About 2 o'clock Thursday af ternoon when little Mary Saun ders, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. William Saunders, of Albe marle, went from her home to the railroad trestle noar the pub lic road, to change the cow from its place of grazing a burly and vicious negro, Henry Hyatt by name, approached her and drew from his pocket a pistol, and after making his wishes known. brutishly attempted to criminally assault her, at the same time threatening to kill her if she gave an alarm. Mary's little brother had accompanied her, however, and when he learned of the negro's purposes he began to scream. The agonizing cries of the two children attracted the at tention of Mr. Lowder, who was passing, and as he came in view of the scene, the brute let go his hold upon the little girl and fled The negro was foiled in his hellish intent, and succeeded in eluding the range of bullets from Mr. Lowdor's pistol. The alarm was spread over the town and community in a very little while, and within a short time quite a posse of men wore in pursuit of the negro. At 3 o'clock this (Friday) morning a trace of the negro was found in a corn field and several shots were fired at the would-be rapist and murderer, but the shots went wide their mark. Hundreds of people from Nor wood and all adjacent towns and from all over tho county joined tho posse at day break this morning and are scouring the country From a party direct from that community the Standard learns that the people aro indignant and that if the negro is captured summary punishment will be his lot. The child was uninjured except being rendered prostrate from fright. She is of a highly re spected family. The negro is a son of Henry Hyatt, a one armed negro who lives at Cottonville. Daily of 21.

Instead of coming up town with tho officer Dr. Moore asked permission to speak to Conductor M. P. Kuss, and he was granted that privi lege. His business was to escape the law, and as he approached the conductor, tho doctor (?) said: "What is the faro from Charlotte to Concord?" Ho was told s((l .00, whereupon he passed the. coin to the con ductor, and as a consequence Policeman Kerns let him go. Dr. Moore took the next train for Salisbury and is now doubt less in more congenial company than he would have been here. Will Assist With the Ohio State Institute. Prof. C. S.
