Bravery of Miss Nancy Dawson at

Bravery of Miss Nancy Dawson at
Canton, Ga, Saves Her.
Canton, Ga, Feb, 6.-An unknown
negro attempted to assault a young
woman here Monday.
The young woman's name is Miss
Nancy Dawson. She has been living
with the family of Mr.. anG Mrs Hol-
combe, and Monday, as usual, went tc
the spring for some water. The
spring was some distance from the
house, in a dense scope of woods. She
had gotten her water and was return
ing to the house when a black negro
leaped from behind a tree and threw
her down.
Miss Dawson proved to have brav.
cry enough to fight the negro and at
the same time>she cried Justify for
help. The negro became scared and
ran off. He is described by Miss Daw.
son as being young negro, very black
and was wearing a black hat and blacE
suit OF clothes at the time. He was
OF medium height.
A great effort is being made to ap-
prehend the negro. Several hundred
men have been securing the woods all
day, but So far he has not. been ap-
pretended.
One suspect has been arrested and
carried before Miss Dawson, but he
was not the right one.

RurIars Overlook Money.

Elberton, Ca, Feb. 6.-The safe of
Heard & Swift, at Middleton, G miles
above Elberton, was blown open but
aside from demolishing the safe no
injury was done. The outside door
was blown clear off, but the inside
was untouched. The robbers got
nothing, though there was $100 in the
safe. No clew to the perpetrators
has been found. 1t is thought that af
ter the explosion which demolished
the outside door, the parties were
frightened off before they could blow
open the inside door.
