Miss Grace Hamilton, tho 18-yoar-old
daughter of C. C. Hamilton, a carpenter llv
Ing nt 720 South Sixth street, wim
,tho. victim of an attempted criminal
inoauit at her home shortly before 3 o'clock
yesterday by o burly negro. In the strug
gle that ensued MUjs Hamilton was badly
brulsnd and her neck and shoulders bear
tho marks of her assailant's hands. The
nogro was frightened off before ho could nc
complleh his purpose.
Miss Hamilton, according to the young
woman's story, sleeps In a room adjoining
that occupied by hor two younger sisters
Sho was awakoned shortly before 3 o'clock
by a coal black negro, who, nt tho point of
a revolver, ordered hor to got up and go
Into tho next room, where hor two sisters
wero sleeping. Tho negro was carrying a
lamp which ho had secured In tho room be
yond. The young woman, half dead from
fright, did as sho was ordered, tho negro
following close, behind her. Having closed
tho door, tho negro then attempted to as
sault her. A struggle is said to have en
sued betweon tho black ncoumlrol nnd the
joung woman, the two younger girls, unablo
to even call out, being completely paralyzed
with fear.
MIfa Hamilton says she succeeded In heat
ing off her lusallant nnd managod to fight
her way Into the room adjoining. Her
screams by. this tlmo hnd aroused tho houso
and tho negro escaped by Jumping through
n window.
Tho pollco wero notified as soon as possi
ble and several officers wero hastily de
spatched, to tho scono and n thorough search
of the neighborhood made, but no trace, of
the negro was secured. MIfs Hamilton won
qulto seriously injured in her struggle, her
neck and shoulder being badly bruited. Sho
Is completely prostrated from the terrlblo
experience nnd strugglo that sho underwent.
A young negro named Howard Bryant
about 23 years of ago was arrested yesterday
morning on suspicion, but he stoutly donles
any knowledge of the crime and Insists that
ho can easily provo where he spont the'
night. Hn has not been confronted with
Miss Hamilton yet, she being In a proetrato
condition. The pollco are also working on
nnother clue and other arrests are expected,
Howard Br) ant, the Omaha neg:o, urnstod
on suspicion, was seen at thrt city Jail yes
terday afternoon by Mlsa Hamilton and her
ulster and they both declared bo was not
tho assailant. Later in the dny two morn
suspectn wero arrested, but were relowed
when found not to bo tbo party wanted.
Examination of the Hamlltou re-ildenco
yesterday showed that tho negro In Jumping
from tho bedroom window fell Into an area
way below, where ho broke a window light.
An Inverted cellar door wns found leaning
against tho side of tho house directly under
thti window of the young women's bedroom
and It Is supposed that the negro used this
to climb up to tho window, which was par
tially open, and thus secured an ontranco
to the room.
Circumstances which oamo fo light ytntor
day lndlcato that thci negro followed Mlsa
Hamilton and her slater home from tho
meeting at the First Presbyterian church
and that bo was hanging around the neigh
borhood. Lee Baldwin, n liveryman of
South Main street, noticed n negro follow
ing two women on Sixth avenue. Ills (sus
picions were aroused and he followed, Ho
saw tho negro enter the yard of tho houvo
where tho women entered and caught him
peoplng through a window. Baldwin aiked
the negro what ho was doing, when the mnn
pulled his bat down over his eyes nnd ran,
Tho negro seen by Baldwin answers the
description of Mlse Hamilton's assailant,

DES MOINES, May 4. (Special Tele

Railroad Commissioners this morning. Tho
case has been much discussed and Us out
come will bo of interest to all railroad nnd

tho Rock Inland.
i no soio point at issue is whether any
railroad In tho state has n right to refuse
shipments of stock from Its line to tU.Ir
destination on tho lino of another adjacent
road. The Dcs Moines Union Stock Yards.
represented hy Its owner, Vincent, claims
that tho Rock Island lias refused to switch
shipments of stock coming in over Its road
and destined for the Dcs Moines Union
Stock Yards, out of tho Rock Island yards
over tho Des Moines Union railway. The
Rock Island admits this, but claims that It
has tho authority to make such refusal.
Vincent contends that the action constitutes
discrimination, but the Rock Island declnros
that it has declined to ship any stock cars
to any destination but its own stock yards,
which Is legitimate. Tho action of the Rock
Island road has resulted in tho closing of
tho plaintiff's stock yards.
