YOUNG GIRL ATTACKED.
Man Grabs Her on Mack-ave.-Re'
leases Her When She Screams.

Helen HeintZTan. IL years old. was
attacked by an unidentified man a.
she passed an alley on Mack-ave.. be-
tween Chene-st. and Grandy-ave,,
ehortly after o'clock, Tuesday night,
and though her screams brought a
crowd OF neighborhood boys to the
scene. TO be joined later by number
of enraged men, the tiend made his es'
cape.
II is probable that the would-be as
saulter used cnicroform on the girl,
as she says that he attempted to place
wet rag in her mouth when she
screamed. She was returning to her
home, No. 260 Mack-ave., from candy
store at Mack and Chene, when the
man suddenly darted from the alley
and seized her about the waist. She
screamed, and her mother, who heard
the cry, rushed to her assistance, call
ing loudly for help as she ran.
A crowd OF boys and dogs joined In
the chase, as the man released Helen
and ran through the alley. The boys
declare that he took of derby ha.
and replaced it with a cap which he
carried under his coat. He was vel
dressed young man, they declare. Pc
ncemen later secured the neighbor
hood, but obtained no clue.

6. 0. P. FOLK FEAR
Dem. LANDSLIDE
Therefore, Republican Aldermen
Favor Civil Service Law While
They're in Control.

Civil service was the subject OF a
debate OF more than an hour In the
council meeting, Tuesday evening.
The charter amendment presented By
Aid. Vernon and Endorsed by the
Municipal league was up for discus
sion, and was amended by exempting
from its operation the common labor
ers and ward foremen.
Vernon refused TO accept these
amendments and asked unanimous
consent TO withdraw his amendment
This was not allowed. Finally, after
long parliamentary squabble, Aid.
Heineman had the matter referred
back TO committee with instructions
TO report out new charter amend
ment which would cover city en-
ployes other than laborers and road
fCremen.
Aid. Vernon frankly told the other
aldermen that the charter amendment
in the terms provided in his measure
may be forced to submission by petit
ton, as In the case of the Moore
municipal ownership amendment.
Petitions for this purpose will prob
ably be got out at once by the
Municipal league. The council can
beat the league to It by approving or
shortened civil service code in the
meantime. however. and get that to
the people at the special election next
summer.
The Republican aldermen showed
their disposition to adopt some sort
OF civil service plan. One OF the
causes which prompt them most
strongly to this action Is the political
uncertainty and the danger OF Demo
cratic countrywide sweep at the polls
next November. A civil service
amendment adopted this summer
would protect all competent clerks
now in offlce-and all the city offices
will be Republican by that time ex-
cept the corporation counsels.
Aid. link made the principal fight
against the Vernon amendment, as Ii
stood, Directing first to the provision
with regard to laborers and winning
out on a vote In which only Aid. Wat
son stood with Vernon. The vote
was "a to 10 in favor Of eliminating
the road bosses from the bill. link
explaining that road foremen were
assistant aldermen" when appointed
b. direction of the aldermen, as now.
The second best battle OF the even
ing was over the proposal to withdraw
AID Koenigs property at Harper-avc.
end Beaubien-st, from the saloon re-
stricted district. Aid. link brought
this up but Aid Gutman vigorously OPP
posed it, In consequence, the matter
went back to the liquor regulation
committee, with instruction to give
bearings to the people residing in the
neighborhood of the proposed saloon.

PRINCETON, Ind. March 30.-In
addition to being divorced by Bertha
Stewart, his wife, Dr. w. III. Stewart
was ordered to pay her $7,S66 aiimony
and $500 for attorney fees. The YER
dict marked the close of a sensational
case.
Offered as an exhibit during the
trial were four eggs bearing penciled
legends, all of which Mrs. Stewart and
her counsel interpreted as meaning
small threats of a dubious character.
One of the eggs bore the words: Il
am Mrs. Stewards boss; whose boss
are your"
The other inscriptions were OF a
similar petty character. 1t was said.
Witnesses testified to the finding OF
the eggs in the nests OF the hens
about the Stewart place.
Mrs. Stewart, on the stand in her
own behalf, declared that she almost
daily discovered scraps of paper UNI
der the pillows, in the cupboard
shelves, In hooks of the barn and

unusual places. She also said that
her husband had not confined his al
legged prosecutions to the writing OF
covert messages, but that he had tor

ways with similar probable intent.
