BATESVILLE GIRL IS
 ATTACKED BY NEGRO
When Accosted She Screamed and Was Released By
 Negro Who Escaped

Batesville, March 20.-The negro who attacked the young woman here Saturday night is still at large, and officers con- tinue to work on the mystery. The young woman's name is Covey, Is years of age. She worked as a waitress at John sons Tea Room, a local restau- rant, and resides on Harrison street. A number of negroes have been taken before her for identification, but all of them have been released.
 Saturday night Miss Covey quit work at ' o'clock. She started to the picture show, but, because she felt fatigued, decided to go to her home a. bout twelve blocks away. She went to a store and cashed her pay check, and had proceeded several blocks toward her home, when she was accosted by a negro, whom, she said, inquired if she was not afraid to walk home alone. The oc- currence took place in the mid ,dle of the block where it was quite dark.
 She says she replied she was not, whereupon the black seiz- ed her and attempted to choke her. She screamed, attracting persons living nearby. The negro then struck her, causing her to fall in ditch. The black then disappeared. Per sons found her in an uncon- scious condition.
 The affair was reported to officers Saturday night, but lit tie work was done on the case until Sunday morning. Dozens of negroes were rounded up and placed in jail. They were taken to the young woman's s home after she regained con- sciousness. She stated that she would know the negro if she saw him, but she failed to iden- tify any of the negroes that appeared before her. At one time. Miss Covey pointed out her assailant, but later had him released because she said the negro held did not have the voice as the one who at tackled her.
 Although there has been considerable indignation voiced at a result of the attack, it is not believed that a lynching will take place if the guilty negro is apprehended.
 The Batesville Ku Klux Klan caused notices to be printed and posted in conspicious places offering $150 reward for the apprehension and convic- tion of the negro.

ALICIA BANK ROBBER
 GETS LIFE SENTENCE
Reese Claims He Was Gassed
 in France and Pleads Par tial Insanity

Walnut Ridge, ch.17.-The jury in the case of Orville Reese, youthful bank robber, returned a verdict of guilty this afternoon at 2 o'clock, his punishment being fixed at life imprisonment in the state peni- tentiary. The case was given to the jury at 9 o'clock last night. The body deliberated until 10:30 o'clock, when they were locked up for the night. Deliberations were resumed at 9 o'clock this morning, the jury reaching a verdict at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 Reese was charged with the murder of F. M. Light, a farm CT, who was killed while Reese and two companions were rob- ping the Bank of Alicia several months ago. Rev. w. A. Franks was also killed by the bandits, and third man wounded. Reese's compan- ions deserted him when he was wounded. They have never been apprehended.
 An attempt was made at the trail to prove that Reese is inferior mentally and that he was unable to distinguish a great wrong from a minor wrong. Reese said he was sub- ject to headaches, during which he was unable to resist temptation. Reese said he was gassed while fighting overseas
 Following the robbery al Alicia and the wounding ot Reese and the escape of his companions, Reese took refuge ill a farm house, where he was found in what appeared to be a dying condition. He was brought to the depot at Alicia and prepared for removal to a hospital at Little Rock. The crowd was greately incensed and there was some talk of violence. At least the crowd did not want Reese removed from the county. The atti- tude of the crowd was chang ed when Mrs. Franks, wife of the dying minister, who was mortally wounded by the ban dits, mounted a truck and made an impassioned plea for the crow to permit the bandit to be removed to Little Rock and for the crowd to refrain from violence. The dying minister was placed on the same train, but he died before the train reached Little Rock. Reese was placed in the penitentiary hospital and slowly recovered from his wounds.
 When the robbery and mur- ders occurred, Rev Franks, MT. Light and several others were in the bank drawing up a deed to a certain piece of residence property, which the congre- gation of Rev. Franks was pre- pairing to present him as a parsonage.

The Wisconsin Highway Commits
slon's accident report for the month
OF July shows that there were total
OF III accidents on the state trunk
highways. The total number of peo-
pie killed was Ia; number seriously
injured, 45;slightly injured, 14S; those
393.
Accidents on straight road still
seem to predominant, there being 107
out Of III accidents which occurred
on straight roads. Forty-two of the
accidents occurred on corners or
curves; eight at intersecting cross
roads; eleven on railroad crossings
and three at miscellaneous other
places.
From the reports sent in to the
Highway Commission office the causes
for the accidents are listed as follows
l2S o fthe accidents were caused by
reckless driving and the remainder of
the accidents were due to miscellan-
eous other causes, such as poor lights
on cars, bright spot lights, cars skid
ding, etc.
In nine cases the drivers were re-
ported as having been intoxicated.
1t is very apparent from the previ-
Gus reports issued that the accidents
are considerably on the increase. The
month of July shows almost 1000
increase over the month of June.
The month of August is a very high
traffic month and drivers should take
every precaution to bring down the
number of accidents. The only way
this can be done is for each and every
user of motor vehicle to preach and
follow principles of Safety First"
