NEW SHARON LADY ASSAULTED.
The Assailant Caught and Identified
& But Denies His Guilt.

Mrs. Vim. j. Fredericks, aged
about 26 years, residing at New Sha-
ron, was brutally assaulted Monday
afternoon by a masked white man.
1t was shortly after O'Clock when
the unknown man confronted Mrs.
Fredericks at the door, demanding to
know the whereabouts of her hus-
band. Fearing trouble, she said he
was nearby, whereupon the man at
tackled her, and in the ensuing scuffie
she was rendered unconscious
Mr.. Fredericks at the time of the
assault was engaged in transporting
pupils from the Pitman school to their
homes, and on his return, the proper
authorities were notified, and the
search for the assailallt begun. The
masked man evidently knew Of the
absence of her husband else it is un-
likely he would have run the risk Of
being discovered in the house.
Mrs. Fredericks is severely bruised
as a result of the tusel with the man.
Owing to his wearing a mask, she was
unable to get a glimpse at his fea-
tures, but she saw he was white
man.
Suspicion was directed to William
Collins, the 17-year-old son of near
neighbor. Last night Sheriff Allen
and deputy A. w Cattell went to the
Collins home, took the young man be-
fore Mrs. Fredericks, who at once
identified him as her assailant, and
he was at once placed in Woodbury.
Jail.

pany is willing to aid them.

of Agriculture, who is at the head of
the movement, has listed as the corps

Walsh Estate Store a Beautiful Scene

The big store of the Philip j. Walsh
Estate, at Second Street, below Market
Street has been converted into a verit
able holiday shop, and the management
is making especial efforts to meet the
requirements of purchasers not only
in the almost limitless variety OF
goods offered, but in the easy weekly
and monthly credit system of the
house.
Their announcement for the Christ
mas season, Year by year we have
noticed that the selection of holiday
gifts is changing from the less useful
to the practical" is an interesting
side-light on the tendencies of holiday
trade.
Taking this tendency in mind, and
with the policy, This is the store that
saves you money! the holiday stock,
fresh and moderately priced, includes
everything from toys and jewelry to
clothing and furniture.
A visit through the big store is alone
worth while, just to see the variety of
gifts that are suggested for giving at
the holidays. Everything is shown
that can be given to men and women,
boys and girls, and even TO babies.
The toy department includes all of the
latest novelties, while the jewelry de-

COUNTY COURTS.
Civil and Criminal Cases,

session OF the County Courts was
held on Tuesday to dispose of several
cases on the calendar of the October
term and some in criminal cases.
The first case tried was that of
Franklin Turk "a merchant of Evan.
against VIM. Eckbold's Sons, to re-
cover on promissory note for $152.37
given by the defendants to the plain
tiff on account of purchase at his
public sale on Feb. II, last The de-
PENDANTS refused to pay. because. they
alleged, several hogs bought did not
prove to be as represented. The de-
PENDANTS claimed that the plaintiff
guaranteed the sows to be gentle and
good mothers whereas they proved to
be vicious and ate their off springs as
soon as born.
All this Mr.. Turk denied and his
testimony was supported by Ben.
James, the auctioneer.
Mr.. Swackhanler represented Turk.
and Mr.. Redfeld, the defendants.
The jury promptly rendered YER
dict in favor of Turk for the full
amount of the note with interest.
Anton Carine, indicted for sale of
liquor at Willamstown, was discharg-
ed, because all the States witnesses
denied buying liquor there.
The first case tried at the afternoon
session was that OF the State v. Tony
Green and Pasquale Araroni, for afro
cious assault on James Hickey. All
three men were laborers in the rail-
road gang, and on Oct. 16, were at
the GlassbogO station waiting to go to
Sewe1l. Araroni attacked Hickey, bit
off portion of his ear and stabbed
him in the back with a stiletto Green
rushed at Hickey with shovel which
Hickey took from him. Both Italians
then left and Hickey was taken to the
hospital where he was confined a
week, and was kept from work for a
month. Araroni was admitted to bail
in the sum of $1,000, and has not
since been seen. Ernest Redfield was
counsel for Green and directed his eff
fort to show that Green was really a
peace maker in the fracas. While
there was some evidence of this kind,
the weight seemed to be that Green
while couselling peace, rushed at
Hickey with an uplifted shovel at a
critical time when the fight was on.
D. H. Mumford is named as surety
in Araroni's bail bond of $1,000 but he
is indemnified by bond It's said.
The contentious of our foreign pop
uation had the boards in court on
Tuesday. and the evidence proves that
these strangers in strange land do
not dwell together in a spirit of broth
erly love.
Much of the testimony was repeated
through an interpreter, and lacked
general interest.
Louis Music was acquitted of a
charge of assault and battery. He
was represented by Senator Avis.
Antoine Carew, of Monroe, charged
with keeping speak-easy, was dis
charged, as; all the States witnesses
denied having their thirst slaked at
his place.
Daniel Kennedy, Paulsboro, eharg-
ed with assault and battery on Annie
Corson, was adjudged guilty as to the
former and not guilty as to the latter
Nick Domanick was adjudged not
guilty of shooting at one of his coun-
trymen.
The two young attorneys, Beckley
and Miller, conducted the defence in
several of the cases, and did good
work for their first clients.

