told about the disaster because he said that he as

( LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.

BTxcK's-5sss -5sss4AF4eN-S-C-,-0e October o. %
About dark, last Friday night, negro call
ed at the house Of William Logan, who with
his wife lived alone two miles from Whita-
ker's Station on the Airline Railroad,
and asked him to change a five dollar bill.
Mr.. Logan is an elderlyman, aged II years,
and his wife was 50 years old. Mr.. Logan
told the negro that ten dollars was the least
amount he had, and consequently he could
not give him the desired change. The ne
gro then told Mr.. Logan that COW was in
his field Of corn near by. MIR. Logan being
feeble, he asked the negro to drive the COW
out of the field, saying that Mrs. Logan,
would go with him and let down the fence.
Soon after they left the house, Mr.. Logan,
heard cries of distress, which he supposed
to be made by Mrs. Logan, and he fastened
in the direction whence the sound proceed
ed. She answered his call, and Mr.. Logan
meeting the negro, he asked him where his
wife was. The negro replied that she had
gone on in pursuit of the cow, and at the
same time he drew a handkerchief around
Mr.. Logan's neck, choking him, and de-
manding the ten dollars which he had in the
house. The negro continued to draw the
handkerchief more closely, until, as is
thought he supposed the old gentleman
dead, when he dragged him to the house.
When Mr.. Logan recovered his conscious
ness, he was lying on a heap of cotton, in
his house, with bed thrown over the cot
ton. He crawled put, and went to neigh
boris house. The neighbor returned with
him, when they found Mrs. Logan, under
the heap of cotton, dead, and the cotton, on
fire. The fire was extinguished, and a
search revealed the fact that the ten dollars
in the drawer was missing, but the rob-
Der left a purse of 800 in gold of which he
knew nothing. The negro escaped, but no
effort will be spared to ensure his capture.
