NEGRO RUN DOWN BY DOGS
BlaCk.Skinned Brute Enters Home OF

l
aCk.Skinned Brute Enters Home OF
". ]. Mcleod, In Sampson County.
Clinton, Jan. 19-This MORN
ing between 9 and 10 o'clock a
negi entered the home of w. j.
Mcleod, a well-known citi-
zen of Mo ltonville. and at
tempted criminal assault upon
Mrs. Mcleod, who was alone in
the house at the time. The
brute choked her and threatened
to cut her throat, but she broke
from his grasp and ran scream
ing into the yard. Pursuing and
overtaking her, he dragged her
back into the house, when her
screams were heard by Oscar
Byrd, a young white man who
was passing, and who ran to the
door of the house. The negro
saw him entering the door and
fled. He was lost sight of in the
woods before the alarm could be
given. A telephone message to
Clinton, asking that the blood
hounds from the convict camp
be sent, was promptly responded
to the Sheriff McPhail and a
posse, accompanied by Mr.. James
Draughon, manager of the
hounds hurried to the scene.
Although the track was
some three hours old when
reached, the dogs followed it
steadily and the brute was over
taken in the edge of Six Rams
swamp. where he was captured
after some resistance. He was
carried before Mrs. Mcleod, who
identified him positively as her
assailant.
1t began to look as if the crowd
was going to make short shift Of
the negro when Sheriff MePhail
got him in a buggy and ran his
horse to Clinton, a distance OF
four miles, getting the prisoner
safe in Jail as great crowds Of
angry men gathered about.
SOLDIERS GUARD JAIL.
Fearing that an attempt might
be made to lynch the. prisoner,
the sheriff wired Governor Kit
chin to order the Sampson Light
Infantry to guard the Jail. The
Governor promptly wired Cap
tain Faircloth to report with his
company to Sheriff McPhail. and
the Jail is being guarded BY the
soldiers tonight. So far every
thing is quiet about the Jail. and
the law-abiding spirit Of the
people of Sampson will no doubt
prevail and prevent further offer
of violence toward the prisoner,
awaiting suitable punishment
to be meted out to the wretch at
the February term of court, now
soon to convene.
The negro is a new arrival in
this community and gives his
name as William Ward. He
says he came from Oklahoma.
but this is not believed. Mrs.
Mcleod fortunately received nc
injury further than a serious
nervous shock resulting from
her terrible fright.
This is an instance in which
the bloodho1nds made good.

FULLERTON Monday, April
10, 1909, at 5 p. m., God sent His
Death Angel to visit the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Fuller, aud
claimed their darling little CIR.
Josie Hautense, whom He gave
them to make their home happy
for only short time. She was
niue years, three months and ten
days old.
TO the threshold Of. another hap
py family circle has the grim arch
er of death stolen, and cast his dart
into the mortal being of little Hau-
tense. This precious bud was
plucked in early childhood, and
transplanted on the celestial shore,
to bloom anew in heaven. Is Hor-
tense dead? No, she is not dead,
but gone to live with her Maker,
| who has seen fit to call her from
this world of trouble to that beau
tiful home in the realms of bliss.
She was sweet child and was
loved by all who knew her. We
hated to give her up but God wills
Lit SO, aud bis will must be done
| He said: "Suffer little children t.
come unto me, and forbid then
| not, for of such is the kingdom o
heaven"
This lovely flower dropped ant
withered and died, and so with yd'
bereaved ones, cold death will COM
aud chill your hearts. and weeping
friends will lay you beneath tn
turf. But like this flower, you toe
shall awake again in that brigh
Hand of rest; and then, alb ther
lshaIl you know sweet Hautense.
