Informed her that he had watched her for
three days with murderOus intention. In
her struggles she lost the greater part of her
clothing while he hacked away with
knife, but fortunately to no purpose. Her
screams brought aid, and the villain then
made off into a hammock close by. After a
careful search be could not be found. The
entire colored population are up in arms.
Since this occurrence two girls were
attacked on Friday eve, but he was
then driven off On Saturday night, at
dusk, Eta was subjected to another attack
from the monster close to her home. After
knocking her down he proceeded to use his
knife. Had the cuts been effectual he
would have disemboweled her, uesides cut
ting two deep cuts longitudinally on her
breast Fortunately the strokes of the
knife only cut her clothing. The father

fired his gun at the would-be murderer, but
without effect. His remark was, before
leaving, that he had to kill her anyhow
