ASSAULT ON LITTLE GIRL
COMMITTED AT SILVERTON

The six-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Lyons was criminally assault
ed few nights ago by some unknown
brute when she was going to her home
on Liberty Hill.
According to her statement young
man, whom she says she would recog-
nize if seen again, and who is supposed
to live in the country near here, over
took the little girl on Main street.Tak-
ing her in his arms he carried the child
part way up the hill, and when in front
of the residence Of P. L. Blackerby he
sat down upon the steps, holding her
on his lap. At this time is when he is
said to have committed the assault.
When the little girl began to cry he let
her go and disappeared in the darkness.
The little girl has told of the circum-
stance to different parties who ques-
toned her, and each time told the same
story. She gave very good description
of the criminal and the police officers
are on the lookout, hoping to apprehend
him and make him pay the penalty. If
he lives in this vicinity, as is supposed,
he is likely to be found, as the girl is
certain that she can identify him among
others. He is supposed to have been a
young man about eighteen years of age.
Mrs. Lyons is said to be terribly
broken down regarding the startling af-
fair and is almost prostrate on account
of Worry.-Tribune.

France, Germany and Italy there has
been a great increase of home work on
government contracts, with it's GUS

High wages for boys in unskilled oc-

England.
The most general loosening of re-

and Sunday work. There has also
been a lowering of the age require
