ASSAULT MADE
ON POPULAR GIRL
Brick From Unknown Assail
ant Hits Young LadyWas
Caused by jealousy
Washington, N. C. Sept. 28. The
section of Jamesville is considerably
stirred up over an accidentia! assault
that was committed on Miss Bessie
Griffith when she was riding on the
county road in a buggy, with B. Har
ding.
When a dark spot in the road was
peached a brick was hurled in the di
rection of the buggy which struck Miss
Griffin in the face, rendering her un
conscious. Harding drove to James
ville as fast as possible, but the girl
was suffering considerably when a
physian reached her. A long gash wag
cut in her face and it was necessary to
take several stitches. She is reported
tb be doing nicely.
It appears that Harding had been
especially attentive to the young ladyi
and according to reports the brick was
intended for-him and came from a
jealous admirer of the young lady.
Bloodhounds w6re carried to the
scene and they immediately picked p
a trail which carried them about five
miles and finally ended at . the resi
dence of a young man who is said to
have been an admirer of Miss Grifin
No arrests have as yet been made. "

The decree provides that no facto
