BRAVE NOMANS BATTLE
Drove on and Wounded n Negro RapIst.
Two Counties Hunting the
Criminal

DeLand. Fla, July 12.-Desperately
wounded by a white woman whom he
attacked, an unknown negro is hiding
in a swamp west of Crescent City. in
Putnam county. and about the swamp
is a large posse Of deputy and
citizens Of two counties who are seek
ing the would-be rapist.
Brave woman'- Fight
The scene of the negro's attempt
was at the country store of Acosta
Bros. at Hull Branch crossing. a few
miles from Pierson. About mid after
noon, when there was only a woman in
the store, the negro entered the place
and asked her for a drink Of water.
The woman handed him a glass and
told him TO go to the pump outside
and get the water. As he reached for
the glass with one hand he grabbed
her with the other. She jerked away
from him, and. turning, ran quickly
upstairs to the living rooms on the
second story. The negro followed
closely. whereupon she seized a revoI-
yer and commenced shooting a the
negro At the second or third shot
the negro dropped, being hit. and leav-
ing him there. apparently dying, she
ran TO a neighbOr's and called assist
ance. When they returned to the store
they found the negro gone, but there
was blood on the floor and on the fence
around the lot where he got over.
The sheriff was wired for and a party
in automobiles started from here with
dogs. Traces of blood were found near
the house and he was tracked by the
dogs through the village of Seville,
where he was seen and recognized by
some of the colored people of that
place. He skirted the town by way of
the muck pond on the west and went
through the Prevatt grove, and his
tracks were found on the railroad track
one-half mile beyond. Here he seemed
to have taken off his shoes and tracks
show that he was running. Either the
pursuers We're close behind him or he
thought they were, and he was very
much in a hurry. A short distance be-
yOnd there he took TO the water in a
branch and all trace of him was lost,
except that it is quite evident he en-
tered the swamp.
The swamp is in Putnam county.
The sheriff of Putnam has sent REIN
forcements from Palatka, and residents
