunity for the
old soldier of the civil war, the sol
der of the Spanish-American war. and
the Instructions in the Philippines. as
they do not have to be present in per-
son to register, but may do so through
an agent.
Approximately 100000 acres of this
land is to be irrigated by the govern
ment under the national irrigation law
Land under the irrigating canals is
worth 500 per acre, and soldiers and
sailors who have not exercised their
homestead right should not fail to take
part in the registration for these
lands.

greatest opening of lands by the Unit
ed States government, address &. l..

ARGUMENT FOR ANNEXATION
South Heights to Learn How Much Tu-
ition They Are Paying City.

At the school census to be taken in
South delights this summer it has
been decided to secure in addition to
the usual data, the number of children
who are attending the city schools and
are consequently paying tuition. This
will throw light on an interesting
question, namely, what the residents
of the suburb are paying to provide the
educational facilities that they would
get free if the district were a part of
the city. 1t is altogether likely con-
vincing argument for annexation will
be uncovered.
