Tralk dogs from two counties are on
the trail OF a strange negro who this
morning slashed the clothing of a
young widow near Kite and then
poured gasoline over her body and set
fire 10 her. The negro demanded
money and the widow cut his face with
a butcher knife.
The negro a stranger in the COM

farm hand ana the woman's brother.
rhe woman had previously inflicted
a wound on his throat with a knife
she had been using TO cut broom grass.
She leaped into a shallow pond to ex-
tinguish her blazing clothes saving
herself from serious burns.
'rhe woman. q young widow, had
gone with her child TO the edge Of
a nearby swamp to cut grass, she
said, and the negro appeared eudden-
~ out OF the swamp, pointed rusty
pistol at her and first demanded
money. He soon closed in on her and
seized her nose 80 she could not
scream, but she slashed at him with
knife and drew blood from his
throat.
In the struggle the assailant drew
a small bottle of gasoline from his
pocket ami drenched the womans
clothes, she said. Then struck a match
but the clothes failed to ignite until
after the third match had been struck,
she declared. The appearance of the
negro farm hand and the woman's
brother about that time caused the
womans assailant 10 flee and with her
clothes ablaze she jumped into a
slough of water. The negro pulled
her out and after she had been car
ried home. word was telephoned here
and to Kite.
