By The Associated Press.
 70 Sand Cave, Ky, Feb. Mixture was still refusing today to give up even temporarily, her victim, Floyd Collins, whose body was reached Monday afternoon in Sand Cave, where he had been trapped for seventeen day.
 Treacherous conditions in the old cave passage, where Collins was caught in a natural rock trap during an exploring expedition, made so perilous the efforts of workers to release him that they were with drawn from the hole early this morning.
 Their Last Resort
 AS a last resort to get out the body, workmen at S:30 o'clock re- sumed digging new passage in an attempt to go around-about way to reach Collins feet, it was announced by pr. w. D. Funkhouser.
 So hazardous were conditions in the natural passage that for time serious consideration was given to plan to seal Collins in his prison tomb and make it his final sepulchre.
 Officials pointed out that to risk human life for the sake of recover ing Collins body would be foolish and considered conferring with mem- bers of the Collins family and Gov. William J. Fields.
 Wants Doctor Present
 M. E. s. Posey, Governor Fields representative in the rescue work, called Dr. William Hazlett of Chica- go, at his Cave City hotel and re- quested he immediately come to

 Cave City, Feb. 1.-The body of Floyd Collins will be left in his natural tomb and his funeral services will be held this after noon at the mouth of the shaft which was dug to rescue him but in vain.

 Dr. Hazlett came up the shaft at l2:20 p. m. and said he had identified Collins through gold front tooth. He announced that Collins had been dead between three and five days when he was reached yesterday afternoon. Magistrate Turner said he had seen and recognized Collins and felt confident there was no way to remove the body without grave risk.
 Seven friends of Collins crawl ed down the tunnel to identify him as members of coroner's jury including Magistrate Clay Turner, acting coroner.
 Everything has been done that could have been done and mans ingenuity and modern machinery have failed" said MT. Collins. No more lives should be sacrificed in further attempts to remove his body.
 Citizens of Cave City today pledged $1,0O0 to further the work of recovering Floyd Col lins' body from Sand Cave with the stipulation that if the res cue work was unsuccessful then the sum would go toward memorial to be erected in mem ory of Collins.

DOVER SALESLADY VICTIM OF
BRUTAL ATTACK ON WAY HOME
MISS MARY ABBOTT HIT WHEN
WITHIN 50 YARDS OF HER DOOR
Assallant Escapes When Young Lady
screams - DIR. James Takes IA
Stitches in Ugly Wound Opened

Miss Mary L. Abbott, aged 20
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A I
Abbott, was the victim of a myster-
lous murderOus assault late Saturday
night when within fifty yards of her
nome that has the residents of Dover
thoroughly aroused because of the
brutality of the attack. She was fell
ed with brick which had been hurled
by an assailant who was concealed bv
the darkness and who fed when her
means and cries brought her father tn
her rescue. Tracks were found near
the spot, but posse that searched the
vicinity failed to detect the guilty per-
son. Miss Abbott's head was laid
open by the blow and it required
fourteen stitches to close the wound
She is still suffering from shock and
fright. Miss Abbott is a salesladv in
the Z. w. Fisher dry goods store on
Loockerman street. She lives about
half mile west of town beyond the
railroad tracks. When she leaves the
store at night to go home she is us
ually accompanied by someone, but
Saturday night about II o'clock she
started home alone. She was within
nifty yards of the house when a brick
struck her on the head, knocked her
down and she lapsed into semi-con-
sciousness. After a while she tried
to get up but was unable to do SO.
She began to moan and then called
for help. Her father heard her cries
and, jumping from bed, went to her
assistance. He found his daughter
PROSTATE on the road and carried her
INTO the house. DR.. John w. James
was called from Dover and closed the .
wound in the girls head with fourteen
stitches. The cause Of the attack is
as mysterious as the identity of the
person who committed it. Miss Alb
Dott carried d valuable watch and had
her weeks salary but neither was
taken. She did not see anyone in the
vicinity and was not molested after
she had been felled.

Educational Association Expect About
500 to Attend Coming Session, Dover
The Board of Directors of the Del
aware State Education Association
have decided that the annual meeting
of teachers will be held at Dover on
Thursday and Friday, November 18th
and 18th. Millard F. Hydoln, of Fred
erica, president of the association, is
arranging an exceptionally good pro-
gram for the two day session. Among
the speakers so far secured are Dr.
Ernest w. Butterfeld, of New Hamp-
shire; DR.. Zenos E. Scott, of Spring
field, Massachusetts,, and Frank D.
BOyntOn, of Ithaca, New York. Other
