Main street as the result of a difficult

ed man, Wright by name. The cut was
in the chest and went deep. DR.. G. w.

wound will hardly prove fatal. Miller
escaped but has been apprehended and

might have resulted fatally, occurred
Saturday afternoon on Main St, when

son of the mill village was accidental

en- by a man named Threat. The child's

Chester Reporter Oct. 1. Mr.. c. T.
Hardin one of the bosses at the Eure-
ka, Mill, who shot S. l. Reynolds, an
operative in the leg a few evenings ago
in a difficulty which was reported in
the Reporter at the time, appeared be-
fore Magistrate Mcclure this morning
and furnished bond in the sum of $500
to insure his appearance at the ap-
preaching term Of court of general
sessions for trial on the charge of as
sault and battery with intent to kill. .
Henry Huey, the desperate negro, who
engaged in pistol duel at Cornwell
with Constable Will McNeal several
months ago, when the latter attempted
to arrest him for shooting and raising
a general disturbance on board one OF
the Southern railways trains and was
captured at Gastonia few weeks ago,
after having eluded the officers Of the
l., thot n0
from the county Jail Friday evening
between the hours of seven and eight
and was accompanied by Charlie Car
ter and Nathaniel Alexander, also col
ored. Carter was awaiting trial on the
charge of enticing labor, and AleXan-
der was being held for larceny. The
latter is a mere boy, about twelve
years Of age. and will doubtless be cas-
lily recaptured. It seems that Huey and
Carter in some manner had managed
to make their egress through a door
leading towards the gallows on the
second floor, and when Deputy Sheriff
Bindeman went upstairs to lock up for
the night the two darkies concealed
themselves behind the door on the first
floor as it was opened, and had no
trouble in raising the lever and maxi
ing their escape when the deputy had
made his way up to the second floor.
A piece of heavy iron several inches
long concealed behind the door showed
that it was undoubtedly the negro's in
tention to kill the deputy If necessary
in order to make their escape When
Mr.. Bindeman reached the top floor
and had entered the cells he perceived
that Huey was not about and asked
one of the two remaining prisoners
where the missing man was. The re-
ply was that he had gone, and Mr..
Bindeman at once rushed down the
stairs, only to find, however. that the
three negroes had successfully made
their getaway and were nowhere to be
seen. A vigorous pursuit was at once
instituted and Sheriff Colvin and posse
remained out all night but to no avail.
Huey and his comrades had vanished
as completely as If swallowed up, and
the long and tiresome search netted no
results.
