that both will recover:
The girl had rejected the mans at

from the girls home Friday, but re-
appeared this morning and broke the
front door and forced an entrance to
the girls bedroom. The girl and her
mother ran screaming to the upper
gallery, Shaffer following. The girl
jumped to the yard below. Shaffer fol-
lowed and cut her, then cut himself
Shaffer is in the hospital and the
girl is being treated at her home. Ply
sicians fear she is internally injured
as result of the leap from the gal
lery.
w. w. Woodwork, father of the
girl, is prominently connected with the
Texas Oil Company. He is out of the

Jealousy is the motive ascribed for
the attack.
