APRIL 22. AN ALLEGED AS 'created by a woman resi ward alleging that sho had a prominent citizen on the M one evening last week. Shed mado a state- ment before the recorder arfd demanded a warrant for the arrest of thd man, but this was refused, inasmuch as there was not suf ficient cause for such a proccseding. A TELEGRAYM reportor sought an interview with the woman, whose namg is Mrs. Knott, wife of Willis Kuott, a carpopiter rosiding at 260 West Houry street. Hek story is sub- stantially as follows:; \ At Rbout 9 o'clock at night, while crossing thp Main stroot bridge, I was accoste® by man whom I geiognized as Milton Younjans, and who asked me if he might accompany me. Upon being repulsed hoe used vil} and profane language, and followed meo far as South Water streot, soveral mums attemptmg to lay his hands apon'me. On | rriving homo I told my husband of the advipnature, and to- gethoy we immediately profeeded to Mr. Youmans's bouso and demanded to see him. He was in bed at tho time and doclined to see us. I am positive that I am not mis- taken as to the identity of thi man. I know Mr. Youmans well, my husband having worked for bim a yoar or tro ago.\ The woman's story, thus givon above, is flatly contradicted by Mr. Youmannf, in as far as it relates to bim. The goutlpraan is well- known, eminently ro:pectable, and cortainty it weight. Ho on I was pro bis word is entitled to gre says < \On the night in quost ceeding across the bridge on toy way home. I stopped a moment to tallk with Mr.,Crat tenden, the I saw 'two women on the bridge, but paid no partidular attention to them. I saw a man appromch one of the women, and they stood talking togsther, while the othor woman wontlon. I talkod with Mr. Cniftendon g) fow mo- monts longer and started on houno, not pay ing any attention to artybo iy. Sui- denly the woman, who had lhft the othor, stopped in front.of me and exdélaimed, * This bas gone far enough ; you ust stop follow- ing me.' I replied, ' Madam} you are mis- taken ; I havo not been fdflowing you.' ' Well, you have,' sho said, \lind [ will to'l my husband of you and you will have to sot- tle for this.' I said, 'It is tho euc't thing. I do not not know who you arb and do n= care to.' And agsin tellmglhor that ahs was mistaken I continued on { y way homes. That night about 11 o'clock, while I was in bed and asleep, som» one rang| the door bell. I dressed and going to the dor found that Knott was thore. I asked [bi wanted. He suid I had in I empbatically to!d him that lhe wss ins- taken-that I had done nnothidke of the kin I1 and that any chargo or assortifn of the kind was falso. The next mornipg I learned that an effort was mado by hey to swosr out They did pot auc sad, as there was not the least ground fori¥suing ono. I told Knott afterwards that if} ho ropested such bare-faced and untruthful stories I would put my boot on him.\ Mr. Youmans's high charactor as a citizen ligh novor been brought into question and his''statomont of the affair will be genorally or€dited.

The suit is that of Joshua R. Wood ngainst Ly- man Miller. The plaintiff is a sowing ma- chine agent. - Wood is a farmer living near Fino Woods.
