POLICE SEEK MAN
WHO ATTACKED GIRL
ASSAILANT FEELS VICTIM ON
DARK THOR0UGHFARE
Younu Woman Carries Thousand Doll
lars Worth of Diamonds, but
Loses Only One Earring
During Fight

SAN DIEGO, June 21.-Although the
police have detailed every spare man
on the force to the case, no clews to the
identity of the person who assaulted
Miss Ina Woodbridge early yesterday
morning have been obtained.
Miss Woodbridge was on her way
home shortly after midnight when she
was attacked by man she thinks was
a Mexican. Striking her several heavy
blows on the head and face, he felled
her, threatening to kill her If she made
an outcry. Later he fled in the dark
ness.
That robbery played no part in the
attack was shown by the fact that she
wore over $1,000 worth of diamonds at
the time. none of which was disturbed
as she lay unconscious. One earring
valued at $500 which was torn from her
ear in the struggle was found at the
scene of the crime at daylight Ply
sicians say the young woman is still IN
a critical condition.

HOBBLED ABOUT WITH
GREATEST DIFFICULTY
Interesting Incident Which Occurred While
Cooper Was in Davenport, Iowa

terribly swolen-the skin stretched
tight. BY the use of canes I hobbled
about with the greatest difficulty. L
had been unable to work for three
months.
Mr.. Cooper inquired into my case,
and l took home a supply of his New
Discovery and Quick Relief. The relief
it afforded was wonderful Within a
week the swelling had been reduced
and short time later the pain had
entirely disappeared and 1 threw away
my canes. The continued use of the
medicine drove the impurities from my
system and completely restored me to
health ard strength. I was in an awful
condition and owe my recovery entirely
to the Cooper remedies"
In Los Angeles the Cooper prepara-
tions have established an enviable rep
utation. They are especially popular
with stomach sufferers and can be OBJ
tanned at the Owl Drug Stores.--Adv.

AWATORS PREPARE
FOR OFFICIAL TRIAL
WRIGHT BROTHERS WILL AS
CEND AT FORT MYER
Conditions of Endurance Flight OF
Aeroplanes Require That They
Remain Above Earth
for Two Hours

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Today the
Wright brothers, who arrived from
Dayton yesterday, went to Fort Myer
and proceeded to complete the assem-
bling of the flying machine for the
resumption of the trial brought to an
end by an accident last September.
The two aviators, fresh from the
bonors accorded them by their home
CITY, took off their coats and, assisted
bv their chief mechanic, Charles b.
Taylor. went to work. 1t is possible
they will be ready for the first pre-
liminary flight Wednesday,.
They must complete their official
trials by Monday. The speed trial OF
the Wright aeroplane must be over d
rough and billy country. the endur-
ance trial will require the Wrlghts 10
remain aloft for two hours, the ma
chine carrying two men ana sulllcleHl
fuel for trip of 200 miles.
Orville today expressed the bellet
that the new machine would make an
average speed of 40 miles an hour.
To Avoid Accident
That the Wright brothers will take
every precaution to prevent recurrence
of an accident such as happened 10
OrVille Wright at forl Myel i0S'
September is evident from the Ihethous
thew are pursuing in connection with
the resumption of their trials.
1t is not likely they will make their
speed trial over the course to AleXan-
dria, Va, on account of the roughness
of the country.
The machine that Orville will use to
complete the government trial is en-
tirely new with the exception OF the
motor, which is the same one used IN
the machine wrecked last year.
A double set of guy wires has been
attached to the rear rudder. Several
preliminary flights over the Fort Myer
drill ground will precede the official
trial
