TIMELY HELP ARRIVES
Burly Negro Tears Clothes
From His Victim.
Eleven Year Old Blmer Wilson 10
Attacked Thursday In Local Eris
Yards.

The police are hot on the trail OF
an unknown negro, who assailed and
ATTEMPTED an atrocious crime on FL
mer Wilson, the eleven-year-oid son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Wilson, OF
West Center street, the attempt be-
ing made behind a box car IN the
west yards Of the Erie about =
O'Clock Thursday morning.
The lad was picking up coal along
the Big Four tracks just opposite the
Erie round house when the negro ap-
preached him. According to the boys
story, the negro dragged him behind
a box car and almost completely
stripped him of his clothing, at the
same time coaxing him to be quiet.
Despite the fact that the negro tried
to assure him that he wouldn't hurt
him, the boy was terribly frightened
and screamed for help.
Dan Evans and Jack Coffee, Erie
Iswitchmen, were switching cars near
the place and heard the screams of
the lad. Hurrying to the place they
found the boy lying on the ground
and the ngro standing over him.
IThey sprang for the brute, but he
escaped them and ran down the Gin
,cinnati Erie tracks.
Coffee closely pursued and was
nearly upon him when the black
turned and covered him with re-
volver. When the railroaders learned
that the negro was armed they gave
up the chase and Immediately notified
the police.
A posse OF men was formed and the
man was tracked down the Erie
across Bellefontaine avenue. The
trail was lost near the home OF Perry
Brady. Later a Hooking Valley rail-
road man reported that negro bear
ing the description OF the villain was
seen in the south yards OF the Hook
ing Valley. Officer Bell has good
description of him and has a clue
which will probably lead to his cap
ture. The police are in possession
of the mans coat and hat which he
left behind in his hurry to escape the
'railroaders.
| According to the description CIV
IeDby Evans and Coffee, the negro Is
about Ave feet, eight inches in height,
labout twenty years OF age and very
black. The police are quite confl-
dent that they will capture their man.

The caadldAtss are al Men Who

Candidates for honors at the
hands OF tfgs electors Of Marion
county neat Tuesday are putting
in hard ticks at the present time
and everywhere one gets the glad
greet sfA
The fight is perhaps the most
interesting one that has occurred
in Marion county for some time.
william T. Smith, the Democratic
candidate for representative, is
making an excellent race and 1t
is now practically conceded that
he will be elected. The independents
PIT up a stronger fight than the
Republicans Believed that they
could and finally succeeded in
smoking out II. W. Donithen, the
partys candidate for representa-
tive, in to declaring for local op-
ton. The Jump is regarded as a
fatal one for the candidate and It
is freely predicted that C. w. Hen
sci, the original local option in
dependent candidate will run ahead
OF Donithen.'
In local politics there Is plenty
of interest happening. It is as
serted that the sentiment in re-
gard to the election is far from
apathetic, and that one Of the larg
est votes ever counted in the city
will be polled.
During the past week Mayor

Harry s. Elliott is gaining ground

scholar, well informed on all top
les and is eminently qualified for
the responsible ONCE OF city audi
tor. Although the election is, vet
several days removed Elliot, g
friends claim victory. When
Elliott was nominated he promised

the voters, firing of the misman-

under republican control in many
quarters. will rally to the Demo.
