Widening of Bethel Street.

Mr.. Quinn presented a report and
map from the County Engineer in re-
gard to the proposed widening of
Bethel street between King and Hotel
streets. It was stated that new con
crete building was to be erected at
the corner of Bethel and Hotel streets.
and it was suggested that an effort be
made to get it back seven feet to ac
cord with the proposed new curb line.
Mr.. Quinn stated that the Robinson
Estate was public-spirited and he be-
lieved that q proper exchange of prop
erty could be effected SO that the
widening proposition could be carried
out. The matter was referred to the
City Attorney and Engineer.
The Clerk reported that Ordinance
No. 4, referring to restrictions on
building tenements near schools, had
received the approval of the Mayor.
The board also approved the impress
sion of the new seal of the city and
county, a likeness of which has al
ready been shown in this paper. 1t
was the design of Viggo Jacobsen.
The Mayor suggested that this seal
should be placed on a shield, enlarged,
and placed over the entrance to the
city and county offices. This will
probably be done.

HUDSON AND FULTON.
New York Is Going to Pay Tribute to
Their Memories After Many Years.

1t has been many years since New
York City opened its numerous gates
and invited the peoples of the United
States and other countries to come in
and celebrate and see the great city at
its best.
Expeditions, convention gatherings
and reunions have been more or less
spurned and neglected but now the
Manhattanites think they have a real
reason for fireworks, parades, speeches
and Examinations. and are preparing
to celebrate the four-hundredth ami
versary of the discovery of the Hudson
river and to pay tribute to Robert
Fulton, whose steamboat was the fore
runner of the great shipping now trav-
ersing the waters of the world. The
preparations that are being made and
the celebration itself which will take
the days from September IS to Octo-
Der 9, will cost millions and New York
ers are now asking the other folks to
come in and see them do it.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Lena Barney Will Die as Result
of Injuries Received.
Dragged From Side of Fiance
by Three Ruffians.
WAS BEATEN AND SHOT
Spinal Column Shattered by
Bullet Fired by Assailants..
Girl Was Found in a Dying Con-
dition by Her Stepfather.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 17.-Miss
Lena Barney aged Is years, a Chico
pee girl, was the victim of a brutal
criminal assault about IL o'clock al
night at the hands of three masked
men, which will leave her a helpless
paralytic and may end in her death.
The assault was a most brutal and
cruel one. 1t was committed at the
most isolated part of the coal mining
camp of West Chicopee.
Miss Barney and Peter Weinsber-
ger. young man to whom the girl
was engaged to be married, accom-
panied a friend, James Williams, to a
Santa Fe switch in Chicopee, where
the latter caught an electric car to
go to his home in Weir City. After
the car had left Weinsberger and the
young woman started towards her
home. They had not gone very far
when the men halted them. Two of
them pulled revo1vers under the nose
of Weinsberger and told him in brok-
en- English to go.
Forced france to Leave
The other two men then seized the
girl by the arms and started to pull
her away to one side of the road.
Weinsberger, helpless to aid his sweet
heart, was forced to see her in the
grasp of the wretcheS who, at the
point of their revoIvers, warned him
berger ran to the home of the girls
mother and step-father and told them
Lena was in trouble. The step-father,
Antoine Albania hurried to the place
designated by Weinsberger, carrying
with him a revolver. When he ar
rived at the Santa Fee switch he found
the girl wounded and in a bad condi-
ton. She had been shot in the back
by the ruffians, after they had beaten
her over the head almost into insensi-
biIity. The ball, it was found by the
surgeon, had entered her back about
in the center and ran downward It
fractured the spinal column, render
ing her a paralytic for life and will
likely end with her death in a short
time. She was reported resting easy
but her life hanging by a. single
thread.
May Be Able to Recognize Assailants.
Her story of the affair, as far as
can be learned from her, is that she
was attacked by the men, one of
whom she knows but cannot tell his
name, after they had driven her es-
,ort away. She broke away from the
1ne man who was holding her and
started to run. She was caught, how
ever, before she had run far, and hit
over the head with the butt end of a
revolver. The blow landed back of
her ear and felled her, but she man
aged to get up after a struggle and
started to run again, when the shot
vas fired.
The ball struck her in the back and |
oaralyzed her so that she has not |
been able to move since

who believes that he may be found
some place where he has fallen over

the search will not be given up so long
as there is hope that the child may be
found and restored to his distressed
mother, who is almost frantic.
