VIOLA POSSE PURSUES
MORON CHILD ATTACKER

Armed with guns, clubs, axes, ropes
and pitchforks, posses under the
direction of Sheriff Sprye and Dist.
Atty. Brindley of Richland county,
searched all day Saturday and Sunday
for the assailant of Ruth Barley, II,
daughter of Dayton Barkley, Viola
farmer.
The attack took place Friday Ac-
cording to the child's testimony, she
with her younger brother, Joe, was
going to school about o'clock. Ruth
dropped behind the other children.
She says she was suddenly confronted
by a bearded man of about 45 years
who stified her screams and left her
apparently dead Recovering con-
seriousness she dragged herself to the
roadside where a passerby discovered
her. She was taken to Viola and
given medical attention Her pitiful
story followed.
The countryside was quickly alarmed
and the search started Bloodhounds
came from Mauston and took up the
trail of the refugee through swamps
and thick woods. Each acre contained
a hundred hiding places. One trail
led toward Muscoda south of Viola
1t is thought the moron boarded a
train there.
Hold Racine Suspect
On Sunday little. Ruth identified
Frank Roach, alias Frank Lang, of
Racine, as her assailant. Roach, "a
years, was picked up late Saturday by
the Racine police He was selected
out of eight prisoners as the one who
attacked the child. 1t is considered
probable that he will never face trial
as he is believed to be insane. He
was discharged from the army at Fl
Worth, Texas, a few months ago
Roach evidenced no emotion when
identified The girls story is that she
was struck over the head by piece
of wood. A velvet cap che wore prob
ably saved her life.

David I'll. King Estate
Lots Will Be Sold To-day
Property Directly on City Line,
Although, Actually Located
in Xonkers

The realty holdings of the late David
II. King jr, comprising al lots and q
dwelling situated between Van Cort-
landt Park and Hill View Reservoir,
Yonkers, viii be disposed Of by Joseph
p Day and j. Clarence Davies at noon
to-day on the premises The sale will
be continued on Monday in the Vesey
Street salesroom. The property is di-
rectly on the line Of the City Of New
York, though actually located in Yon-
kers. The tract is on high ground and
large portion of it is wooded. Through
the center extends Mclean Avenue,
upon which operates trollev line con-
Meeting Yonkers with the Wakefield
section.
In speaking Of the sale, Messrs. Da-
vies and Day said yesterday: THE
wave of price readjustment which is
sweeping over the country will have
most beneficial results. Prices of all
commodities, with the exception of
vacant land have risen 100 per cent to
2O0 per cent over normal prices. In
cluded in these increases were all
classes of building Materials This
factor alone was sufficient to curb
building activity, except in isolated
cases where costs did not particularly
enter into the situation Building
prices are now on the downward trend.
Labor is becoming more stabilized, and
is easier obtained than a few months
since. All of these conditions point
to resumption of building. and those
who are fortunate enough to purchase
lots at the coming King estate auction
sale should find themselves in an en-
viable position, because when building
is resumed vacant lots must rise in
value as the demand Increases from
