tack Until Help Comes.

New York. Aug. 6.-An attempt to
assault a lone woman early today on
a west side street. adds another case
10 th= long list of attacks made on

the crime wave the attack would have
been successful had it not been for
the desperate struggle of Adelaide
Wildrer, a trained nurse, who fought
her assailant with a hatpin and finally
routed him. Miss Wildrer's screams
brought the police who pursued the
man to Central park. where he was
brought to bay with a fusillade of bull
lets from the revolvers of the officers.
The man said he was Pietro Daurio.
an Italian peddler.
Miss Wildrer was walking home
early today after attending a patient.
Near Manhattan avenue and 1O6th
street an Italian accosted her. When
she repulsed him the Italian knocked
her down with his fist and clutching
to the stoop of an apartment house.
Miss Wildrer managed to withdraw
hatpin from her hat and jabbing her
assailant caused him to loosen his
hold on her throat. Miss Wildrer
screamed for help and the Italian fed.
Policemen heard her cries and gave
chase. The Italian ran to Central park
and the policemen fired a volley of
shots after the fleeing man, who leaped
the park wall and hid under a clump
of bushes. He was dragged out by
the police and identified by Miss

BODY IN TWO STATES.
Half in One and Half in Another-It
Causes Trouble.


ElPaso, Tex, Aug. Cone half of
mans body held by the authorities
OF one state and the other half held
by another state and each state re-
ruslng to give up the half it holds is a
SITUATION now existing in Mexico,
which serves to magnify some of the
incongruities of the laws of that coun-
try.
Miguel Martinez. Mexican Central
brakeman went to. sleep under one of
the cars of his train while it was on a
siding at Espiritus Santo, Zacatecas.
The train started up and cut him
squarely in two at the belt Half the
body rolled to the side of the track
and the other half, becoming tangled
In the brakebeam, was carried to Sa-
linas, San Luis Potosi
The authorities in each state took
possession of half the body and each
refuses to return the half it has over
to the other. No official investiga-
ton can proceed without whole
corpse as the basis, hence the auth
critics are at. swords points and the
relatives of the dead man are unable
to do anything.

that Rear Admiral Philibert's squad

manding the French expeditionary
force, on board, which proceeded from
Oran, Algeria, at the highest speed,
will reach Casa Blanca soon. Upon
the arrival of the general at the Mo

the French forces will be decided
upon.
Official advices estimate the num-
ber OF Moors killed or wounded dur
ing Sundays bombardment at Casa
Blanca, at 800. Only one French sail
or was seriously wounded.
Casa Blanca is occupied by $50 men
from the warships, with rapid.fire
guns. The work OF installing the in
ternational police force will COM
mence as soon as possible.
The news of the bombardment has
made : deep impression upon the ma
tives at Tangier, they having been
particularly impressed with the ease
with which the most holy shrines were
knocked to pieces by the shells from
the cruisers.

quarter was bombarded with the ap.
