WOMEN HUNTING
ASSA|LANT Of
AGED MAN
Oakland City Resident FeIIed
With Spade by Youth Threat
ening Neighbor.

Mrs. sallie Folger and Mrs. J. n.
Rich, of Hoods Drive, Oakland City,
were aiding the police Thursday in a
search for Clarence Todd, 30 years
old, a former employee Of the Excel
sior Laundry Company, who threat
ened to kill Mrs. Folger If she did not
dismiss case of assault and battery
that is pending against him, and who
assaulted and almost killed Mrs
Richs husband.
Mr.. Rich, 1t Is understood, is I'M
conscious at his home, No. 16 Hoods
Drive, and 1t is considered doubtful
whether he will live.
The assault was witnessed by Mrs
Rich and her two small children, who
pursued Todd for several blocks after
he had struck the aged man over the
head with a spade, tearing open his
scalp and, tits feared, fracturing the
skull.
Received Threat in Letter
According to stories told Policemen
Ryan and Head by Mrs. Folger, she
twice has been threatened by Todd
ago. Late Wednesday afternoon, she
said she received a letter from Todd
written on the stationery of a down
town hotel, in which he said he would
tell her for the last time to with
draw the charges against him or take
the consequences"
Mrs. Folger says she proba bly, will
get a peace warrant against him, as
she fears he will kill her.
The assault on Mr. Rich is an out
growth of the trouble Todd had with
Mrs. Folger. Until two weeks ago
he boarded at the Folger home. and
one night about two weeks ago he
came home on the same street car
that carried Mrs. Folger and her
daughter, Miss Irene Folger.
He walked home with them, but
when they were within a few doors
of their house he suddenly attacked
Mrs. Folger and had severely beaten
her before neighbors arrived on the
scene. He was arrested and held for
the Grand Jury in bonds of $1,000 on
a charge of assault and battery.
Flees to Neighbours Home.
Tuesday night Mrs. Folger says,
Todd came to her home and told her
If she did not withdraw the charges
he would kill her. She ran out of
IeT NOME anu went 10 MT. ISlCfl )
house for protection, and Todd fol-
lowed, entering the Rich home. de-
spite the commands of Mrs. Rich that
he stay out
Mrs. Folger ran into a room where
Mr.. Rich, VIII is so years old, sat
playing with his children. She asked
Mr.. Rich to protect her, and the lat
ter ordered Todd out of the house.
Todd, Infatuated, seized a spade that
rested against the fireplace and struck
Mr. Rich on the head, inflicting a Sc
riOuS wound.
Rich dropped unconscious to the
floor, and Todd ran from the house
with the two children and Mrs. Rich
in pursuit. He easily eluded them
and escaped.
Chief Beavers has issued a general
order to the police department for the
arrest of Todd, and a specific charge
of assault with intent to murder has
been doCketed against him.

presented at Mount Rainier Christian
Church by Frank Morrison, secretary

trade unionism and Christianity for
centuries past went hand in hand and
are doing so now
AS a proof for his assertion that
there were trade unions in Christs
time, the speaker referred to the
Catholic customs of eating fish on
Friday, which, 'he said, was created
by resolution of the ''fishermen's
union"

pleasant tasting vegetable liquid are
enough and all druggists give personal
guarantee that every bottle will do all
that is claimed for 1t. Money back in any
case where il fails.

similar to Dodson's Liver Tone-and
are in same color package. These imi-
tations are not guaranteed and may be
very harmful. Go TO any dealer and

said grape juice contained from six to
seven per cent alcohol and was more
Intoxicating than three or four per
cent beer.
