Clinton, Nov. 17.-An Austrian la
borer, who has an old grievance
against Herbert Currie and his family,
of Baldwin, Jackson county, is being
sought for by the police as the probable
assailant of Miss Emma. Bradley, a
Clinton girl, who was made the victim
of a murderous attack recently, when
she left the home Of her cousin, Mr..
Currie, and was seized in the darkness
by a man who cut her clothing partly
from her body, and inflicted slight
wound on her arm with a knife.
The Austrian was seen in the vicin-
ity of Maquoketsa and Baldwin the day
of the attack, and has since disap-
peared. The girls description of the
man who attacked her establishes the
belief that it was the Austrian, who
during an old feud, once followed Cur
RE and tried to shoot him. 1t Is
thought the murderous Austrian was
lettering about in the darkness looking
for some mischief to do in revenge on
Currie, when the girl, stepping out Of
doors to feed the dogs, fell into his
clutches. The Clinton girl defended
herself vigorously, breaking the bowl
across the fellows head and then es-

Mason City. Nov. 17.--After pre-
liminary hearing which lasted for two
days, Frank Dedina. was at o'clock
last evening. bound over to the grand
jury on charge of murder by JUS
tice of the Peace Church. Albert De-
dina and Vince Novratial, who were,
with Frank Dedina, on trial for the
murder of Michael Cummings, OF Ply
mouth, were both discharged, the lat
ter on a motion by States Attorney
Witwer. Even against Frank Dedina
who was bound over to the grand jury,
the evidence at the preliminary was
largely of a circumstantial nature.
No positive testimony was intro
duced to prove that Cummings ever
left his home after having been taken
home for the first time at II o'clock
by his youngest son Leo, Frank and
Albert Dedina, and Vince Novratial.
1t is only an inference drawn from
many circumstances that the man who
died that night in violent manner
was a participant in the fight which
occurred at the Fallesek home at mid
night. The Falleseks, both man and
wife, proved the most difficult witness
es of the hearing Fallesek was ex-
tremely reticent and his wife was both
reticent and clever.
That Michael Cummings was in that
midnight fight at the Fallesek home
seems certain, but the state has thus
far been able to offer no direct proof
Of the fact There seems to be no mo-
tive for the murder and even the state
does not think that the killing was pre-
meditated, but that the Dedinas and
Novratial probably had a grievance
against Cummings and planned to take
1t out in a good beating. The conflict
ing stories told by the men and espe-
cially by Frank Dedina, as we'll as the
extreme reticence of the Falleseks,
doubtless had something to do with the
action Of the court in binding one Of
the three to the grand jury.
