CLOSE ON TRACK OF BRUTE
roller 'I'm II Mnry .Marks' Axsnllnnl
nn Fur ns the frvlnstfon
Ilrldge.
The brutal nssallant of little Mary Marks
has been traced as far as the Irvlngton
bridge, twelve miles northwest of Omaha,
and thero he and his rig dropped out ot
sight as completely is If tho earth had
swallowed them. The follow was seen to
cross the bridge an hour after the assault
occurred, but no further trace was found.
Sheriff Power and Deputy Flynn, who
spent nil of Saturday scouring tho north
western part of tho county, returned last
night from thtlr trip with but llttlo to
show for their exertions. They trailed tho
buggy from tho placo where the assault oc
curred to the bridge and along this route
found many people who had seen the fel
low. An Important witness was found In a
girl, who was nt the Irvlngton grocery store
when tho fellow crossed tho bridge. Sho
described him and tho rig minutely, and aB
far as known nt the present time was tho
last person to see him In the buggy. She
Is not posltlvo whether ho turned north on
the Pennington road or south on tho Mil
itary road. Tho sheriff and deputy drove
up tho Bennington road as far as tho post
offico and blacksmith shop, whero thoy
found that ho had not passed. there. The
blacksmith said It would have been Im
possible for the fellow to have come that
way without being seen. Tho officers then
followed the Military road to Elk City,
twenty-two miles from Omaha, without
finding a clue. Every clump of trees or
bushes which might afford shelter for a
horao nnd buggy was searched and Inquiries
made at all farmhouses.
The search has not been abandoned nnd
tho hope Is still strong that the fellow will
bo speedily captured. A description has
been sent to every town nnd vlllago within
a radius of fifty miles and It Is not thought
possible that ho can escape. Many have
the opinion that tho fellow returned to
Omaha at night after abandoning his rig.
A cluo which points In this direction Is In
tho hands of police detectives, who are
Investigating It. Tho police are making a
thorough search of tho city for persons
answering the description.
A tuspect giving the name of John Col
ony was arrested nt an early hour yester
day morning nt Forty-second and Hamilton
utreots by Sergeant Hudson and Patrolman
Ncllsen. Ho tallied with tho description
In nearly every detail, but was not tho
one wanted. As tho girl failed to Identify
mm no was released. No other arrests
have been made.
All of those who have seen llttlo Mary's
assailant agrco upon this description of
him: A man a trifle above medium height,
perhaps flvo feet eleven Inches In stature,
weight 160 pounds, between 26 and 28 years
of ago, brown hair, small brown mustache,
stubble of beard on his face evidently sev
eral days old. He woro a soft black hat,
bluo gingham shirt, black and whlte-strlpcd
trousors ana medium heavy black shoes
Ho hod on neither coat nor vest, but his
coat, the llttlo girl says, lay besldo him on
tho seat of tho buggy. Ho was driving a
llttlo black pony In very poor condition that
carried Its head low. Both vehlclo and har
ness woro old and much tho worso for use,
Tho former was n top buggy, tho top of
which had been brokon from the box and
wired in place. The left hind wheel was
dished. In the box of tho buggy was a
Jelly pall with some food In It, and a dinner
bucket. When last seen tho top of tho
vehlclo was up and the curtains drawn.
