Woman Is Assaulted.
Mrs. Charles M. Johnston, the in
valid wife of an Ottumwa travelling
man, was in bed with her four-year-
old child at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning, when she awoke to find a
negro bending over her. Before she
could scream for help the black seiz-
ed her by the throat and began to
choke her. Despite her weakness, as
the result Of a recent operation, Mrs.
Johnston fought desperately She tore
herself loose from the big hands and
cried out. At the same time the
child screamed. There was curtain
pole an inch in diameter, which was
used as window prop within reach
The negro grabbed this and beat the
woman until she became unconscious.
The cries of the child finally
aroused the neighbors.
Mob Quickly Gathers.
The news spread rapidly and the
quiet streets soon sounded to the feet
Of men running. The police called out
the vigilants, and a half hour after
the assault was committed armed
posses of men were on the trail of
the fleeing negro.
1t was felt as the night wore on
that the danger point of concerted &C.
ton on the part of the thousands had
passed. Still there were evidences of
unrest in the more isolated parts of
the city, where many negroes have
their homes, and it was toward these
spots that the police and their aids
directed their attention.
The physicians attending Mrs.
Johnston say that she will recover I'm.
less the shock to her heart proves
too great.
