GIRL ATTACKED BY
WHITE MAN WHO
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Miss Lillian Isaacs Saved From
Injury By Man Who Heard
Her Scream.
POLICE SUSPECT MAN
Description Given By Girl Fits
Former WOrkhOuse Prisoner
Recently Released.

Walking along the highway from
her home on the farm owned by
former Governor S. S. Pennewill tC
Greenwood between and O'Clock
Sunday evening, Miss Lillian Isaacs
aged Is years, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar F. Isaacs, tenants on the
Pennewill farm, was attacked by a
young white man who put his hand
over her mouth in an effort to
smother her screams and then tried
to drag her into a corn field at the
side of the road. She fought him off
and called for help and he finally
fled when he saw several men run
ming to the girls assistance. He
was tracked across the corn field by
a posse but managed to elude his
pursuers and is still at large.
Greenwood residents and, in fact,
citizens all through the western
side of Sussex county are aroused
over the assault. They say that the
guilty man if found will have to
serve as an example of Delaware
justice against this sort of thing for
this is the second attack of the kind
within a short time and it is thought
the same person was responsible
for both of them.
Miss Isaacs, a graduate of the
Greenwood High School in the class
last June, heard someone approach
ing her from the rear just as it was
growing dark. She turned to find a
young white man riding a bicycle
and almost at her side. He dis
mounted and asked her the way to
Seaford. AS she was directing him
how to go he dropped the bicycle,
caught her in his arms and put his
hand over her mouth. He then at |
tempted to drag her from the road |
into the corn field.
Miss Isaacs fought with him and
knocked his hand from her face.
She then started to scream. Her
cries were heard by her parents as
their home is a short distance from
the place where the attack took
place. They were also heard by
some men at a service station
short distance away. Several men
ran to the scene and the assailant
ran into the corn field and disap-
Deared. His foot prints were found

18TH c. A. LAUDED BY
OFFICERS ON SHOWING
Lieuts. CarSWelI And FeatherstOn
Liken Their Men To Trained Vets.

Lieutenant Robert M. Carswell
instructor of the 19Sth Coast Artil-
lery, Anti-Aircraft Regiment of the
National Guard, and his assistant,
First Lieutenant John H. Feathers
ton, are enthusiastic about the pro-
gress made by.th regiment while at
Camp Robert P. Robinson at Beth
any Beach. Lieutenant Featherston
said that due to the recent progress
made by the artillery units while in
camp at Bethany, they would be able
to make showing that would equal
that of veteran soldiers in case of
war.
The value of these units, the lieu
tenant said, cannot be overestimat-
ed when it is considered how i'm
pOrtant aviation is becoming both
in commercial and military activi-
ties. The airplane, he believes, will
be one of the most i'm
portant weapons in the next war,
and one of the principal means of |
reducing the harm of the airplanes
to industrial centres, will be by use
Of the anti-aircraft units such as the
Delaware National Guard Anti-Air-
craft Regiment, the 19Sth.
1t is expected that next year the
standard U. S. Army three-inch
guns will be used in practice in
stead of the rs millimeter guns
which were used this summer. 1t
s also expected that the water sup
'ly system of the camp, which
allied to supply sufficient water at
me time during the camping period
will be over-hauled and an ample
upply of water will be provided.

! UNLESS there is a compromise
brought about before the Republi-
can convention on Tuesday, Septem-
Der IL, the old guard Republicans of
lower Delaware, that wing of the
party which assemblies under the
banner of United States Senator T.
Coleman du Pont, are going to have
bitter pill to swallow and it is
going to be administered to them by
1. d. Short, of Milford, recognized
leader of the anti-organization for
ces down state.
Short has been insisting that the
nominee for governor come from
Sussex. Whether the candidate be
himself or some other man makes
no difference just so long as he is
Sussex resident. This claim is bas-
ed on the rotation system and he
and his friends insist it is the turn
of Sussex to put up the candidate.
Short is understood to be an active
candidate for the nomination him
self and it is no secret down state
that he has at this time enough del
egates to insure his being the eau
Gus nominee.
Those on the inside here declare
the organization is not going to fight
Short at the primaries but that it
will carry the battle against him
right to the floor of the convention.
1t is then the fireworks will start. |
Short who is wealthy, has wealthy
hackers, enjoys a wide circle of
friends and supporters, is power !

