in the western part Of Lake Erie It
is very nearly west. At Logansport.
Ind, extensive grooves and scratches
have been found where the movement
is toward the north. This variation
in the direction of the grooves and
scratches indicates that there were
eddies in the ice, such as are found In
the current of q deep. slow-moving
stream OF water. The grooves on the
islands In the western end Of Lake
Erie are among the most remarkable
in the world. One groove, In hard
corniferous limestone, was about 20
feet broad and eight feet deep, extend
ing for a long distance across Kelley
island. The surface Of this groove is
most finely polished, corals and other
fossils being cut of as sharply as
could be done by any graver's tool.
The direction of these grooves in the
bed OF Lake Erie is evidently due to
the fact that the depression OF the
lake diverted the ice movement In Its
closing stages in the direction OF Its
longer diameter toward the natural
outlet on the west.

Indignant Citizens Gather About the

Girl Could Not Positively

Ballinger, Texas, June 3.-The
citizens of Ballinger are greatly
wrought up over the deed committed
here by some man upon the little g.
year-old dauhter of Mrs. Howard
Monday evening about 6 o'clock. The
little girl was en- route to the ba-
ker's for bread when she was ap-
preached by man, who carried her
into little shed, where he partly un-
dressed her, when it seems that he
became frightened and left her. The
little girl told her mother of the
trouble and over 100 men were soon
securing the town for the brute, but
no one could be located who suited
the description. An arrest was made
and party brought in from ten
miles in the country yesterday
who suited the description, but the
little girl could not positively identi-
fy him. 1t was learned later in the
day that the same man approached
as many as four little girls during
the day, ranging from 6 to 10 years,
and several men saw him with a lit
tie girl but thought nothing of it at
that time, and it is certain that these
men can identify the right man.

SMITH VERSUS BROWN.
Hot Political Campaign Comes to a
Close.

Atlanta, Ga, June 3.-Georgia s
great political warfare of Smith
against Brown will come to a close
tonight and tomorrow the sovereign
democratic voters of the state will
meet in primaries to decide the vic
tory and to divide the spoils. The
principal fight has been between
Hoke Smith and Joseph M. Brown
for the democratic nomination for
governor, equivalent to election. Sup
porters of Smith, the present incum-
bent, asserts that he will win an
overwhelming victory. and reports
from over the state appear to afford
some ground for this belief. The
Brown men, however, are equally
full of confidence. 1t has been de-
clared that Brown has had the sup
port of the brewers. who seek to
overturn the existing prohibition
regime, but this is vigorously denied
in the Brown camp. The only other
contest is for state treasurer and two
places on the railroad commission.

BOY AssA|L[D BY H|GHWkYMAN
Struck with Revolver When He Re-
fused to Give Up Mule.

Because the 15-year-old son of
Mr.. Byce, a farmer residing two
miles west of Red Oak, refused to
turn the mule he was plowing over
to highwayman late Tuesday af-
ternoon he was struck with a re-
volver and his clothes cut into shreds
with pocket knife. That the boy
was not seriously injured or killed
seems little short of miraculous
The field in which the boy was
plowing cotton Is situated on Red
Oak creek. When he drove out at
the end Of the rows near the creek
bank a man stepped out of the bush
es and told him to give up his mule.
This the boy refused to do where
upon the highwayman whipped a
revolver out OF his pocket and COW
ering the boy with the weapon or
dered him to pass over what money
he had, saying he would take that in
place of the animal. The boy said his
money was in his shoe and when he
stopped over to pull his shoe of the
man hit him with the gun. When the
boy regained his feet from the ef-
fects Of the blow he grappled with
his antagonist and for several min
utes a desperate struggle ensued. The
boy finally secured possession of the
revolver and tossed 1t into the
creek. In the mean time the man re-
newed the attack with a knife, cut
ting the boys clothes into shreds but
failed to infliet wound Of any con-
sequence The man then waded into
the creek, fshed out his revolver
and disappeared In the woods. The
officers are investigating the matter
but an arrest has not yet been made.
