given aa the reason for Immediate ac

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.

CHEHALIS. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Spe
cial.) It was announced this evening
that O. E. Anderson, of Portland, whose
recent application for a. second light
and power franchise for Chehalis was I
last week unanimously turned down by
the Chehalis City Commissioners, had
secured sufficient signatures to secure
the calling of an election under the

cial election to vote on the project.
