 Miss Florence Wagner, cashier at the Robertson store, had an exciting experience last Saturday evening She was going home about 80 and had reached Mrs John Oleaveland's s home, when she was assaulted by a young man. who placed one hand ovar her mouth and with the other ohoked her severely. In the struggle she fell in the gutter, and as she fell, screamed. A couple on the upper road nearby heard her scream and soon reached Miss Wagner. The man took fright and ran away. Miss Wagner was not hurt, except for a few bruises, but was naturally much frightened. A careful search for the assailant was made, but he could not be located. He Is described as a young man of medium height, dark clothes and was smooth shaven. Be- fore assaulting Miss Wagner the man had followed Miss Saraa LUoy, em- ployed in the Beokwith millinery store, nearly home. Miss Lucy saw him in front of the Armstrong mar ket He followed her, but she quick ened her pace and overlook a couple walking in the same direction, when nearly home. The man turned back, and just before she was to enter the house of John Hodgson, where she boards, she heard Miss Wagner scream. Miss Lucy thinks the man had been drinking. Miss Wagner noticed no Odor of liquor, and from the way he ran away does not think he was intoxicated. Much indignation is felt over the occurrence, and it is hoped the man will be apprehended.
