Correspondence of The Observer, v Aahevllle, Oct An exciting in cident occurred 5 on Bewucawher mountain late yesterday afternoon. Miss Gracie Cook, a girl 1 years of aget was strolling . on the mountain not a great distance from her home, when a negro suddenly stepped from behind a clump of hushes and told her to stop. The girl was badly frighten ed' and started to run. The negro picked up a rock and hurled it at her and then gave chase. - The girl ran a distance up tho mountain and then, striking a path, out-footed the negro down the mountain side. The negro followed the girl to within a short distance of her home and then fled. The officers were notified and a depu ty sheriff, two patrolmen and the city detective went on the case. They took the fcloodhound "Hope" and trailed the negro along the mountain top for a distance of two or three miles and Into, a cove where the officers became entangled in barbed wire fence: and, darkness having overtaken them, gave up the chase. The; dog followed the trail for quite a . distance after the officers had given up the hunt. The officers say that they have a line on the man and that they will yet 1ut him behind the bars.
