ATTACK ON MRS.
DREXEL MYSTERIOUS

Bangor. Maine. July 2s.--Newspaper
men who tried today to get further
details of the attack made upon Mrs,
G.. w. G.. Drexel at North Isieborn
saturday afternoon were told at the
Drexei home that no member of the
household had anything to say on the
subject. and every person employed
about the extensive estate maintained
profound secrecy. Mrs. Drexei seems
TO have fully recovered from her
slight Injuries and bad fright. and this
noon was entertaining guests a,
luncheon.
Many runors are circulated al
fsIeslporo concerning the affair. which
is taking on the aspect of a gnea,
mystery, The reports that the sheriffs
OF Waldo. Knox and Hancock Coun-
ties. and all the police officers OF sur
rounding towns, had been notified to
be on the watch for Mrs. Drexeis
assailant. Is untrue. no complaint hav-
ing been made to any officer On the
contrary, every effort has been made
TO avoid publicity. and this greatly
puzzles the people of the island. who
are wondering how such an assault,
could be made In the day time and the
assailant get away unnoticed.
Mrs. Drexel described the man who
pushed her over the high bank at the
Lookout as of under medium height
swarthy and generally resembling an
Italian. There are no Italians on the
island. which constitutes the town oil
Islesboro. and all the dark skinned
natives are both tall and highly re-
