ATTACK ON GIRLS
Flossie Sargeant and Anna Orth
of This City Assaulted at
Robey Friday Night.
FRANK TULLEY ARRESTED BY
SHERIFF SMITH YESTERDAY
Must Face Serious Charges
Made By Girls at Salem
Yesterday Morning.
Continued from Monday, Dec. 9.
Frank Tullcy, employed as a watch
man at the gravel pit of the Oregon
Electric Railway, one mile cast of
this city, was arrested yesterday
morning by Sheriff Smith and taken
to Salem yesterday afternoon by
Sheriff Minto of Marion county,
where he will be compelled to face
serious charges made against him by
Flossie Sargent and Anna Orth, two
Albany girls upon whom it is
alleged he made a vicious at
tack last Friday night near the
station of Robey on the Oregon
Electric railway, eleven miles north
of this city.
The two girls who have been em
ployed at various restaurants in this
city for several tmonths as waitresses
were recently thrown out of employ
ment and had been promised work by
a lady in Salem. The Sargent girl
had been acquainted with Tullcy for
several years and thought him to be
respectable and had accompanied him
on various occasions.
When Tullcy learned that the girls
had been promised work in Salem and
that they intended to leave for the ,
Capital City to make arrangements f;r
the positions, he offered to take them
to that city last Friday evening on a
gasoline speeder, such as arc used
in railroad work. They consented to
accompany him, as he informed them ;
that the trip could be made in an
hour and that they would be back in
Albany before 10 o'clock that night.
Instead of a gasoline speeder, how
ever, the conveyance proved to be an
ordinary handcar a nil the party did
not arrive in Salem until after mid
night, too late fur the girls to sec the
woman who hail promised them em
ployment. After securing something
to eat at one of the restaurants in Sa
lem, the party boarded the handcar
and started back to Albany.
As they neared the station of Rob
ey, 11 miles north of Albany, Tullcy
informed the girls that a train was
due ami that he would have to re
move the haiuk-ar from the track.
The station was reached and the girls
alighted from the handcar and as it
was cold and foggy they sought shel
ter from the wind in I lie shed which
hail been erected as a' wailing room
for passengers.
Instead of removing the hand
car from the track, however, it
is claimed that Tullcy came in
to the shed where the girls were
waiting and throwing his arms about
the Sargent girl attempted to force
her to the ground. She fought him
with all her strength and finally man
aged to break away from him.
She ran in the direction of Albany
ami crossed the Sautiam bridge, which
is over a mile in length, falling sev
eral' times and bruising herself in
many places. She finally reached the
farmhouse of a family named Jones
where she amused the people who
took her in and cared for her.
One of the members of the family
telephoned to Mrs. N. K. Olin of this
city, at whose home the girls were
rooming, and related the particulars
of the affair. Mrs. Olin requested
the people to care for the girl until
morning and then to send her to Al
bany ou the train. This was done,
and the Sargent girl arrived in this
citv Saturday morning on the 9:41)
o'clock train.
She was badly used up by her ex
perience. Her clothes were torn and
tier bndy badly bruised by the falls
which she experienced in crossing the
long railroad bridge in the dead of
night.
After the Sargent girl had broken
away from her assailant, this left
the Orth girl alone with Tullry. He
bundled her onto the handcar and
crossed the Sautiam bridge and start
ed for this city. They had bandy
reached this side of the river, when
the Orth girl, noticed a train com
ing and notified Tullcy of this fact.
Tulley stopped the car and removed
it from the track, to allow the train
to pass. While he was engaged in
removing the car, the Orth girl broke
away and disappeared in the dark
ness, loi'iug Tulley to continue the
journey to Albany alone. Alter leav
ing the man the young woman con
tinued her way into Albany, arriving
here the next morning. footsore ami
weary, and on the verge of a nerv

Jealous Lover Shoots Rival
on Albany-Shedds Road at
10 O'clock Last Night.
BULLET PLOWS FURROW IN
CHEEK OF SHEDDS FARMER
Young Man and Lady Friend
Were on Way Home From
Albany When Held Up.
M. . Nicewood, a prominent young
farmer residing near the Boston Mills
in the vicinify of Shedds, was shot
through the right cheek at 10 o'clock
last evening. Paul Ackerman, who
was hid in the brush along the Albany-Shedds
road awaiting his ap
proach, is his alleged assailant.
The bullet entered Nicewood's
cheek near the mouth and plowed its
way under the skin to a point under
the lobe of his right ear where it
lodged. Nicewood returned to Al
bany,, arriving here at midnight where
his wounds were dressed by Dr. B.
