AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT IN GREEN
VILLE-REV. E. Il. BUST, d. D., TIL
| VICTIM.-The Greenville MountaiEea
chronicles an outrageous and dastardly as
sault committed OH one Of The most re
spectacle and highly esteemed citizens O
that place-the Rev. E. Il. BUST, D. d.,
brother of the Hon. George BUST, Probat,
Judge Of Charleston county. We ar,
grat!tied in being able to state that tie in
jury sustained by Mr.. BUST is not of
very severe nature, notwithstanding tn
authors of the villainous attack evidentl,
intended otherwise. The following is thu
account Of the outrage, as copied from th
MOuntaineer of the 18Th instant
We regret to learn that, on last Satur
day night, just after dark, as Rev Z. T
BUST, l.. D., was returning to his resi-
dence, which is but short distance beyonC
the city limits, he was struck down by
blow on the back of his head, and Remained
insensihle for some time. The reason TO
this dastardly attack has mystery con
nected with it that cannot lie solved. IL
was not robbed, nor is there any grount
fer believing that he had an enemy tina
would desire to injure him. 1t may, per
haps, be so that the intention of the party
who committed this atrocous deed wa
robbery, and that tho Decor, in receiving
the blow, uttered a cry that caused tn
villain to flee, before accomplishing hi
purpose, fearing that assistance would sool
be at hand.
We are glad TO be able to state that III
Doctor received no very severe injury
though he was bruised by tue blow an,
also by the consequent fall. 1t was mar
row escape from death, however, as til
blow seemed to have been we'll aimed, an,
was dealt with sufficient force to Gu
through the rim of the hat he wore.
