A Prisoner Hurls Himself Out OF
Car Window.

The Augusta, Ca, Chronicle says
passengers coming in on the Georgia
Railroad train on Thursday told Of a
grim tragedy which occurred half
way between Dearing and Sawdust,
and for which the railroad authorl-
ties nor the officer in charge were IN
any way to blame.
A negro prisoner was being car
ried to Augusta by Sheriff Perry of
Columbia county. The man was hand
cuffed, and sat on the inside of a
seat, by the side of the officer. While
the vestibule passenger train was
bounding along at forty miles an
hour, and with no word of warning
whatever, the negro leaped from the
window of the coach, and was hurled
to the ground eight feet below.
The nearby passengers were nor
rorstricken. Many on the same row
with the negro and his prisoner look
ed far out the window to catch a
glimpse of the rash prisoner, and
few saw his body strike the ground
with terrible force, bounce once or
twice like ball and then the negro
is said to have fallen limp. on his
side, as if his neck had been broken
by the fall.

GREATLY SHOCKED.
The Odd Experience of a PhiIa-
deIphia Woman.
Turned on Light and Found Burglar
to Be Man From Whom She Had
Been Divorced.

To be confronted by the form of
crouching burglar, to fire at him, AM
then to fash up the light and find her
self face to face with man from
who she had been divorced in Cali
fornia, such was the dramatic ex
perience Of Mrs. Richard Smith, o.
327 West York street, Philadelphia
Thursday.
1t happened at about 5 o'clock il
the morning. Mrs. Smiths husband
is travelling man at present on the
road. She was sleeping in her house
with her three children.
Awakened by the noise of someone
moving about in her room, Mrs
Smith saw the shadow of a man s
| figure near the bedroom. Reaching
under her pillow. she dew out a
revolver, and, raising herself Oh the
bed, fired. The bullet crashing into
the doorjamb and a mans voice yell
ed:
Don't shoot
Mrs. Smith reached to the side of
the bed and turned switch that
flashed up the lights. She saw the
face of man standing in the door
way. She gave a scream as she
recognized the features and dropped
her revolver. Whether or not the
man recognized her, she does not
know. AS he saw her drop~the pis-
tol he made a jump for the stairs,
cleared them in three or four bounds
and bolted from the house.
Mrs Smith summoned the police
by telephone, and when they reached
her house, told her story. She declar-
ed positively that she recognized the
man as William Benson, about forty
five years old, and that the shock of
recognition made her drop the pis-
tol. She told the police that she was
California girl and had married
Ben son in Sacramento. He was, she
asserted, the black sheep of well
known family, his father having been
= wealthy "Forty-niner" and his
brother today being a well-known cit
izen of the California city. She de-
clared Benson had been convicted of
Highway robbery in California. Under
her divorce from him she had mar
ried her present husband, who is
well-known resident of the north
eastern section of that city.
Mrs. Smith was completely unnerv-
ed by her experience. Now that he
knows where I am, am afraid he
will come back and murder me, as
perhaps he actually sought me out
to do me HARM she told the police.
II had put him completely out of nay
life and to encounter him in such
dramatic matter is terrible
The police of the Fourth and York
streets station say they think that
Benson was not aware of the identity
of the resident of the house which he
entered at was just an accident that
he should have broken into the DOM
icile of his former wife, the police
say.
They are working On the theory
that he is the man wanted for jail
breaking by the authorities of Cali

alarm for the man with his descrip-
ton. A police guard is being kept

OUTRAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Daughter OF Wealthy Farmer
Assaulted by Fiend.

A special dispatch from Salisbury,
y. c., to The News and Courier says
the sheriff of that county, number of
official officers and posse of citizens
are securing the surrounding coun-
try for a negro who Thursday made
an attack upon Mrs. D. w. Tester,
daughter of one of the wealthlest
men in this county. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the black man will be
lvnched if caught.
Mrs. Tester was on her way to visit
a neighbor, when the negro accosted
her at a small creek near her home.
He took bottle containing pungent
LIQUID from his pocked and ordered
her to drink it or be killed. Mrs.
Tester took the bottle and started to
run, screaming for help at the top of
her voice.
The black brute pursued and
caught her and threw her into the
creek. Mrs Tester made her way
out of the water only to again fall
into the clutches of the negro, who
took her to house some distance
from the road. She found her way
home in an exhausted condition six
hours after she had left. She is un-
able to say what occurred after the
negro took her to the house near the
creek.
