(Sanford Herald) One of the strangest cases to be investigated by local law enforce ment officers in many a day end ed in exactly nothing Sunday night when a young Greensboro* woman who at first claimed to have been raped at gun’s point in Harnett coun ty Sunday afternoon refused to file charges when her alleged attacker was captured at Kannapolis after a state-wide police alarm. Kannapolis police freed the man late Sunday night. Sanford became the base of opera tions for a state-wide man-hunt early Sunday evening when the young woman, whose name was not revealed, telephoned to the local police station from the bus station here. Responding to the call, Police man M. M. Harris heard her'tell how she had been forced at the point of a gun to submit to one of four men with whom she and a woman com panion had. ridden from Carolina Beach to the section of Spout Springs road whore the attack took -place near the intersection of Spouts Spring -road with Highway 421, in Harnett county. Because the alleged attack hap pened in another county Policeman Harris called State Highway Patrol-* man Bill Tinsley, who in turn sum moned Harnett Sheriff Bill Salmon and broadcast a statewide alarm for the car and occupants, a description of which had been provided by the woman. Hospital examination of the wo man who claimed to have been at tacked proved that relations had taken place. Patrolman Tinsley said. The young woman told officers that the four men had picked them up at Carolina iBeach, to take them to the bus station at Wilmington and had continued, supposedly tak ing them back to Greensboro. Names or residences of the men involved were not learned here. Although the state-wide police alarm brought arrest of,the alleged attacker at Kannapolis later Sunday night, the young woman refused to Coming as interesting and wel come news to people in Lilllngton and throughout this section of Har nett county is the announcement of "Bargain Days" -by the merchants of Dunn, who are wielding a big slash-knife on prices of articles that are not only useful and serviceable but are among the very things that people are -wanting right now and many of which have been listed on the "scarce" lines. Readers of The News will need only to glance at the offerings in to day’s- paper to see clearly that the Dunn merchants mean business—and you might as well spell that word -business with capital letters, for the reductions cited can only be taken to mean the merchants are willing to let their goods go at prices that can be called nothing less than rare' bargains. Furthermore, The News is well enough acquainted with the Dunn merchants to know that their offer ing of bargains is not merely a bluff in order to get people in their stores. It is a fact that the trade event— August 14, 16, 16, In Dunn—is one that should not be missed -by any one who happens to have any means whatever of getting Into Dunn dur ing those three days. The News heartily recommends the Dunn merchants’ offerings to Its readers and sincerely hopes every one will take advantage of them. For sometime now the merchants of Dunn have been bidding for trade from this section of the county. Their advertisements in The News, they say, have been of great bene fit . to them, and because of their tried and -proven experiment of,bid ding for this trade through The News, they are using these columns in letting the peopie know about their trade event. Also, they state that ihey will continue to speak to the t>eople through The News. Dunn has broadened its mercantile facilities considerably in recent years. Added to,the ranks of the older inei'chanto are some of the most enterprising business, men in this section of the. State. Many new enterprises have been opened, and withal it now appears that Dunn is "on its way’’ as a commercial cen ter. Again, The News recommends to its readers that they patronize the Dunn iiiei’chants on their bargain days. Then they will better be able to Judge as to their future tniding. MRS. HESTER MeN. AUSLKY sign a warrant, expressing to police fear of the -personal publicity it would bring to her and her five-year- old child. Patrolman Tinsley said she stated the "had been married" -but -did not explain her present marital status. Mis. Hester ^WcNelll Ausley, 27, died Tuesday at 5:20 p. m. in Har nett County Hospital following an illness of 10 weeks.
