FIRE IN NATIONAL PARK
ENTAILS HEAVY LOSSES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Fire con-
ditions in the national forests have
improved. A telegram received today
by Assistant Forester Potter from AS
sistant District Forester SilcOX at
Missoula, Mont, in whose jurisdiction
the situation has been most serious,
reported that all the fires in his ter
ritory were now under control eX-
cept those on the Clearwater and
Occur de'Alene reserves in Idaho. He
said that the federal troops from
Forts Harrison and Missoula in Mon
tana were cooperating with the range
forces in fighting the flames.
SilcoX estimates that about 100000
acres had been burned over. Forest
officials here were unable to approx
innate the monetary loss with any de-
gree of accuracy because they are
without definite information as to the
extent of the devastation from the
burned over area. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the loss will be very heavy.

WOMEN AND THEIR
ESCORTS HELD UP
Degenerate RObs Young Man and
Subjects Girls to IndignitieS.
Police Securing City

Armed with a revolver and wearing
dark clothes and black soft hat, a
man thought by the police to be of the
type of degenerate that murdered little
Anna Poltera more than year ago,
held up women in different parts of
the city last night and made desperate
efforts to assault them. The police are
eXerting every effort to apprehend the
criminal and fifteen officers are scour-
ing the city for the guilty person.
The first attempt was made shortly
before 10 o'clock last night at Forty
ninth street and South Park avenue.
J. A. Tompkins of 919 East Fifty-sec-
ond street was sitting in the play
grounds there talking to Miss Bertha
Rathbun of $40 East Thirty-first street,
when they were startled by a gruff
command of Throw up your hands!'
They complied with the demand, and
turning saw a man about feet 6
inches in height and about 25 or 30
years old standing in front of them.
"Hand me your money and be quick
about it" commanded the man as he
leveled a revolver at the couple. Tomp-
kins drew $1S from his pockets.
After receiving the money the in
truder forced the young girl to go to
a secluded part of the Fairgrounds
and ordered her escort to subject her
to an indignity. Tomkins refused and
then the holder of the revolver at
tempted to assault the girl. She
screamed for help and Tompkins
turned and ran, after shouting to her
to escape. The girl was unsuccess-
full and the robber compelled her to
go into an alley nearby and again
attempted to injure her. This time
the man became frightened and ran.
Tompkins and the girl Immediately
, notified the University police station
and fifteen patrolmen were rushed to
the scene in an automobile. The Off
GERS made a thorough search of the
neighborhood but were unable to
find the offender
The next attempt was made at
Stephenson and Euclid avenues in
Boyle Heights. Samuel Gordon, an
employe of the Orpheum theater, was
walking with two young women short
ly before midnight when man an
swering the same description as that
of the assailant of Tompkins and Miss
Rathbun stepped from behind tree,
leveled a revolver at them and COM
manded them to accompany him to a
barley field a short distance away.
On reaching the field the degenerate
ordered one of the young women to
leave the other two. He made her
walk about fifty yards to a clump of
high grass and then attempted to as
sault her. She fought him off and he
then placed the revolver to her head
and told her he would shoot unless she
consented.
She defied him, and he returned to
where the others were standing and
attempted to drag the young woman
with him. She screamed, and when
Gordon made an effort to grasp the
revolver the brute threatened him with
death unless he forced the young wom-
an to comply with his demand. Cor
don refused, and warning the trio not
to follow him, the man, after taking Is
cents from Gordon, turned and ran
down Stephenson avenue and disap-
peared in the darkness.
Every effort will be made to capture
the man. as the police believe he might
be the fiend who murdered the Poltera
girl near Griffith park