R. Wallace. The bullet was located
by the physician but has not yet been
removed as it will probably have to
be taken out through the mouth.
According to Nicewood's story, he
and Ackerman have been rivals for
the hand of Miss Tcmpe Brock, a
young lady residing in the vicinity of
Shedds. Nicewood appears to have
been the favorite with the young lady
which aroused the jealousy of Acker
man, who threatened on several occa
sions to shoot them both. No atten
tion was paid to his threats, however,
by cither Nicewood or Miss Brock.
Yesterday Nicewood accompanied
by Miss Brock drove to this city
where they spent the afternoon, leav
ing for home early in the evening.
When they were nearing Shedds, a
man stepped out of the darkness and
grasping the horse by the bridle,
commanded Nicewood to throw up his
hands.
Before Nicewood had time to act,
the man, whose voice had been recog
nized by both Nicewood and Miss
Brock as being Ackerman's, pointed
his gun directly at Nicewood's face
and pulled the trigger.
Nicewood immediately whipped up
his horse and as the buggy drew
rapidly away from the scene, Acker
man fired several more shots in the
direction of the buggy, none of which
did any damage and only one of them
striking the rig.
Nicewood and the young lady drove
back to this city by a circuitous route,
arriving here shortly after midnight.
Dr. Wallace was called and made an
examination of the wound and after
considerable probing located the bul
let under the lobe of the right ear.
The wound was temporarily dressed
and the bullet will be removed to
day. Nicewood "appeared at the district
attorney's office this morning where
a complaint was made before District
Attorney Hill. After hearing the par
ticulars, the district attorney had a
warrant issued from Judge Swan's
court for the arrest of Ackerman.
Constable Catlin left this morning
for Shedds after the man and
will return with his prisoner this
evening sometime. Ackerman will
probably be given a preliminary hear
ing tomorrow morning.

PASSENGER DEPOT
TOBEOPENEDSQOH
Formal Opening of New Struc
ture Will Probably Occur on
Next Thursday, Dec. 12.
INTERIOR IS HANDSOMELY
FINISHED IN OREGON FIR
Lighting Fixtures Are of Solid
BraSs; Ladies Waiting Room
Is Attractive.
That the new passenger station of
the Oregon Electric which will prob
ably be opened to the public in this
city next Thursday is the finest pas
senger depot on any electric railway
in this state, is the opinion of every
one who has been afforded an oppor
tunity of seeing the interior.
Agent Hoydar stated to the Dem
ocrat representative this afternoon
that the work of finishing the inside
work is being rushed and is now prac
tically finished, and that it was hoped
to have the station ready to be form
ally opened on Thursday of this week.
The station is certainly a credit to
this city and a building of which the
citizens may be justly proud. The
exterior of the building is of red
pressed brick with stone trimmings
and the roof will be of green tile,
which is now on the ground and ready
to install. On the Fifth street side
of the building and at the east and
west ends, a wide concrete platform
is now under course of construction.
, The inside of the building is the
most attractive of any depot building
in the state. Around all the sides and
ends of the main waiting room has
been placed green tiling which ex
tends from the floor upward for six
feet. The floor is of cement.
On the north side of the waiting
room is located the ticket Office which
is constructed of Oregon fir of beau
tiful grain and highly polished. The
ticket office is fitted up with a ticket
window, a conductor's window, and
the telegraph operator's table is of
solid oak.
Probably the most attractive feature
of the interior of the new station is
the beautiful electric light fixtures
which were purchased through the
Ralston Electric Supply company of
this city. The lights were made by
the Albert Sechrist company of Den
ver and are of solid brass.
Twelve of these beautiful inverted
lights are suspended from the ceiling
of the room by chains. Each of the
light bowls contains a 150 watt Tung
sten lamp and when they are all turn
ed on, the depot is as light as day.
The ladies 'waiting room which is
located in the west end of the depot
building is a beautiful room. It is
finished in solid oak and the panel
work is superb. Connecting with the
waiting room is a ladies' toilet and 1
avatory. All of the fixtures in the
lavatories are of genuine porcelain.
Ihe ceiling of the main waiting
room has been tinted a beautiful
ivory color which blends splendidly
with the woodwork. The baggage
room is located in the east end of the
building and the heating apparatus in
the basement.
The ground around the outside of
the station will be parked and a drive
way for automobiles and vehicles will
be constructed on the north side of
the building. R. H. Stoddard, assist
ant inspector of depots for the Ore
gon Electric, is rushing the work and
it is hoped to have everything in read
iness tor the opening on Thursday.
