12 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 4, 1920. FATHER OF GIRL MAN ATTACKED TAKES HER HOME Maid tn Bluffs Home Cannot Determine Whether or Not Her Assailant Was White or Colored. Notified by telephone of the at tempted assault against his 18-year-old daughter, Mildred, in Council Bluffs Friday night, Charles John ion, farmer, living near Loveland, la., arrived early yesterday and took her home. Miss Johnson, who has been a maid in the home of Mrs. George Purchase, 912 Military avenue, , Council Bluffs, for several days, was attacked by a man about 9 o'clock last 'night in front of the old Gen. G. M. Dodge residence on Third treet Council Bluffs police are working on the case. They have a fair de scription of the girl's assailant r Miss Johnson had been previously employed in the Lucius Pryor home, 130 Fairview avenue, and was on her way to that place to obtain some mail when the assault oc curred. Attempts to Choke Her. The man seized her, she said, and attempted to choke her into sub mission. She fought him off with her fists until he tripped her and she fell to the ground. A desperate struggle followed, . in which the girl's glasses were broken, cloth ing torn and; she sustained many, bruises. She says she struck him several times in the face and finally succeeded in breaking away from him. She ran screaming to the Pryor home, a block away, and fainted when they opened the door for her. ' . Gave No Description. Miss Johnson was unable to give oolice a eood description of the man. He was young, she said, but soft does not know whether he was a negro or a white man. Edwin R. Jackson, former assistant county at torney, and Dr. Ericson Hill ac companied the girl to the Purchase home. Her condition is serious. This is the third attack upon women that has occurred in Coun cil Bluffs within the past week or 10 days. A description which a 45-year-old woman gave of a man who attacked her Wednesday night on Benton street, tallies with that of Miss Johnson's assailant.

It is an Ideal Car for Business as Well as Pleasure A glance at the illustrations will show the wide business uses for which the Essex Rpadster is adapted Its utilities are many. But note no evidence of them is revealed when the Roadster k used as a pleasure car. Every fine is smart, trim and graceful. It takes but a moment to make the change. A World Endurance Record Proves Essex Dependability .Economy durability and train -like regularity are the standards set by Essex. Tiicse things have been shown in the hands of more than 25,000 owners, many of whom have driven their cars from 18,000 to 20,000 miles. It was more dramatically proved on the Cincinnati Speedway, when an Essex stock chassis set the world's long distance , endurance record of 3037 miles in 50 hours. The same car, in three separate tests, travelled a total of 5870 miles at an average speed above a mile a minute. Another stock Essex set the world's 24 hour road mark of 1061 miles over snow covered Iowa roads. A large class of the Roadster buyers are business men. They choose it for utility and dependable transportation. It becomes in fact a part of their business system. It must be on the job, keep all engagements on time, and be as respon sible as an engineer's watch. It is specially suited for salesmen, in ' specters and others who must cover wide territory, quickly and frequency. Though not large, the Essex is commodious. There is plenty of room for passengers, and special arrangements for carrying sample cases, unseen, and even a trunk if desired. Come see the Essex Roadster. Ride in it. Try its paces. Whether you want it for business or pleasure, you will appre ciate why Essex in its first year set a new world's sales record. J My ftnoTlni fear erir thm mr aecir eorar may M taken off.
