RAINS, THE DRUGGIST.
ASSAULTED BY A NEGRO.
Student at Branham Il Hughes School
Painfully Hurt.

Student at Branham Il Hughes School
Painfully Hurt.
Tucker Iced, student at Bran
ham & Hughes school at Spring
Hill, was assaulted by negro
by the name of Ike Harrison
last Tuesday, and was painfully
but not seriously hurt. The young
man, accompanied by one of his
school companions, was walking
along the road, absorbed in the con-
tents of book which he was read
ing, when he turned to address a
friend who was approaching from
behind. In turning, his umbrella
struck the negro, who was passing
by and whom he had not noticed.
Iced apologized to the negro, but the
latter became very much enraged
and would hear no explanation. A
few words followed, when the negro
drew his pistol. Before he could fire
however, Iced seized a stone and
threw it at him, striking him and
knocking the pistol from his hand.
A hand to hand fight then ensued,
during which Iced received an ugly
cash across the throat from knife
which the negro had in his hand
and also a wound on his head from
stone. The negro then took to
flight and has not since been heard
from. The citizens of Spring Hill
became very indignant over the af-
fair, and if caught the assailant will
be prosecuted to the full extent oil
the law. A reward of $25 has been
offered for his capture. Iced, the
young man who was assaulted, is
from Williamson county and is one
of the best pupils in the school. Al
soon as the fight occurred Messrs
Branhan & Hughes telephoned thu
fact TO Sheriff Hight, who, with
Deputy Sheriff John Latta spent the
whole night in and about Spring
Hill in vain search for the culp-it
