Lancaster LedGer; Friday while Jack
Williams, Charles Barnes aud several
others were engaged in cutting
Ice for Messrs. Fudge, of Fort
Lawn, from the Catawba river, near the
bank opposite Fudge's island, the ice
broke with Mr.. Williams and he was in
great danger of drowning, when Mr..
Barnes, who was on the bank, started to
his rescue. Mr.. Williams, who then chung
TO the side OF the unbroken ice with his
mead above water, told him to go back /;
that II he came near him the ice would
break, and they both might be drowned,
but Mr.. Barnes, who was somewhat I'M
der the influence of whisky, would not
heed the warning and PROCEEDED over the
frozen water to assist Mr.. Williams in
getting out. He got but a short distance
from the bank when down he went
through the ice, and was never seen
again for the RnTFpnt rs t.rfad h
the unbroken ice and he was drowned.
The river has been raked for his body, but
1t has not been found. Mr.. Williams man.
aged to get out and was placed on horse
and sent to Mr.. EnOch Blackmon's. When
he got there he was nearly frozen to
death and was speeches. for several
hours.
The presence in the city of Bishop r. H.
Cain naturally excited considerable in
terest in the village OF Linconville, which
is situated u miles from the city, and
which, before it became a village, be-
longed to Daddy Cain" as he was then
called. Llncolnville is settled almost en-
tlrely by cOlOred people, who hold their
titles from Daddy CAIN" and who are
now industriously and expensively en-
gagged ia defending the titles to their prop
erty in the courts. The Bishop accord
ingly appeared In Lincolnvllle on Tues
day night, and was greeted by very
large audience. He attempted to explain
his position, and at first advised the peo-
pie to resist all process of law, even to
the extent OF using the shotgun, if neces-
sary. After he had concluded his re-
marks, s. j. Lee, the well-known colored
lawyer, who is engaged in defending the
suits against the landowners, addressed
the meeting and stated that it would be
lmprudent to pursue this course. Lees
statement seems to have had a soothing
effect upon the Bishop, who made another
address, in which he stated that he had
not understood the position. He revoked
his former advice and urged the people to
fight the case in the courts, saying that be
would aid them. 1t will be remembered
that the lots in Lincolnville we're sold to
the present owners by Daddy Cain"
against whom there existed at the time a
JUDGMENT. The question is now pending
in the courts.
