EAST MAIN ST. GIRL
 VICTIM OF ASSAULT
Theresa sheehan, Seven, Claims Stranger Lure,i Her Under Freight
 Car Early Last Evening.

Even while the Newington authori- ties are securing this section for the unknown dastard who is alleged to have crilninally assaulted three year old girl in that town the local police have on their hands 8 similar case, just as brutal and fully as re- volting. Theresa, the seven years old daughter of John Sheehan of 1s6 East Main street, claims to have been as- saulted by strange man under t freight car just before the storm early last evening.
 The girls father visited Chief Raw lings at police headquarters at ,10:30 o'clock last evening and appraised him of the details and this m orning the girl took Detective Sergeant Ban,- orth to the place where she claims she was assaulted
 Theresa says that between and o'clock yesterday afternoon tall, slender man dressed in grayish clothes accosted her in front of Main street store. He induced her to walk with him and then lured her down Com mercial street, past the police sta- tion, to the railroad tracks where she says he dragged her under a car. Dr. J. E. Martin examined the girl and finds that her condition substantiates her story. The girls description of her asSaliant is none too accurate and she insists that he had been drinking.
 Several people, however, saw the man and the little girl as they. walked down Main and Commercial streets and have furnished the authorities with description, but the case seems a baffling one as the unknown assail- ant had ample opportunity to leave the city before the police were in- formed of the crime.

TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
 ON ISONzO RIVER
Thousands Killed in Fighting
 Along Austro-ltaian Frontier

Correspondents Of the Associated Press)
 Berlin, July 21.-Attacks that in bit terness and determination began de- scription, losses that run into the thousands, desperate, heroic useless infantry assaults following hour-long artillery fire, have, characterized the terrible struggle between the Italian and Austrian forces along the lower Isonzo river.
 When the war shall have ended it is doubtful whether Neuve Chapelle and Ypres will stand out more grimly terrible than some of the bloody bat ties of early July along the Ausuro- Italian frontier.

TWO LITTLE LADS WHO
SLEPT IN A SHED

An interesting pair of boys made an
interesting case for Judge Lancaster at
the municipal court Tuesday afternoon
The courts sympathy was plainly with
the two little fellows brought before him
and he directed a good measure of satire
toward the father of the boys when he
appeared to claim them The boys were
Percy and Ernest Michaud. aged and
wears respectively, sons Of Octave Mi
chaud of Is Court street.
Police headquarters were notified Tues
day morning that the boys did not come
home Monday night and were still miss
ing. Not long afterwards Mrs. kervin
Hanks of Maple street notified headquar-
tiers that TWO boys were at her home
taking down a tent. An officer went
after them and upon his arrival learned
that the adventures had taken down
the tent, placed il in a cart which they
had borrowed indefinitely. and would
have made off with it had they not been
intercepted.
They were poorly dressed. one shod
with shoes which had caused his feet TO
become so sore that he walked with
pain The father was sent for and upon
his arrival the boys were placed before
him They Immediately covered their
eyes with their arms and began to cry.
See how happy they are to see their
father" said Judge Lancaster. Question
ed by the court, the father said that he
is a shingle sawyer working by the
lob" and makes from $50 to s35 a week
and that Sundays and evenings he drives
a public automobile. He said that his
son Leo. age IS. is now working with
him, saving him 50 a week for helper.
"A clean saving" remarked the Judge.
Herman II. Stuart, superintendent Of
schools, was present and informed Mr..
Michaud that the son Leo must be sent
to school in the future instead of work
ing with him. Judge Lancaster admon-
ished the father to take better care OF
his children; TO keep them in school,
clothe them properly, and see that they
are in their own bed at night. The boys
slept in a shed Monday night a long
way from home and were not missed un-
til the father went TO their room Tues
day morning to call his 13-year-old son
and helpmate Leo. The court finally
told the boys that with the permission
of City Marshal HARDWOOD they might go
TO the place you call home" The city
marshal gave his permission for the
BOYS to go upon condition that the father
take proper care of them. Il always
intend to take care of Them said Mr..
Michaud, but they won't stay in
school," Judge Lancaster patted the
curly headed 6-year-old on the shoulder
smoothed back a straying lock of hair,
and said he didn't want them to be whip
ped when they reached home but to be
given a supper. cleaned up, and cared
for properly in the future.