State Board of Education. He is a

"In any event a fight is sure to

SEEK ELDORADO
LONG FORGOTTEN
Old-Timer to Use Plane in
Search for Riches.

Edmonton, Alta.-A trail of blood
and gold that stretches back through
the last "a years Is the lure which
will take 400-horse-power Fokker
plane on quest into the Far North,
1,400 miles past Edmonton. Its goal;
according to an interview appearing In
the Edmonton Journal, will be for
gotten Eldorado.
The pilot is Capt. III. A. Oaks of
the Northern Aerials Mineral EXplor-
alton company, and with him in the
plane, which will carry close to sew
en- tons of equipment, will be Charlie
Mcleod, fortyone, old-time prospec-
tor and northerner, the only man liv-
ing to whom Is known the location Of
the "ind."
In the mind of Mcleod that site of
promised wealth fingers as a place of
awful tragedy. 1t was just past the
turn of the present century that he
and his two brothers, Bill and Frank,
following the clews Of Indians, found
in q hidden canyon signs of untold
richness of gold. Three years later
Charlie Mcleod returned to find the
bones of his brothers on the site of
their old camp.
Today, however, the old-timer Is
confident of the success of his new
venture. His trip, he mentions. Is
backed by Jack Hammell, president of
the Northern Aerials Mineral EXplor-
alton company, the same Hammell
who was concerned In the transfer of
the Film Flon mining territory In
northern Manitoba to the Harry Payne
Whitney interests of New York.
Mcleod tells of how he had left his
brothers on the site of their claim,
while he had to go into the Macken-
zie river country, many hundred miles
to the east. News of their find was
carried to the Yukon, whence n STAN
pede started into the mountains.
Bill and Frank were unable to fight
off the newcomers and were overcome
beside their fires, ridded with bullets
Their murderer. known to Mcleod. Is
since dead. Lack of funds and the
inaccessbility of the claim has pre-.
vented previous exploration of the
property. The assistance of the eX-
ploration company has now removed
both these obstacles.

Coins Valuable Only

DRY, S. d. The currency is worth
less now, except to collectors. The
most valuable piece in the collection
was taken from ruins at Pompeii.
One piece of Austrian currency,
worth at one time 100000, is in the
collection. In United States gold
coins, Stamford has So and so cents
in single pieces, 5O-cent and %

Humble Toad Classed
as Friend of Farmer

The lowly toad is Of great value to
the farmer, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The eating
habits of toads give them an impor-
tant place in nature, says statement
by Remington Kellogg, Of the bureau
of biological survey. Although they
are indiscrlminate in their appetites,
the obnoxious insects eaten by the
toads more than compensate for the
harm done by preying on those that
are beneficial.
Toads are great gourmands, and in
the course Of season eat untold mum.
bers of insects, many of which are
highly destructive to plant life. Large
numbers of crop pests are destroyed
by the toads. Meal time with toads
often begins before sunset and con-
tinues throughout the greater part of
the night; hence the food contains q
mixture of diurnal and nocturnal
organisms. In their night warfare on
insects the toads take the place of
the grounded insectivorous birds
after these have ceased their activ-
tiles for the day.

American Demand for
Reindeer Meat Grows

Sale of Alaskan reindeer meat to
American meat-eaters in increasing
quantities is reported by the Interior
department. Several thousand car
cases are brought into the country
every year, and the meat may be
bought almost anywhere in the
Northwest, and occasionally is found
on eastern bills Of fare. One Nome
(Alaska) company, recently reorgan.
lied with a 100000 capital, owns
$4,000 head, and devotes all it's at
tention to exporting meat. There are
about 100000 reindeer in Alaska, of
which the Eskimos own about two.
thirds. The reindeer industry is one
of Alaska's greatest.
