Two Lima, NY, delegates to the state W. C. T. U. at Binghamton had a disagreeable adventure Friday night. They, not knowing that the street car service shut down at 11. p. m. had waited about the Centenary church until after that hour and were walking to their sleeping place on Mathews street. Near the corner of Glenwood avenue a man jumped from behind a tree and threw his arms around the necks of the women, knocking their heads together. This failing to stun them he threw them down demanding their money or their lives. The women screamed and struggled, one of the women getting two of man's fingers in her mouth during the combat and biting them severely. She lost a tooth in her effort to get them loose. For some reason, probably the screams, the man was frightened away and the women when to the house of Alderman DARLING and woke him up. He heard their story and notified the police, Chief MOORE, Roundsman, FREDENBURG and Officer KELLY responding. After hearing the story of the women, a search was made for the assailant, but without success.
