BABY WAS
DESERTED
Little Stranger was Left at The Rock
Island Depot Yesterday

Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Servis, of the
Rock Island eating house have new
boarder this morning in the form Of
a little two months old infant which
was left at the depot yesterday myr-
ming. The little one, it is a girl, was
found by ticket agent King in the Ia
dies toilet room late yesterday even
ming. It was in a wicker work tele-
scope and had on only its outer cloth
ing. The telescope had the top On
and strap around it. It had been
exposed to the cold damp ar Of che
toilet room for eight or ten hours and
was almost blue with cold when found.
It is pretty child, with delicately
formed features but shows the ef-
fects Of neglect. Mr., King took the
child TO Mrs. Servis and she will care
for it until its parents or relatives
can be found or some provision il
made for it.
Several different stories concern
ing the identity Of the mother are
told, but the most likely one IS that q
woman with two other children and
carrying telescope similar to the
one in which the baby was found ask
ed agent King for the key to the
toilet room. When she came out she
left the door key in the room and the
door having a snap lock it could not
be opened again from Che outside
without some trouble. The woman
is said to have left the train at Noun
tain View.

CRIMINAL
ASSAULT
Brutal Crime Committed upon Little
COlOred Girl by a Negro

About one o'clock last night ne
gro entered the room at 212 Idaho,
where Fostina, the ten year old daugh
ter Of Will Autin, colored, was sleep
ing with her grand mother, and with
revolver in hand commanded her to
keep silent while he executed his bru-
tai assault upon the little girl. He
told them he was a white man but
before he left the room the light was
turned on and he was recognized. In
the struggle he discharged his gun,
the bullet barely missing the girl and
bruising her hand. The girl was Sc
riously injured and is in a critical
condition.
The night officers were notified and
went to Clyde Perkins house
and arrested him an hour
later, the negro denying his
guilt. The negro population was
highly inflamed at the outrage and
lynch talk was INDUCED in, but no
effort was made to take the man from
the officers. Over a hundred Of them
gathered at the court house this morn
ing at the preliminary hearing before
Judge Payne.
After a full hearing Perkins wa:
sseld without bond and win be taken
to the Ardmore Jail The details Of
the case were very revolving.

Returns from Trip in Indian Territory
Pleased with the Prospects

Oklahoma City, Okla, May g.
Hon. NJ. L. Turner, who has just re-
turned from a trip through Indian
Territory, expresses great confidence
in the outlook, both for adoption Of
the constitution and for his own can
didacy. Mr.. Turner is making many
friends everywhere he goes. In the
Indian Territory where so much de-
pends upon immediate removal Of re-
strictions and other legislation Of
great Importance, Mr.. Turner's cam
didacy is making a strong appeal.
His aggressiveness and force, to-
gether with his already extensive ac-
quaintance at Washington pre-emi-
nently fits him for the position he
seeks. He has been spending much
time lately on the east side, and re-
ports from that part Of the state in
dicate that he is stronger there than
any other candidate from the Okla
homa side. He says
Il am very we'll pleased indeed with
the prospects Of my success in the
primary, and believe that l shall be
selected as one Of the first two U. s.
senators from the new state. / am
confident that / can serve the state
well in the first years of statehood.
On the Indian Territory side where
have just been, I find very strong
inclination to support men in whom
the people have strong for the consti-
tuition, regardless Of party, and j dc
not believe the republicans will b
able to change that sentiemnt ever

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
