NEGRO ASSA|LANT 0F YOUNG WHITE
 GIRL DEMENTED
Black Confesses After Ar rest Wednesday by the
 Constable's Dept.

Bell Holloway, negro, about 21 or 22 years of age, will be taken to the state insane asylum at Little Rock this morning as 8 result of an ex- animation into his mental condition by Dr. H. E. Williams, who pronounced him insane
 Holloway, by his own confession to Eeputy Prosecuting Attorney E. w. Broadway, had been guilty of criminal iy assaulting a 14-year-old white girl last Thursday morning, just outside the southwestern limits of the city. The circumstances, as related by the negro, were so blood -curdling. that every effort was made by the officers to keep the matter quiet until the in- vestigation was concluded and the negro placed in safety
 The negro's arrest Wednesday aft ernoon was the outcome of complaint by the girls mother that the girl had bee nassaulted while on her way to school last Thursday morning, the negro succeeding in making away with the girls lunch after the girl fought and struggled against him. The more serious part of the affair came through the negro's own statement to MT. Brockman after he was arrested on description furnished by the girl.
 MT. Brockman, Constable Clint Green, Justice of the Peace Cliff c. Brewster and Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger delved thoroughly into the case yesterday. The girl identified the negro as the man who had at to hoy k,,t serious charge than an attempt at an assault When tine examination of the negro disclosed his weak and danger ous mentality, it was decided to send him to the state asylum, and he will be taken there this morning by Dep uty Sheriff E. H. Verret.

GERMAN CREW 0f RAIDER DESTROY
 VESSEL AT SEA Fearing Capture by British Cruiser Prize Ship
 Blown Up.
BELIEVED BOAT
 WAS THE MOEWE
Dispatch From Madrid Indicates That the WeStburn Raided as the MOeWe After Famous Raider
 Was Put Out of Action.

London, Feb. 24-The career of the British steamer Westburn, which put into the Canary islands yesterday, in charge of a German prize crew, has been ended in a highly dramatic man. ner.
 She was taken out of the harbor by her German crew today and blown up within sight of British cruiser, which was lying in wait to recapture her.
 Dispatches to the Times indicate that the exploit of the Westburn's s German crew was fully as remarkable as that of the prize crew which brought the steamer Appam into New port News.
 The 'Westburn landed her 206 pris- oners before she was taken out to sea and destroyed. As the Westburn was still inside of Spanish territorial wat CTS, the British cruiser was unable to interfere. The Spanish authorities had notified the captain that if he interned, the ship would be turned over to the British authorities.
 A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Madrid says that when the Vest burn was captured, her name was changed to the Moewe, and that the original German raider named the Moewe was then sunk This action was taken, the dispatch says, because the original Moewe had been badly damaged.

ANDERSON ADMITS
 KILLING BANKER AT CLARkSDALE
Negro Who Burglarized Pine Bluff Homes Makes
 Full Confession.

Frank Anderson, negro, sentenced to terms aggregating IS years for burglaries committed in Pine Bluff during the winter, has confessed to the murder of A. H. Cage, cashier of a bank at Clarksdale, Miss, for the arrest and conviction of whose slayer rewards. aggregating $1,500, arc out standing.
 News of Anderson's confession was brought to Pine Bluff last night by Deputy Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett, who was the first local official to suspect Anderson of complicity in the Clarks- dale crime. The negro's confession came after hours of questioning by Deputy McBurnett,, District Attorney Dan Brewer of Clarksdale, Detective O'Havas of Memphis and Detectives Lewis and Pitcock of Little Rock, who examined the negro in the Little Rock police station. The admission was wrung from the black only after every falsehood he conceived to hide his connection with the murder had been torn down.
 Anderson weakened when, after hours of interrogation, during which he steadfastly maintained he had never been to Clarksdale, he was con- fronted by Clarksdale negro-a youth with a wooden leg.
 Hello, MT. Frank" said the boy.
 Anderson lost his presence of mind :, Hello, Peg" he said. What are you doing shere?"
 "When did you leave Clarksdale? parried the negro boy.

 Quiet on East Front
 Bogdanow, Russia, Feb. 20, via Ber- lin, Feb. A-Quiet prevails along this sector of the eastern frontier. The Russians are sitting silent in their trenches. However, they are watch ing the German lines closely, and no commotion on the western side es- capes their attention.
 A small band of American corre- spondents thus drew the Russian fire today, just as Prince Oscar was tar get for Russian shrapnel a few days ago.
 The projectiles crashed into the tun- nel roofs, but sailed to penetrate, send ing only a few splinters inside. The Americans were imprisoned by the debris, but were soon released.

French Military Critics Hold That Of- senSiN tgmin"t Serdun German Effort to Farcstail Great
 AIIiei Offensive in Spring.

Paris. Feb 24.--The battle of Yer dun is growing fercer hourly. The grim death struggle of nations does not halt for a single minute, night or day. as the picked troops of France and Germany are hurled in terrific attacks which succeed each other with bewildering rapidity.
 The 25-mile line presents the aspect today of colossal reptile rising Tn agony, it's eonfiguration twisting back and forth as the alternating successes and reverses of the desperate com bats are reported. So far the Germans have been unable to break the f'rench line at a single point. The most they have accomplished has been to drive back the soldiers of the republic on stronger positions, after stupenaous effort. attended by incredible losses 10 the attacking troops.
 The leading military critics de- clare that the kaiser chose the pres ent moment to launch an off fnsive in ! order to forestall the concerted of | fensive planned by the allies for the spring, in which the authorities estl- ma:e q ore than 10,000,000 troops opera ing in every theatre of wal were to co-operate and encompass Germany's imme diate downfall.
