SLEEPING GIRL

Miss Levey Miller and Sister
Battle With Powerful Man
Trying to Pull Woman
From Window.

Miss Lcvey Miller. 22-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Mil
Ter, 8lo South Sixth street, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, yesterday morning was
awakened by being violently pulled
through the window. Miss Mil
ler's sister, IS years old, sleeping
with her, was awakened at the time.
The screams of the two girls and
the vigorous fight they put up
frightened the powerful man who
had seized the sleeping girl and he
fled after he had dragged her half
way through the window.
The bedchamber is on the ground
floor and the bed was drawn close
to the window. The elder sister
was sleeping next to the open win
dow. Her assailant removed the
screen without awakening the girls.
Miss Miller was aroused when the
man roughly seized her by the
shoulders, and he had dragged her
half way out when her sister was
awakened. The younger girl in
stinctively threw her arms around
her sister and both began to scream
and struggle with the man. Their
screams aroused the parents sleep
ing in the adjoining room, but be-
fore Mr.. Miller could reach them
the man had broken away and
fled.
In the darkness the girls could
only see the outlines of powerful
man and they could not tell whether
he was white or black.
Police searched the neighborhood
but found no trace of the man.
On account of feeling i'll Miss
Miller had retired shortly after 8
o'clock. Her sister had gone to a
theater and did not return until mid
night and Miss Miller was awakened
when she came in. The sister spoke
of seeing shadow pass the bed
room window as she entered the
room. The girls spoke of calling
their father but did not do so. Miss
Miller sustained number of bruises
and scratches but was not otherwise

Rarely is a vaudeville show pre-

week at the Orpheum. The bill

being Blossom Seeley, who appears

Grossman, Lynch and Lopez. An
other is the concert number pre-
scented by the Italian tenor, Cicco-

lads in English. Nothing on the
bill is more pleasing than the one
act play, The Tale of a Shirt by
Erwin and Jane Connolly.
If you are wise enough to attend
the show at the Gayety this week
aud you hear the introductory music
of the song Room 202" played by
the orchestra, you may be tempted
to heave a sigh and say: what,

the first two shows of the season,
