Little Five Year Old Girl Outraged by

a Little Five Year Old Girl Outraged by a
Burly Negro.
Special to the Gazette
Waco, Tex, March 27.-At Martin, this
county, a most horrible outrage occurred
last Friday. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: Little Pearl Day, the five-year-olG
daughter of George Day, farmer, was
playing out in the yard when John Reed,
negro farm hand, who Is employed on
farm in the vicinity rode up on his horse
and began in friendly way to talk about
the game they were playing. The house is
located about three hundred yards from
the fence, and the father of the little girl,
while he saw the man, suspected nothing
wrong. The negro man asked if little
Pearl would not like to take a ride on his
horse and, innocent Of his purpose, she as
sented. They rode for a distance when
the little girl said it was becoming dark
and she thought she had better return
to her mamma. ''Oh no." said the brutal
negro" we will ride on for half a mile
further until we come to the MILL
The girl thought it would be all right and
they continued. Just before they reached
the mill, the negro took the girl from the
horse and told her that they would gather
violets in the woods before they returned
and it was there that he accomplished his
awful purpose. After he had done the
deed, he took the little girl within a short
distance of her home and turned her loose.
When the facts Of the thing become known,
her father, accompanied by A. Phillips, A.
n. Woodward. Tom Wise and the majority
of the colored citizens in that vicinity
started out in pursuit. They ransacked
the woods for two days and nights and fin
ally found their victim in the hollow an
old tee. He prayed for mercy and many
threats of lynching were made, but the
more conservative said to spare his life.
He was taken here and placed in the hands

JUDGE CLARK said at Mckinney that
if he had not halted Judge Reagan
during the fighting in the wilderness,
the latter might have been captured
and killed by the Yankees, and the
people would have thereby escaped the
interstate commerce law, and the re-
port says the idea was loudly ap-
plauded. It is a great campaign, and
now is the time to subscribe.

Mr.. WATTERsoN is one of the most
ardent of hero-worshippers, and urged
the nomination of Cleveland until New
York declared for Hill; then he de-
clared it to be folly to fly in the face of
New York and began to advocate the
selection of Western man. Now the
other hero-worshippers are berating
Watterson. 1t is great crime in this
country not to believe that one man is
its only hope.

THE argument in behalf of Cleveland
that his supporters will knife Hill if he
is nominated, but that Hill and Tam
many would Loyalty support Cleveland,
because they are machine" Democrats,
is peculiar argument from the libelers
who charge that Hill sacrificed Cleve-
land in 1883, and yet the mugwump
press is full of it. 1t goes to show that
to be liar does not OF necessity pre-
vent one from being a fool
