TELLS TERRIBLE STORY

Fairfield, May 7.-Authorities today
are conducting rigid Investigation OF
the case of Mrs Helen Messett, 10
wears old. who awakened neighbors IN
The middle of the night and frantically
told of having been attacked by a
regro whom she declared had entered
her home while she was sleeping.
Friends Of the aged woman immed-
lately notified the police who are said
to have given little credence to the
story because Of the old woman age
and known mental weakness. An IN
vestigation was begun, however, and
several prominent physicians were
called and made an examination after
which it was announced that evidence
of brutal treatment were found. An
other examination was conducted later
but authorities declined to make any
announcement other than that sensa-
tional developments may follow.
The aged woman, though nearly
blind, declares that she can positively
identify her assailant.

MUSCATINE TEACHERS
GET $50 INCREASE

Muscatine, May THE annual cleo
ton of teachers and the addition of $50
to the yearly stipend Of every grade
teacher and principal, featured the
meeting Of the board Of education last
evening. The selection of teachers,
with the one exception, was entirely
harmonious. No changes of any i'm
portance were made. Several vacan-
cies, resultant from promotions made
at previous meeting necessitated sew
eral transfers but the personnel Of
the various grade schools was left
pra ctically intact.
A petition signed by every teacher
in Muscatine. requesting the board to
increase their respective salaries $3.50
per year, was presented. 1t was
pointed out that by granting such an
increase the board would facy heavy
deficit at the end of the school year
It was the unanimous sentiment OF the
directors that their wage per annum
should be made more substantial and
compromise was made without any
argument on an increase OF $50.

north side caused by striking news
paper wagon drivers and news boys.
Two wagons loaded with newspapers
We're overturned and the harness cut
from the horses before the arrival Of
the police. A crowd of several hundred
was attracted but nobody was injured.
Morning newspapers today carry
statement addressed to the public and
presenting review of the trouble
since its inception. The statement ex-s
plains that neither wages nor hours
are involved in the pressmen's griev-
ance, hut that the entire dispute arose
over the insistence Of the union that
more men be employed on presses in
the Examiner office than were worked
on presses of the same or similar kind
in other newspaper offices. The further
statement is made that the union re-
fused to arbitrate the question. The
strikes Of the stereotypers, newsboys
and delivery wagon drivers which fol-
lowed the trouble with the pressnen
are sympathetic, it is explained.
