MurderOus Assault

Word reached Yale on Friday morn
ing last that Mrs. Elizabeth Paxton, of
LaPorte, Ind, had been murderously
assaulted on the streets of that city by
William j. (Zeke) Pratt, while on her
way to her work in the woolen mills.
Mrs. Paxton received a three-inch
cash across the front of the throat,
fairly deep and squarely over the lar
nyx, which did not, however, penetrate
the larnyx nor sever the large artery.
1t seems that Pratt was infatuated
with Mrs. Paxton, whom he had known
for the past three years and was in
sanely jealous of her and brooded over
her refusal of his attentions. He. is
said to haye made threats that he
would kill her.
Both Mrs. Paxton and Pratt were
former employees of the Yale WOODEN
Mills and left here in October, 1916 fol
LaPorte.

receiving and making the evening
pleasant.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with masses of flowers and Baldwin's

dancing.
Refreshments of ice cream and fancy
cakes wereserved upon the platform
by Mesdames Millen and Gillian, sisters
of Mrs. Lacy, waited upon by Misses

The evening was much enjoyed and
one long to be remembered by the par
