HAD
ACCOSTED THE
GIRL BEFORE

Since the arrest of Sam Crosse,
the Italian, for %accosting the Tschudi
girl, who resides with her parents
near the stone quarry, the officers
have unearthed evidence which con-
clusively shows that his intentions
toward the girl were of an evil char
acter.
Crosses actions towards girls in
the neighborhood had convinced the
father of the girl that he would bear
watching, and when he sent his
daughter on an errand yesterday af-
ternoon he picked up his gun, and,
%coneealing himself, watched to see
what the Italian would do. When
he observed him coming across a
swamp in her direction, and saw him
accost her, he covered him with the
gun and telephoned the sheriff.
Evidence has now been unearthed
to the effect that several days ago,
when the parents were absent, he fol-
lowed the girl and her sister home.
Becoming frightened, they went into
the house, taking an axe with them.
The Italian, so they say, remained out
side, and e~ndeavored to prevail upon
them to come out, and, failing, re-
treated to the brush near by, where,
it is believed, he concealed himself
at times, awaiting an opportunity to
carry out his designs against the
girl.
He is still being held by the Off
GERS, and it is not known just what
action they will take with relation to
him.

EXAMINING
PAPERS OF
TEACHERS

While State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Alderman, and Assis-
tant Superintendent Carelton, assist
ed by % county superintendent in
the state, have been industriously en-
gagged since Monday in passing on the
examination papers Of theachers in
the different counties of the state but
little progress has yet been made as
the task has proven a greater n
than first anticipated and it is esti-
mated that the work will cover a
period of two weeks now instead of
a few days as first estimated.
The law provides for the issuance.
of one year state certificates, FIVE
year state, life state, and a tive-year
primary state and the papers being
examined represent many applicants
for each. Until a new law was
passed by the last legislature on the
subject the county superintendent
of each county examined the papers
of teachers from their counties, but
the new law provides that the pa
pers shall be examined by a board
of examiners, and Mr.. Alderman
named the county school superinten-
dents as the board to do the work.
Nearly All Counties Represented.
Most of the counties are represent
ed on the board, but few superin-
