daugh, have not disclosed their fu-
ture plans but it is generally under
stood they will locate in Coscob,

The siX-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ripper, of SO Church
street, was the victim of an attempt
ed assault by an unknown man last
Friday afternoon about four o'clock.
The little girl tells an incoherent

scription of how he looked. From

ents are making an attempt to bring
the matter before the authorities so
that an investigation can be made in
to the matter.
