sixty days, but the work has been
pushed with surprising dispatch. The
rest will be comparatively easy.
Everything is brand new and the
bedrooms are furnished beautifully
Prof. ]. W. Gaines has secured

GIRL bound
AND ASSAULTED
sl6-Year-oId Daughter OF Farmer At
tackled On Road On Way
.f3 To School.

Georgetown, KY, Sept. 2.--Armec
posses are going from every part Of
Scott county tonight to the hills In
the northern part of the county in
search of the unidentified masked
white man who this morning seized
and assaulted Miss Stella C. Vance
16-year-old girl, after he had wired
her to tree and to rocks, bound he1
hands and gagged her.
Miss Vance, the daughter of Henry
Vance, wealthy farmer, on the In
dian creek pike, fifteen miles north
of Georgetown, is the prettiest girl
in that section and an accomplished
musician.
She was walking on the road on
her way to school this morning when
masked white man stepped from
behind mound, grabbed her and
carried her short distance from the
road. That his plan was laid in ad-
vance was shown by the fact that
wires already had been attached to a
tree and rocks. Her hands were tied
behind her and her mouth gagged.
A farmer was working in barn
twenty-five yards away.
After the man escaped, the gir,,
extricated herself and, still gagged
and her hand tied, went to the house
of neighbor nearby. Georgetown
authorities were at once notified.
Sheriff Nunnelly, Deputies McFar-
land and Bricoe, County Judge Ian-
caster, Chief of Police Salyers and
County Attorney Ford at once start
ed for the scene. Capt Milligan's
bloodhounds arrived from Lexington
at IL o'clock and took the trail into
the hills, where a piece of blue cali
co the man had used for mask was
found.
The dogs are still on the trail In
the meantime indignant citizens from
every part Of Scott county are head
ed toward the hills and threats of lyn-
ching are made openly.
The girl was tree-quarters of a
mile from home, about half way to
school, when the man leaped from
behind the mound he had improvised
from mown grass and rubbish. She
said he wore blue work shirt, green
coat, brown trousers and soft hat
which held in place the mask of blue
calico.

SUMMARY OF WEATHER
AND CROP CONDITIONS
IN TENNESSEE

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct "a
Railfall and cloudiness continued
with but little interruption during
the first four days Of the week, while
sunshine was more or less general
during the last two or three days.
The week as a whole was moderately
warm, although there were two days
Of cool weather. The ground was too
wet to plow and very little farm work
was done until the last day or two.
Sufficient moisture was received in
all parts of the State and conditions
are now good for further sowing Of
wheat, oats, and rye. These grains
where already sown are terminating
well. Pastures have taken on new
growth and late corn and vegetables
were greatly benefited by the rains.
The weather was mostly unfavorable
for cotton, except for top growth.
There was but little harvesting Of
crops during the week.