SMALL MANUFACTURING PLANTS

Most great things have small begin
nings. 1t was the observance OF ths
fact no doubt, that gave rise TO the
ancient dictum: "Despise not the day
of small things" For instance, A.
NJ. college opened in 1876 with less
than a hundred students and few, II
anv believed then that it would ever
grow to be what it is now. Every ola
citizen can remember the humble be-
ginnings &C the great mercantile
houses, the banks, the schools and the
churches. The Eagle, which now mas
a plant that ELECTS the admiration oil
all visitors and is now as firmly estao-
nshed as any of the institutions OF
BRYAN. had feeble and precarious eN-
istence for many years.
The Eagle has often emphasized the
fact that Bryan possesses very supe-
rior advantages as a location Tor sew
eral kinds of small manufacturing es-
Establishments. in addition to those al
ready in successful operation Inc
essentials for manufacturing are ra"
materials. fuel, water, labor and a
market. OF these Bryan and BrazoS
county possess all to an extent SUM-
cient for installing and proftably OPP
Grating small plants that would nat
urally, by the process OF eVoluIioh'
develop into larger ones.
The kinds of manufacturing estap'
lisbments that would be most pronr
able are. of course, those for when
the source of supply of raw materiai
is near at hand and can be relied on
When the local supply is sufficient to
keen the plant in operation the eN
pense of buying agents ana lrelsh'
charges are eliminated. 1t is this ina
has caused the cotton gins. the com
nrass and the oil mill to be located
here.
The next consideration is a mar

nnt the expense of a selling force Is
saved. leaving only the operating eX-
penses to be provided for.
That Bryan is losing many thou
sands of dollars every year by ship
ming in products that could be prod
uced here is unquestionable. every
purchaser of a pound of creamery
hutter of canned fruits and vegeta-
bles. of packery products, of peanut
oil and butter, of brooms and many
other things pays tribute which goes
to swell the profits of manufacturers
and transportation lines that have no
interest in Bryan.
Another great advantage would De
in the creation of home market
that would encourage the farmers TO
Diversity and thereby multiply their
chances for producing successful
crops every year. The farmers have
demonstrated by their exhibits III
Rrvan. at College and at the great
state fairs that all kinds of agrlcul
tural. horticultural and orchard proc
ucts pertaining to climate the mos
favorable in the world for diversity
can be produced in Brazos county le

HUNTING OPENINGS FOR INVEST
MENTS.

Recently a retired business man, |
now capitalist of large means VINO
made his money in Bryan, made trip
into West Texas looking for openings
for investment. He bought brick
business house in Brentwood, Dut
whether he found anything else worth
buving we do not know. That he has
IA legal right to spend or invest MS
money where he pleases is unquestion-
able. But has he or any other man
the moral right to do so? In the pres
ent state of public opinion in regard
TO moral standards a majority per-
hans, would say that he has Dut the
question is at least debatable.
But if this gentleman could ne con
WINGED that he can invest his money
at home more profitably, as prudent
man of affairs he would of course DO
so That there are many advantages
in home investments is self-eVldeht'

TO be a large. preponderance OF prohl
in an outside venture. In rev III
stances this may be the case put
they are exceptional.
( The greatest advantage IN an III
vestment at home is that it helps 10
make more valuable the holdings one
already has, especially if the invest
ment be in the line of developing new
sources of wealth On this subject

some suggestions that may be applleu
here by simply substituting Bryan Tor

of being shown through the manual
training department of the Eastside

found this new feature of the school
work proving to be most valuable
addition to the course of instruction
and training.
