Who, Revolver In Hand, Tried Grim
inal AssauIt-outraee Occurred
at Very Edge Of the City.

Evansville, Ind, Aug. 12.-The east
side of the city is In turmoil over the
criminal assault attempted on two
girls, Clara Iplofen, aged Is, and
Amelia Walton, aged II, by William
Kinney, who. it is said, attacked and
Knocked down Fred and Lawrence
Bennett, the girls escorts.
Kinney is being hunted by the po-
lice. He is armed with two large re-
vClvers. The outrage occurred on
Maxwell Street, at the very edge of
the city and adjoining tract of thick
woods. The two young couples were
going home from a party. which had
not ended until after midnight, wheh,
at the darkest stretch in the avenue,
Kinney, who was hiding behind tree,
sprang behind Fred Bennett and felled
him to the ground with the but of q
revolver Then as young Bennett re.
gained his feet Kinney whipped out
another gun and made the Bennett
brothers take to their heels.
The Beunetts fed precipitately, leaV-
ing the girls to their fate and at the
mercy of the assailant. Kinney grab
bed the girls, who are both frail, and
started to drag them into the woods
nearby They fought with their hands
and teeth and screamed in agony.
Amelia Walton, the youngest girl,
finally tore loose from Kinneys grasp,
but he drew his revolver on her and
made her stop. She dropped on her
knees in the dust and prayed him not

Kinney stuck his gun back into his
pocket again and started to grab Miss

picked up a handful of dust, which she
courageously threw into Kinney's eyes.
Temporarily blinded, the infuriated
man released his grasp on the girls
arm.
Screaming at the top of their voices
the girls fled down the road. Guns in
hand Kinney pursued them, and was
right at their heels when they reached
the home of Mrs. Bennett, mother OF
the two boys.
The girls almost tore down the door
in gaining entrance TO the house. Mrs.
Bennett, aroused at the noise, rushed
to the door, revolver in hand. The
girls begged her to protect them from
Kinney. Mrs. Bennett opened fire on
Kinney at once, but her bad aim made
all five shots miss their mark.
Kinney ran at the first shot. The
bicycle officers were quickly put on
Kinneys trail and pursued him into
the country, where the trail was
lost.
The officers in surrounding towns
have been notified to watch for him.
The neighborhood is so aroused over
the outrage that Kinney would be
mobbed should he reappear

Individual Tastes.

Some parents want to choose. the
future calling of their child them
selves, without regard to his or her
likes or dislikes. A man often wants
his boy to acquire his own particular
trade or profession, when it often hap
pens that the child positively dislikes
the work, and possesses talent for
something else, If he is only given
chance to cultivate it. This opposi-
tion, however, is sometimes more of
a help than hindrance, for the boy
is filled with ambition, and is deter
mined to succeed, to show father that
he can make his way in the world,
notwithstanding the parents objec-
tons, and he goes to work with
courage and resolution that nothing
can daunt He overcomes objections
after a time, and generally gains the
help and appreciation of his father
after he has shown that he possesses
the grit, perseverance and independ-
ence essential to success. This di-
Versity of tastes is often strikingly
illustrated in a family of girls. There
is usually one girl that always helps
mother with the cooking, and at an
early age is skilled in all the myster-
les of bread and cake-making, putting
up fruit in various ways, converting
it into jelly, jam, preserves and
pickles. She can wash, iron and
scrub and is spoken of among her ac-
quaintances as model girl. Her sis
ter never has good luck" with her
biscuit, and her cakes always fail to
meet expectations; but she is equally
useful in her way, for she is the dress
maker for the family, and saves many
a big bill by her taste and readiness

pride and shame of the household.
She will not sew, and, if forced to do

despises the kitchen work, and if
sent to wash the dishes is found
perched in an apple tree with book

the head of her class, and steps off
with the first prizes. She is snubbed
in the family circle on account of her
uselessness, but is always brought for
ward when company comes, to as
tonish them with her learning. Par
ents should make a study of each
child's disposition, says New York
Weekly, and endeavor to discover in
what direction their respective talents
