volver, two young men attacked Miss'
ODcli. of 12 Meadow street, Saturday:
evening, on the lower end of SoutnA
Main street. and dragged her in thoA
nearby woods ,

The young lady screamed lustily for
help, and hysterically fought her as-,
sailants. who became frightened
her desperate attempt to escape, and
disappeared in life woods. A

An alarm was sent into police head,
quarters, and Officers Robert Gather
and John Flynn hurried to the scene or
the assault but were too late, the men
having disappeared some little time.
The woods were diligently searched by
the policemen. but no trace of the as:
cailants couldbc found.

The two men. who. because of their
swarthy complexion. were taken to be
Italians, were described to the police;
by Miss O'Dell and Mr. McCarthy. One
was about live foot, six inches tall. and
wore a suit of dark material. and a
black velour Alpine ‘hat. The other
was tall and slim, smoothly shaven
face, and wore a blue suit and derby
hat. During the struggle Miss O’Dell
lost one of her slippers and a bundle.
The case is being investigated by the
local police department,
