Bessie  Harper,  who  waylaid  and  assaulted
Ruby  Fowler,  was  bound  over  by  Justice  Givens
to  await  the  action  of  the  grand  jury.  Bessie
assaulted  her  victim  with  a stone  tied  up  in  a
towel,  and  after  knocking  Ruby  senseless  beat
her  in  a shameful  manner.  Her  scalp  is  cut  to
the  skull  in  different  places  and  her  face  is
badly  beaten  up.  Bessie  is  out  on  bail.
