Mrs. Faushee slept in front, the baby
in the middle, and Miss Faushee be-.
hind. The fend must have been
watching at the window, for later he
entered their room, jumped on the bed
at the young woman's feet and began
his terrible work of cutting her with q
razor. The old lady succeeded in get
ting the razor from the man but it
was badly capped and broken when
secured, and a part of the blade WAS
broken off and imbedded in the moth
er's hand. The young woman was
cut to the bone on the legs, breast,
and face. Her thigh was laid open to
the bone from hip to knee. Such q
horrible crime is rarely beard of in
this part of the state. The girl is
living, but may die of her terrible
wounds. The fend escaped; but is
thought to have been wounded, as
blood was found in his trail where he
stopped to rest. No real clue has yet
been discovered as to who did the
deed. Bloodhounds have been put on
his trail but they failed of their prey.
1t is thought that Andrew Jackson, q
brother-in-law of the woman, is the
man. He married the woman's sister,
and it developed that he had a wife
No. l living. The girl had threatened
severe prosecution for this crime
against her sister, and this is thought
to be the cause of the trouble. AS
further proof of this belief, jackson is
gone and no one knows where he is.
