 nade Their Escape.

Miss Maude Steele the nineteen years old daughter of Mir and Mrs John Steele of Bradleyville, was way laid yesterday afternoon near the
 New England trestle on North Church street by three men who spoke foreign tongue. They sprank at her without warning tied a hahd- kerchief around her face so that sis could not scream, carried her on the highway into the brush, where they took small amount of change out of her pockets and then assaulted her, and fled leaving her unconscious. When she recovered she managed to make her way home, distance of nearly two miles, and told her father what had happened. Mir Steele hur- ried to Naugatuck and reported the case to the police. The girls de- scription of the men Is not good, but 1t Is thought that such as it is 1t will enable the authorities to locate the offenders, one of whom wore U corduroy trousers and had red handkerchief about his neck. The assault took place shortly after f o'clock. It is lonesome spot and is much frequented by groups of men at all hours of the day and night.

number of vacancies which will occur
during the month is a small one. OF
the officials whose terms of office will
expire during the month there are the
following: Lizzie Jewett Butler of
Mechanic Falls, members of Library
Commission, June 1, after six years Of
service; Frank T.. Goss of Auburn.
trustee of the Bath Military and Naval
Orphan Asylum, June 8, after one
year of service; Edward p. Mayo of
Fairfield, member of board of inspec-
tors of prisons and jaiis, June %, after
four years of service; George II.
Smith of Pressure Isle, reporter of de-
cisions, June %, after four years of
service. From what can be learned it
is considered probable that there will
be a disappointment in each of the
above cases. 1t is also thought prob
able that the appointment Of the board
of trustees for the school for feebi"
minded to be built in the town of
Pownal may be included in the forth
coming list of appointments. The
matter of the school was taken up and
discussed at some length at the last
meeting of the Governor and Council,
and there is a feeling that the mem
bers of the above board will be named
before the June meeting of the Council.

He is making the trip from Sar
Francisco, Cal, TO Boston, Mass, or

only vegetables and cereals, and is
not allowed to accept any donation
or favor from any one.
He left San Francisco on January
I, 1905, 20 walk a distance CT five

premium OF five thousand dollars,
leaving without Il cent Or baggage
OF Any kind. and nakir Z his living
on the road. He carries d book in
which tie agent at each railroad
station he passes writ:s his name
and Lotes the time of arrival and
departure.
He is making the trip by railroad
entirely, and says between Rocky
Mount, n. c., and Primers Point,
Va, there are over $3.50 cross
ties, and challenges any one who
does not believe it to count them.
The reason why he is taking this
long walk is because Of a dispute
among the rrt fezsors Of Harvard
and Yale Universities, Harvard
claiming that man could live and
experience 10 Inconvenience on a
diet of vegetables and cereals alone
while walking OF tcing any iaboiious
work and sleep in the open. while
Yale said if he should eat 10 meals
Of any kind it would kill him. In
order to test the matter each Of
these great institutions organized
an association and offered a liberal
reward to the conte stant5.
Walking Joe says Yale has thus far
sent ont five men en- a similar trip
and they have all returned. while
ne, the Harvard man. is sticking to
his task and "fattening all the time"
He says he weighed 1i9 pounds when
he began tie trip; nearly four yea' S
ago, and now he weighs 15S. and he
certainly looks the picture Of health.
He left here Saturday morning
for Weldon. and said from that
