YOUNG WHITE GIRL HELD
UP BY A NEGRO BRUTE.
Miss Maize WoolfOrd, Victim of At
tempted Assault in the Darkness
of Compromise ST.

The city police officials are making
a diligent effort today to apprehend a
negro man, who, it is alleged attempt
to assault Maize Woolford, a young
white woman, daughter of Mr.. Will
lam Woolford, living on Compromise
street.
Miss Woolford, according to the in
formation given tot the police was at
tackled shortly before IL o'clock. She
says she was returning to her home at
the time. Not far from her home, Miss
Woolford says the nergo accosted her,
and dragged her into an alleyway.
She struggled with the brute, all the
while making loud outcries for help.
This apparently frightened her assail-
ant who disappeared in the darkness.
Miss Woolford's hair and clothing
were much disarranged. She imme-
diately reported the affair to the police
station. Shortly afterwards, three
negroes were picked up by officers.
They were taken before Miss Wool
ford, but neither of them proved to be
the man who attacked her.
Miss Woolford furnished a good de-
scription of her assailant, to the police
who are making a vigorous investiga-
tion today.

TWO BAD NEGROES
SENT TO THE GUT
Justice Minnick Furnishes Notorious
Characters.
ONE ASSAULTED FILIPINO.
Eugene and William Boston, Brothers,
Habitually Disorderly, Get 3 Years
and 6 Months, Respectively.

When Police Justice VIM. F. Min
nick, on Wednesday sentenced Eu-
gene Boston to a term of three years
in the Maryland House of Correction,
and on the day previous gave Eugene $
brother, William Boston, a term OF SIX
months in the same institution, he rid
the city of two of its most disorderly
colored men.
Habitually disorderly these men
have given the police officials much
trouble. Each has been arrested on
numerous occasions, and each hss
done time in in Jail, and it is also
said. the Cut" The negroes have
not only been in brawls with other
people, but also have fought among
themselves. 1t is recalled that few
months ago they engaged ina personal
encounter in a West street saloon and
when they were committed to Jail by
Justice Minnick, the police officers
were compelled to use force in order to
get them to the Calvert street prison.
The latest escapade in which
Eugene was involved occurred ten days
ago. Three of the Filipino bluejack-
cts now assigned to duty at the Naval
Academy, were passing out Northwest
street at night Boston accosted them
and demanded nickel. One of the
party told the negro he had no change,
and at that proceeded to fight. He
began his attack on Florecio Molar, a
slim fellow, struck him in the face and
broke the Islanders jaw. The natives
did not know their assailant but by
clever work on the part of Patrolman
William Boteler, and other police Off
| cials, and from the information gath
cred, Eugene Boston, was arrested.
The trial was delayed until We'd
nesday because of the condition of
the injured sailor. All three of the
bluejackets identified Boston as the
man who attacked them. The dual
charge of assault and battery and
habitual disorder was lodged against
the negro and Justice Minnick prompt
| ly sentenced him to three years in the
Cut"
On the day previous. William Boston,
was picked up by the police on a
charge of habitual disc rder and Jus.
tice Minnick gave him six months.

now has membership of over ninety
and it is growing fast every day. In
time the Stafford Chamber of Commerce
will be the biggest power for good in
the entire county and do more to make
Graham county known than any one
other single agency. Most of the mem
bers of the Stafford Chamber of Com
merce have received direct benefit
from their membership, as there has
been considerable money spent out of
this office during the past six months
and it is necessary to say that the Sec
retary would remember to give deal
to a member that would be of financial
benefit to this same member. Some
people expect to get something from
nothing, or, in other words, they think
that they can get the same benefits
from the Stafford Chamber of Commerce
without paying any dues, as those
members who are always on deck with
their monthly assessment. How long
this class of men persist in their ways
is not known, but the secretary has a
good memory and has yet to pass up a
member when there was anything doing
in his line. THIS is as it should be, other
wise there is no reward for those who
are willing to bear their share of the
burden.

Bad Check Artist
Releasedfr from Jail

Gus Garlic, who came to Solo
knoxville several months ago and
posed as the repre- sentative of the
Western Coffee Sales Co., was ar
rested Sunday by Under Sheriff
Bennett and lodged in Jail on a
charge Of passing a worthless check
on Blake & Dodson, merchants of
Solomonville.
The check was drawn for $7.35
on the Gila Valley Bank and Trust
Co., and was found to be no good,
as Garlic had no funds in the bank.
In some way. through the justice
of the peace, Garlic was let out of
Jail Monday, he having made good
to Blake & DOdson for the amount
Of the check, $7.35.
This is the strange part of the
proceedings. Passing a worthless
check is felony and the justice of
tire peace should have known this.
No compromise should have been
made between the parties and there
is likely to be trouble over the mat
ter of releasing Garlic from custody
before the case was presented to
the grand jury.

WATCHMAN OR LIGHTS

The recent robbery of the Solo.
mon Commercial Company's store
brings to mind the great necessity
for more protection to the business
section of town. This company S
store has been robbed twice and it
seems impossible to get even trace
of the thieves.
In the past few years several other
stores were robbed at night, the
robberies taking place after mid
night. when the town was in dark
ness. In no case were any arrests
made.
1t would seem that the business
men of the town would get busy on
some plan for their protection
against thieves. Either watchman
should be put on from 700 p. m. to
TOO a. M, or else some provision
should be made with the town council
and business men to have the electric
lighting plant in operation all night.
If the electric lights were on all
night, every business house could
have light burning from the time
the store closed until it opened the
next morning.
The streets could also be lighted
all night. ffording additional pro-
lection. In fact, the electric lights
would give good police service.
Something must be done for better
protection at night from thieves and
other law breakers, and it might be
a good idea for the Chamber of Com
merce to get busy in the matter and
perhaps a plan might be evolved
which would give economically the
needed police protection, either
through a Waterman or by electric
lighted streets and business houses.
