New Store, Va, July 1, 1904.
During the early part Of last week
all this section underwent a scare such
as few ever desire 10 experience again.
The fright was brought about by a
young negro, James Saunders, who,
proclaiming loudly in a wild aud reck-
less course, that Cliff Woodbridge and
others were after him, took his breech-
loading shotgun and a belt Of shells,
and proceeded to hurry through high
ways aud hedges, threatening every
body and everything in sight. Hasten
ing to the houses Of respectable colored
people, he told a pitiful story Of a fan
cied pursuit, ending with wild gesticu-
lations aud unbounded threats, swear
ing that be would kill every white man
in the county and everybody else who
came in his path.
The reports Of SAUNDERS insanity
and reckless j%ourneyings spread like
wildhre, ana the entlre cOlOieu pop"ia'
ton was well-nigh frenzied with terror.

down through the pines without order
or care for result, so the fury Of jim
Saunders was escaped.
And the scare was not confined t
