o'clock to-day.
The negro fled after receiving a
severe cash on the side of his neck,
inflicted by a butcher knife in the

is an excellent woman, made this
statement:
Il was in the kitchen baking when
q strange, black negro, about feet
10 inches high walked in the front
door, through my sitting room into

Il asked him what he wanted. He
grabbed me by the arm and replied
L want you l was standing at the
table at the time and as he said i
want YOU l seized the knife lying
on the table and gave him a swipe
across the neck, telling him to get
out of here
"He at once released his hold upon
my arm. threw his hand to his neck
and rushed out of the back door
saying he was going to have me ar
rested. l told him to have me ar
rested, If he wanted too; that | would
kill him if he came back
Mrs. Long stated that she did not
notice in what direction the negro
went. The only one~in the house at
the time was her year-old baby girl,
who was sitting on the floor in the
kitchen. Mrs Long called to a neigh
bor and in a few minutes collapsed.
The officers were notified at once
and they were soon upon the scene
with bloodhounds. No trace of the
negro has yet been discovered. Neigh
bors who went in to see Mrs. Long
after the assault say they found blood
spots on her face. They came from
the wound inflicted on the neck OF
