dred, the 15-year-oid daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. r. C. Hudson, 1927 Eleventh
avenue, Sunday night shortly before
9 o'clock, but thus far no trace of the
man has been found. Only the prompt
work OF two citizens prevented an as
sault.
The Hudson girl was riding a BIZ
cycle along Tenth avenue and had
reached an alley just east of Twelfth
street, when a masked man leaped
on; and jerking her off the bicycle
dragged her into the dark alley. The
girl had presence of mind enough to
scream and the cries attracted the at
tention of two men who were standing
across the street at the time, but who
had not witnessed the attack because
of the darkness.
The men rushed into the alley and
the assailant took to his heels He
was pursued for two or three blocks
but managed to make a getaway. The
girl described her assailant as a tall,
dark complexioned man.

man Last Seen Alive on Thurs
day Night.

1t is confidently believed by the
authorities that the mystery surround
ing the killing of Basil Martens, the
South Rock Island dairyman, will be
cleared in a short time and that the
slayer will be in custody before an
other "a hours have elapsed. Acting
in conjunction with the police, Sheriff
o. L. Bruner has taken personal
charge of the investigation. Yesterday
the sheriff spent the greater part of
the day at the Coyne farm and thor
oughly went over the ground. Coro-
ner Meyer and Assistant States At
torney Edwards also visited the spot
where the murdered man was found.
They questioned neighbors, but when
they returned to the city, confessed
themselves completely at sea.
ON MAN HUNT.
Acting on a. red hot tip, Sheriff Bru-
ner and a number of policemen char
tered an automobile this afternoon
and started On a man hunt. Their
destination was carefully concealed,
but they claim TO have absolute knowl-
edge as to the identity of the murderer
and expect to land him before morn
ing.
The states attorneys Office this
morning admitted an error as 10 the
time at which Martens was last sup
posed to have been seen alive. In
stead of Tuesday it was Thursday
night Martens was seen in a saloon
on Twentieth street between First and
Second avenues, late Thursday night.
This would preclude all possibility of
Martens having been slain at the rear
of the Boeihart saloon on Seven.

early Thursday morning, whereas Mar
