cia1 from Mount Airy, N. c., to The
News and Observer says that yesterday
afternoon near Friends Mission, Va,
Miss Sadie Cook, a respectable young
white girl, was raped by Henry Wall,

complishing his purpose Wall dealt his
victim several blows yer the head
with a hoe, knocking her senseless, and

was left lying bloody nearby. Wall
then cut the girls throat, severing the
windpipe and dragging the body some
fifty yards up a ravine, threw it into
a branch where it was soon afterwards

stains from his clothing. The excite
ment became so intense that this after

is a Cuban by birth. has himself had
yellow fever and has spent much time
in places where it has existed. 1t is felt
that his opinion Of the disease should
be known before any stringent meas
ures of precaution are taker, especially
in view Of the tact that the regulations
incident thereto always involve hard

that the mortality in the present cases
has been so light as to make the Off

when DR.. Guietras will reach Ocean
Springs, but the assumption is that he
will start promptly for that place. The
action to be taken hereafter will de-
pend almost entirely on the nature of
his report. If the disease is found by
him to be yellow fever active steps will
be taken to prevent it's spread and to
stamp it out. A camp of detention will
be established and other necessary
measures. The opinion of DIR. Rail
