Mrs. Thoman. In both instances he

BLOODHOUND LOSES
ASSAIlANT'S TRACK
Officers Fail TO Run Down
Criminal Who Attacked
San Rafael Girl

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. S.-A bloodhound
was employed by Sheriff Taylor today
in an effort to track the assailant of
Miss Elizabeth Grapes Saturday night
The hound was brought from Lagunitas
this morning and taken out to the
scene of the crime. For a while the
animal followed the tracks of the man
that were visible in the soft soil. How
ever, the hound became muddled owing
to the coldness of the scent and because
the ground in the vicinity was too
moist TO hold the faint odor long. When
the hound was put on Miss Grapes
track it followed it for a short way
and again lost all trace.
From early morning until late this
evening the officials have been running
down clews that have invariably
proved to end In blind alleys. The
sheriff has one man under surveillance.
After the failure to track the assailant
by means of the hound. Taylor went to
work on a clew picked up last night.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Agnew,
he visited several saloons, where bar
tenders were closely questioned.
Miss Grapes is still In a precarious
condition, but her physicians say that
she will rally from the nervous shock.
She remembers distinctly that the fell
low was partly under the influence of
liquor and she recollects smelling the
odor of whisky on his breath during
her struggles
The officials seem satisfied that the
one who assaulted the young woman
likewise attempted to club Aric and
rob Perry the same night. Working on
this theory, they have concluded that
the criminal was recent arrival in
the town.
During her struggles with the as
sailant Miss Grapes said today that she
scratched his face, and in consequence
the police in all the bay cities are look
ing for a man with finger nail marks
on his neck and cheeks.
