she had been taught, Ito keep the
snarls out" but since Claire had ad-
mired its color, she let It fly and slept
with the whole mass flung over her
pillow.
You hide its beauty when you braid
it," Claire had said, and Amy suddenly

muslin nightgown she wore, a garment
that was austere in its simplicity and
almost depTessingly modest.

little pleasure out Of life. Every

ASSAULT is ALLEGED.
Charged With Criminally Assaulting
Young Girl 13 Years Of Age.

Corbet Crosby was committed to
Jail on Saturday by Sheriff Alderman
charged with assault upon a yo- -lg
girl in the Fuller section of the coun-
ty few miles from WATERFORD. The
report is that he met the young girl,
who is only 13 years of age, in the
public road and assaulted her, hold
ing his hand over her mouth to keep
her screams from alarming the neigh
borhood. Sheriff Ackerman was noti-
fed and went to the scene of the as
sault Saturday morning, and after in
vestigating the matter to his satisfac-
ton found young Crosby in the
swamp near his fathers. He was
brought to Jail. Some talk was heard
of an attempt to storm the Jail, but
cooler heads prevailed and no trouble
was had. The affair is much regret
ted. The young man committing the
assault and his victim were near
neighbors, and it is said they are re-
lated. Crosby denies that he assault
ed the girl, but she states that he did
and a medical examination discloses
that it was done-Walterbo Press

Battery of Fans to the Rescue.

The heat Monday morning was
something terrific. Even before
court opened, the usual crowd in at
tendance the first day was sweltering
in the court room. The court at
tendants were a little bit uneasy
about taking off their coats, for judg-

distinct disfavor on such procedure.
However, their uneasiness was reliev-
cd Immediately on opening of the
court, and a promiscious "shucking'
was the order of the day, with the
exception of members of the bar and

summoned a few moments before ten
o'clock, and a battery of electric fans
was installed at various angles of
the court room, which helped the
situation immensely, although it was
still hot, even with the fans at work.
