SOCIETY WOMAN ATTACKED BY
 MEXICAN
Assault Made In Fl PaSo Near Union Station By a We'll Dressed Young Man With a Foreign Accent.

FL PAso. Jan. 12.-with her cloth ing disarranged and covered with mud and the finger prints of a brutal att tempt at choking visible upon her Ias- erated neck, a well-dressed woman prominent in the best social circles of Fl Paso, in a half-fainting condition struggled into the Union depot last night at 7:50 and asked the station policeman, John Dougher, for assist ance.
 She was the victim of an attempted criminal assault, which occurred with | in half a block of San Francisco St., brilliantly lighted and thronged with people bound to and from the Union station.
 While going down the extension or Franklin street on her way to meet friends who were to arrive in Fl Paso on the delayed santa Fe train. the lady observed walking in front of her a young man, whose pace slackened until they were walking side by side.
 The lone woman was then aceosted in Mexican by the young man, who was well-dressed and wore 8 dark ov- ercoat and a uniform cap. | She attempted to pass, but was im- mediately grasped around the throat by the Mexican.
 | In the ensuing struggle to escape l the woman was choked almost into insensibility and thrown to the 1 ground.
 Her cries for help caused the un- known assailant to flee, and alter she I had recovered sufficiently, the lady went to the Union station and notified the policeman on duty of the assault
 Officer Dougher accompanied her l to the scene of the assault and found in the mud every evidence of a strug- | gle.
 1 A depression in the mud marked where the woman had been thrown. | A search with lantern resulted in l the finding of bfeastpin which had been torn from her throat by the ruff fianly garroter, but a purse dropped by the lady could not be found, and 1t is thought that the assailant took that from the ground.
 When attacked, the woman threw her purse, containing about $Io. to the ground, but it Is evident the high wayman saw it and picked 1t up.
 A mounted. officer responded to a call sent to the police station, but he was so slow in coming that when he arrived, there was no trace of the whereabouts of the as yet unidentified l hold-up man.

 An action against the professor was begun today by Miss Annie L. Manley of Boston. Professor Marcou's prop erty in Cambridge has been attached.
 The professor declines to deny or admit that he knows a woman of that name and maintains that his only po- sition should be one of dignified si- lence. Professor Marcou has lived in Cambridge twenty-five years and has long been known as a woman hater and man devoted passionately to his work. He reads and speaks many modern languages and has librars surpassed by few other private col lections. He is wealthy.

hall of statuary at Carnegie institute
is causing no end of discussion here.
II is learned that when the millionaire
trustee of the institute sent an agent
TO France and Italy to procure the
statues he insisted on getting exact
replicas. When the statues arrived
the modest trustees were terribly
shocked because the figures of Apollo
Belvedere, the discus Thrower," and
others were too true to life. Bath
robes were first suggested for the fig
ures. Director John w. Beatty OF the
