Held on Assault Charge.

Dothan, Ala, March 1S.-TWo
young white men, one named Mimms
and the other Davis, are under arrest
at Chancellor, Ala, charged with as
saulting and robbing young Wo-
man, "a years old on Saturday night
according to information received
here to-day.
The victim had been left at home
by her husband Saturday night while
he attended lodge meeting. She
says that soon after he left she heard
a knock on the door, opened it and
was struck a heavy blow on the head
The men, it is alleged, after tying the
woman, assaulted her, afterwards
ransacking the house and securing a
number of valuables.
When the husband returned home
he secured a posse and bloodhounds
and the trail led to the Mimms home
He was arrested. Davis was later
taken into custody and both were
identified by the victim. They were
then removed to the Geneva county
Jail.
