VICTIM STILL PROSTRATED SilTerton Authorities Are Keeping Close Watch on Farmer, Who Is Kueiwn to Have Been Acting Vueerly for Some Time. MLVERTON. Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) C J Kosheim. father of Miss Lillian Kojihelm, the 18-year-old girl who was attacked by a hair-snipping fiend, to day declared that he believed his daughter would be able to name her assailant when she has a lucid Inter val and can tell a connected story. Mr. Kosheim, a mlllman, has his own Ideas, but refused further to talk of the case, preferring to await the story which Lillian Is expected to tell. The victim had a restless night, awakening many times crying and screaming, then being unable to return soon to slumber, sobbed away the tedious night. Her condition, tnoueh taking a turn for the better, is far from normal, according to tbe attend ing pnysiclms. Her nervous condition is alill sulb as to make her irrespon sible. Mrs. Rosheim also believes that her daughter knows who committed tbe attack. With the developments In the Rosheim case today it was revealed that the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Lyons, who live in town, was attacked by an unknown man about two weeks ago while she was going borne In the early evening. The attack waa made on the same road leading toward the Small home, and today this development led the authori ties to believe that probably the same man may have committed both crimes. The little Lyons girl's clothing was badly torn, but the man was fright ened away before accomplishing his purpose. The girl has told her story to four or five persons and she holds to the Bame tale in each instance. From the vague description already given the authorities by Miss Itosheim a close watch is being kept on a farmer who lives not a great distance from the Small home, where the attack was made this week. He is known to have worn such clothes as the girl describes, and when she is able to tell her story the officials expect to make an arrest. The man lu question . has .been acting queerly for some time, and the fact that all appearances point to the work of a degenerate, the community is anxiously awaiting a connected story from the girl. It was noised about town today that probably Miss Rosheim cut her own hair and bruised her body, but when it became known that her back had been slashed by the assailant this story was given no credence. News from the Scotts Mills district was that the man pursued Wednesday had made his escape. Aberdeen Kegisters 7 9 Aliens. ABEHDEEN. Wash.. Feb.
