ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Says Fellow Countryman Forced Way
Into Room and Gagged Her.

Scantily clad and her hair disheveled,
a Chinawoman rushed into the police
station shortly before u o'clock last
night and in broken English related
meager details of an alleged attempt at
criminal assault upon her by a China
man named Won Gu a few minutes be-
fore She was so excited and her COM
mand of English so poor that it was
difficult to arrive at the facts in the
case
Officers were sent to Chinatown,
where the alleged assault occurred,
where it was ascertained that the
Chinaman accused by the woman had
evidently taken flight or was being
hidden by his fellow countrymen. 1t
was said by the residents of China
town that the man had started out of
town along the railroad tracks. 1t was
pointed out that he had no money at
the time of his departure and that ii
should not be a hard matter to effect
his capture
Some of the Cinnamon stated that
the man had forced his way into the
woman's room and Overpowering her
had gagged her. At the police station,
the woman exhibited several bruises
and scratches which she said were in
flicted by the man in his attack upon
her and her struggle to escape from
him. The police have a good descrip-
ton of the alleged assailant and he
will be arrested if he is still in the
city.

which he was plotting around the
motor speedway today, AL Living
stone. the California driver, received
injuries from which he died without
recovering consciousness. The ma
chine left the course when the right
rear wheel collapsed it is said by a
punctured tire.
Livingstone was going at what was
estimated TO be a ninety mile clip
when suddenly he was seen to rise into
the air twenty-five feet or more and
fall face downward in front of his car,
which had whirled completely around
after it smashed the rear right wheel
in pieces.
other drivers went at once to Liv-
ingstone's assistance. They found him
unconscious. One side OF his skull
was crushed and he was otherwise
mangled and bruised. He was hurried
to a hospital. but died at 1926 p. m
without having regained consciousness.
The accident was witnessed from the
grandstand by Livingstones wife and
sister. The accident, it is said tonight,
was undoubtedly caused by the pune
ture of the tire on the right wheel OF
the car.

We are accustomed to think of a

strength" The one of old who
prayed for forgetfulness knew what

in their concepts of the after life.
the river Lethe whose waters gave
to the thirsty people complete for

thus opened to him a blissful future.
But we of today can look forward to
no such magic waters.

stated that Arizona's future is in the
hands of those who dream a great
future for her. The Phoenix club,
if it accomplish anything for the good

All the speakers were enthusiastic

slight token of their appreciation the
members gave them a vote of thanks.
The civics committee recommended
that a letter which it had drawn up,
