Shortly after 10 o'clock last night Mrs
Hough was sitting on the doorstep Of her

Mr.. James Clark, who had gone out but n
few minutes before. Suddenly she noticed
a large negro man come out of a nearby

Mr.: George Hcugh is a proof reader on

the case.
Mrs. Hough feels that she will be fully
able to identify the negro should he be
caught. Great excitement prevailed until
a late hour last night. as police and citizens
made diligent search for the man. Mrs.
Hough was able to give a good description
Of him. and 1t Is believed that he will be

Hough residence within a few minutes
after the occurrence. and many open
threats of lynching were made should the
negro fiend be caught.
There was also score near the corner
Of Duke and Pitt streets. An unknown

corner for four consecutive nights, and
last night he chased four young ladies
near st. Paurs Church. The police are on
