made upon her. Her assailants are
still at large. The extent of Mrs. Cell
ing's injuries cannot be ascertained at
the present time and 1t is not known
whether or not. she has suffered any
internal injuries. She was scarcely

her attendants could learn, It is sur
missed she was badly injured by kicks
and other maltreatment, which may
have caused internal injuries. 1t is

fits at the expense of the fund for

been reported to the board of educa-
ton, and evidence is being collected

Creditors et E. M. Arno.d Ask That lie
 Be Adiudyed Baukrupt

Be Adiudged Bankrupt
 several local creditors have flied . petition in the U. <. district court asking that Ernest NJ. Arnold of this city he adjudged bankrupt. Deputy United States marshal smith cf nart- ford served the papers ordering Mir. Arnold 10 appear next Monday ae Hartford, and show cause why the pc- tition should not he granted.
 Mr. Arnold came to this city some nine years ago and opened place of business on Union street, offering to tho public guaranteed six per cent in- vcstmsnts. He borrowed money giv- inE as security his personal noles, and allowed hts investors to shase In the profits, and, although guaFAntsslng his customers but six pr cont, oelsn, scccrding to hia own statement. pel1 much more. even e high e @ pr cont. These high rates of intsseat q course attracted more end more tnves- tors, and the baslnsss expanded, until from ono room the whole Thompson Bank building on Union stsect wes utilized, and largo clerical fOrcs sm- ployeSi.
 Mr. Arnold never tsok the public in- to hts confidence as to what hts money making system was. The only out. ward signs of what he was slolng wsre large investments In city real estate. He built many houses and did much to develop and improve the property In the vicinity of Grove, Bradley. and Fremont streets, and also built exteE. sive greenhouses on Farrows street. His real estate holdings as valued by himself aggregate a,Bs0.0o, upon which are mortgages axgregatine Sas ,sa7 50
 A few months ago some of hts notes began to fall duo and he failed to meet them. Several meetings of creditors were held and In number Of tnstancea time extensions were granted al Mr. Arnold's request. and upon his stnte- mcnt that he would come out all right if gwen time.
 The petitioners claim that on Juno 3d last Mir. Arnold committed an eee of bankruptcy by transferring while lnsolvent. seventeen tracts of land In Putnam to Clinton !. Andesn, to prsies him over othcr creditors. Mr. Arnold has glycn out . etate. ment in which hs says that most ef the trouble came about on account q the Andem mortgages that hs gave last June for t22 ,sOtb, to secure Mt. An tlcm on loans, not to be used fos tne yestment, but outright loans. He de- nies that he made Mir. Andem ptb- ierred creditor.
 If he k forced Into bankruptcy Mir. Arnold says many will suffer and he would not bc able to pay his creditoss over two per cent, but lf allowed to continue for two years when thrce- quarters of the notes become due, ho will be able to make satisfactory set~ clement. lie gave out the following statement as to hts financial condt.!en, which is the same as he recently gave to some of his creditors;
