The screams of the little girl brought people to the scene of tho attack of Saturday. Her father, semi-conscious and bleeding, was found nearby and her brother was found near tho same place.

She is hysterical today and is under the care of a physician. Both father and brother lived for several hours after they had been struck by the little girl. J. W.
