Assaulted on the Highway.

While John Turner and Misses Be-
thenia Ashby and Minnie Burke were
returning from a social gathering at the
home of D. NJ. MCGEE at Winston Salem,
N. c., Saturday night, they were held
up at an isolated spot on the public
road by unknown parties, the real pur-
poses of whom were never asserted.
One man attempted to hurl Turner
from his buggy, but was knocked down
BY the escort of the two young women.
Turner then laid the whip to his horse
and drove off rapidly, having the safety
of the girls in his mind and knowing
that singly he was no match for the sew
eral assailsnts against him.
One of the sssailants fired upon the
fugitiyes several times, one ball taking
effect 10 Miss Ashby's back, one lodged
in her neck, while another cut off one
of her fingers. Neither Turner nor Miss
Burke was injured.
Miss Ashby was reported to be resting
comfortable last night, although her coz
dition is regarded as serious.
