Columbia, Oct. 24.-Arthur Bowen.
a negro, accused Of assaulting a
white woman at Springfield, 35
miles from here yesterday, was sur
rounded in a swamp near that place
late last night, according to the last
reports coming from there. There
seems to be small chance that the
negro will ever leave the swamp
alive, as the people Of that section,
according to reports, are very much
excited.
Armed men turned out to hunt
down the negro, who attacked a
white woman in Springfield late yes
terday. If the negro is caught before
the sheriff arrives it is probable that
he will be lynched if he does not die
resisting capture. The sheriff of Or
,angeburg started to Springfield in
an automobile but the machine broke
down.
