NEGRO ASSAULTSTWO WOMEN
Paroled Convice Captured After
Brutal Attacks Near West Salem.

In a ferment of excitement a mob
followed Ed Majors, paroled negro
convict, up the steps of the Salem
court house Monday, as he was led
into the Jail by severel heavily armed
men.
Majors attacked two women within
two hours near West Salem, and the
entire country side was up in arms
beating the fields and woods for miles
in search of the fugitive.
The first assault was on Miss
Walter, and took place on the Wall
lace road about a mile from West Sa-
lem She was on a bicycle, riding
ahead of her family, which had start
EIDE for the coast on an outing. Sud
denly the negro dragged the young
girl from her wheel and threw her
against a. barbwire fence. He struck
her violently in the face, as large
bruise testified, and tore violently at
her waist Becoming frightened at
the approach of wagon carrying the
girls parents, the negro jumped over
fence and disappeared in field.
Later Majors met Mrs. w. Jorgen-
sen, of Salem, as she was on the Eola
road toward Salem. She was on BIZ
cycle. Dragging her from the wheel,
he hit her several timess in the face
and dragged her by the hair to
fence corner. An automobile then
rounded a corner and the negro
Jumped over fence into a field. The
party started after him,
but he escaped again by swimming
the willamette river, but was shortly
afterward captured.
Sheriff Grant and Deputy District
Attorney j. Il. Sibley went to Salem
this afternoon and are expected to re-
turn with Majors this evening,

Salem is concerned over the allega-
tion that the state house grounds are
made the rendezvous, at night, for
various members Of the younger set
Of both sexes, and that stunts of a
questionable character are the result.
The other night Secretary of State
Olcott made a gumshoe investigation
and found several things that didn u
look good to him, and he routed out
the youthful Laffertys and Lafferty-
esses in rapid order. An agitation
for more light in the state house park
is now on, in the belief that the de-
struction Of the shadows will put an
end to clandestine courtships and the
of sundry bottles of the hop
product, many of which have been
found to strew the lawns in the morn
ing. More light is certainly needed
n Salem, but there are people who
insist that it should be in the capitol
building rather than outside thereof.
