Hunt For Man In Bold Attack
On Woman.

A countrywide search is in progress for
a colored man who attempted to criminally
assault young married woman in her
home near Hyattstown last Saturday night
and later escaped from the eunfre of two
policemen.
The man being sought is VIM. Jackson =,
AS years old, of Blocktown. A warrant
charges him with the attempted assault of
Mrs. Maude McDonough, 23-year- old mother
of two children, one years old and the
other S.
Police say they learned the identity of
Mrs. McDonoueh's assailant through a
description furnished by the woman. Early
Sunday morning Policeman Roy Bodmer
and Special Officer Dunbar Padgett went
to Jacksons home TO arrest him, but as
they neared the house the man ran out
and fled through the woods.
The officers chased him for more than
a mile through dense underbrush, empty
ing their revolvers as they ran, but finally
we're outdistanced.
According to the police, Mrs. McDonoush
was lying on a bed beside her children
when the colored man climbed through
her bedroom window. She had just put
the children to bed and they had fallen
asleep.
The man reached the second story Of the
house by pulling himself up from the roof
of shed below the window.
Mrs. McDonoueh said the man struck her
on the side of her head as she arose to her
feet and then threatened her with instant
death if she made an cutlery. She said
she saw a razor handle protrudine from his
pocket
The struggle which ensued awakened the
children, and their cries brought their
father to the room u investigate. As he
opened the door the intruder jumped out
of the window.

State Farmers To Get Loans.

First steps for providing credit for credit
less farmers in drought stricken sections Of
Maryland were taken last Friday at a
meeting Of the executive committee Of
Governor Ritchies drought commission.
The committee. headed by Waldo New
conner, adopted a resolution to create a
special fund from which loans will be
made to farmers unable to post collateral
such as regular banking institutions de-
mand.
The committees plan is believed to be
the first devised by any State to avoid
the necessity of forming farm co-opera-
tives or of dealing with the regularly con-
stituted banking channels.
The committee proposes to create an
organization and issue stock, to be sub
scTibed for by banks of the State and the
public at large. From the money thus
collected loans will be made to farmers
AS the loans are repaid, stockholders will
be refunded the amount of their subscrip-
tons on pro rata basis.
The mechanism of collecting and dis
tributing the money raised will be handled
by banking representatives, who will pro-
vide these services without cost. On the
loans. however, regular legal interest will
be charged. County drought committees
are to serve as advisers. seeing that the
funds reach those most in need and de-
serving.
Details of the plan have been left to
Herbert Levy. VIM. L. Marbury and Alex
ander Armstrong. Baltimore attorneys.
They will report back to the committee.
1t was announced that no steps will be
taken to raise funds in the near future
and that the committee intends merely to
organize the machinery for raising funds
when needed Farmers of the State, it
was said. will not be in dire need until
mid winter. Committee members said it
is not at all certain that the proposed loan
corporation will ever have to be called into
action and expressed hopes that even then
the number of farmers who will need its
services may be small.

E. L. Tschiffely.

To few of US does Providence grant not
merely the scriptural allotment of three
score years and ten, but the rich portion
of over 81 years; and to far, far fewer,
the joy of all seasons. rich in health and
fortitude and devotion, down to the final
sunset.
No one can be more sensible of such a
life and such an example than this Com
pany, to which E. L. Tschiffely gave so
many loyal years-this Company for which
he became Agent in November, 1892 !;
Director in January, 1895. and immedi-
ately thereafter, Inspector and Adjuster
for the extraordinary term of over 35 years
Yet more notable than the compass of his
years was the character of the labor which
honored them, labor given without limit,
Or complaint, or compromise, or WEAKNESS,
labor given through love of duty, which,
in the very performance of it, finds its
chief reward.
In such life is an example for US who
survive, who pay him now this earnest, if
inadequate. tribute of regret that he is
gone and of gratitude for all that in life
he did and, by his shining example, still
does. and will do while memory lasts.
