 FISHERS ISLAND WOMAN.

 Attack-Assailant Not Found.

The military authorities at Fort Wright are bending every energy to | discover the young artilleryman who IS guilty of a criminal assault on Mrs. Margaret Sears, a prominent resident of Fishers Island, more than 70 years of age. Several soldiers are held on suspicion.
 The assault occurred about noon Thursday at the home of Mrs. Sears on the island. She sat near the door or the house when a young soldier walked up and inquired if teh man Of the house was in. Told that he was not the soldier sat down and began a conversation, stating that he was 19 years old and from Virginia. Ills actions caused Mrs. Sears to grow suspicious and fearing robbery of the house she got up. and attempted to wave her hand toward the home of E. B. Baker, some distance away, as signal of distress
 At this the soldier jumped upon her, threw her to the floor and choked her the same time committing criminal assault Soon after the soldier said T must beat it. and disappeared.
 Two young grandchildren, who had been powerIess to aid their grand mother, then accompanied her to the home Of MT. Baker, where she told her stor, although suffering terribly from the shock. A posse was quickly organized and a search of the vicinity made, but to no avail The military authorities were notified and leaves of absence were granted only to sol diers above suspicion Every boat leaving the island was watched in an effort to apprehent the Culprit. A cast of the footprints left by the soldier in the sand was made and will probably assist in His detection.
 Mrs. Sears is one of the most re- spected residents of the island. Her late husband was a veteran of the civil war. Her son. William, was mate and pilot on one of the Fishers Island boats for years, and Emery, another son, was fireman. Another son, Laf- eyede, and his wife, make their home with her, but both were away at the time the assault took rlace.
