BLACK BRUTES AWFUL DEED.
A RANDOLPH COUNTY LADY THE
VICTIM.
A Trusted Negro 0utrages, Terribly
Beats and Throws a Woman in
Cow Stall, Where She Is
Found by Her
Husband.

Early Monday morning news reached
Dawson offs brutal assault upon awhile
lady at her home in Randolph county
Saturday. 1t was one of the most hor-
rlble crimes ever perpetrated in this
section of Georgia.
Mrs. John Bass, lady of very high
Standing, and with the very best fami-
iy connections, was brutality assaulted
and nearly killed by trusted negro
servant, who was employed on the
place, and In whom Mr.. Bass had great
confidence. ~
Inc negroes father was a corpse on
the plantation when the horrible deed
was done. He came up to the house
posslbl y tosee something about bury
ing his father, when he found Mrs
Bass out In the cow lot. He assaulted
ner ana beat her over the head. cutting
fearful gashes in her face with a heavy
cudgel, He left her then in a cow stall
dead as he supposed.
Her husband found her and thouobt
probably COW had knocked her down
and gored her. While the wonnds
We're being dressed she revived a little
ana as they were sewing up a cut near
her mouth she said DON'T hurt mo
so" Her husband told her thev were
JusU trying to dress the wounds where
the COW had hooked her. She said at
was no COW. 1t was yellow negro
man, and gave one more little
description of him that located
the guilty party, ELot Warren, a
mana on the place. She then
tainted and could tell no more.
Inc negro man, meanwhile thinking.
that she was either dead or sure to die
before she could ever disclose the Sc
cret, was boldly remaining around the
house, offering his services in anv wav
he, could render them AS soon
as he found out that Mrs, Bass was
coming to life he disappeared before
ne could be caught. Several posses are
securing the country for the villain.
NO ARREST YET,
1t was reported in Dawson Mon
day afternoon that the demon had
been captured, but telephone
message from Cuthbert to THE News
just before going to press said no arrest
had been made, but that a posse was
then IN pursuit of the villain near Fort
Games.
There is a great deal of excitement
over the matter, and the brute will in
all probability be lynched as soon as
caught.

effect in the body. There is no clew as
to who did it. The negro may recover.
At a called conference last M onday
night Rev. j. G.. Corley was unanimous
ly called to serve the Baptist church in
definitely. Brother Corley has had
charge of the church here for the past
four years, and it has grown wonderfully
under his pastorate.
The services at the Baptist church
were very impressive Sunday night.
Brother Corley preached especially to
the young ladies and gentlemen who are
leaving our little village to attend school
elsewhere.
Miss Jessie Jones, who has been teach
ing a music class here for the past two
months, has completed her work. Miss
Jessie endeared herself to every one, and
we all regret to part with her.
Ernest Brim, Jessie Hass and Jim
Willis Harris, accompanied by Prof. w,
Il. Hitler, will leave soon for Newberry,
5. o., where they will enter college.
Misses Alvia McLain and Ella Quails

Seventy-ive per cent of the cotton

The many friends of Will Hass will be
glad to know that he is improving.

STATE SPECIALS.

An exchange gives the following
item about cotton: Cotton was first
planted in South Carolina, before Geor-
gia was state. One of the successful
cotton factories first run in Georgia was
in Ebert county, and every hand in it
except the superintendent was negro
slave.
DIR. q. M. Kaigler, free silver popu-
lite, is in the race in Quitman for
the Legislature. The doctor has only one
opponent and he is negro. The pollti-
cal situation in Quitman county is not
beautiful.
Hon. E. L. Hudson, ex-representa-
tive, is opposing Hon. A. S. johnson,
democratic nominee, for the legislature
in Baker county. The race is said to be
red hot already and getting hotter.
The record was broken and a muir
derer was banged in Georgia last Friday,
and in Atlanta at that. The murderous-
lY inclined should be wary now.
-Ribe Wells, who killed Robert Cobb
in Lee county, has been released from
Jail on $4,000 bond. Manslaughter is
the crime charged.

A MONSTER ALLIGATOR KILLED.
He Was an Old Inhabitant, aud Had Been
Terror for Years.

Terror for Years.
Fishermen who have been accustom-
ed to visit Bells old mill i'm Webster
county have for years heard of the ex-
istence of monster alligator in the
pond, but the creature has not been
seen often and many doubted his exist
ence. But there is now no longer any
doubt that he was there.
The pond has been very low and the
miller has been watching for the cd
fellow to make his appearance. He
did so a day or two ago, and a we'll
directed bullet from Winchester fin
ished the existence of the terror.
The body, which is now hanging to
a tree near the mill, is thirteen feet
and eight inches in length and weighs
346 pounds. 1t is the largest alligator
ever killed in this section, and he is
supposed to be 30 or 40 years old, as his
presence has been known for at least
half that time and he was snot small
when first discovered.
Hundreds of shots have been fired at
him and he has played havoc with
stock whenever an opportunity Of
fered itself.

RAILROAD TRESTLE BURNED.
Thirty Feet of the Columbus Southern
Track in Flames.

There were no regular trains or mail
service over the Columbus Southern
Wednesday and Thursday. The cause
was the burning of thirty feet of
trestle between Cole Station and Par
rott.
The fire was discovered by some one
who was walking down the track, and
the agent at Parrott was notified and
men quickly dispatched to the
scene of the confagration. When they
arrived the flames were burning Yigor-
ously and had gotten considerable head
way, and were not extinguished before
some thirty feet of the trestle had been
burned.
tits thought by some that the fire was
of incendiary origin, but the railroad
people are inclined to the opinion that
it was caused by Goals dropping from an
engine.
A force of men were put to work re-
pairing the trestle as soon as possible,
and the regular schedules were resumed
Friday.
