ATTEMPTED ASSAULT,
A Vicious Xegro at Albemarle Brutishly
Overpowered and Threatened a Little j
Child of Mr. William Saunders.
About 2 o'clock Thursday .
ternoon when lUtle Mary Saun-1
ders the 10-year-old daughter of i
Mr Villiam' Saunders, of Albe-1
marie, went frbm lier home to ;
tho nilroad trestle near the pub-
the raiiroaa tresxit, neai uiu puu
lie road, to change the cow from
its place of grazing a burly and !
vicious ne2rro. Henr
Henry Hyatt by ;
name, approached her and drew
from his pocket a pistol, and
:.after making his wishes known,
brutishlv 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
scr-eam. 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 tlie'range of bullets from
Mr. Lowder'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 were
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 the county joined
the posse at . day break this
morning and are scouring -the
country.
From a party direct from that
community the Standard learns
that the people are indignant and
that if the negro is captured
summary punishment will be his
lot.
The child was uninjured except
being rendered prostrate froin
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.
At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon
we learned by 'phone that Hyatt
had not been captured, but it is
thought the pursuing posse
would , overtake him-' yet thisj
evening. A lynching will veryj
probably follow.
; A Very Harrow Esenpe.
As No. 12 train was pulling
; out from the station Thursday
evening, the 20th, the people
thereabout witnessed what must
have been a. very thrilling ex
perience for the news boy. The
boy had been on .the graded walk
selling papers, and as his cus
tom, it was his intention to catch
the coach as it came by, but just
as he reached for the railing his
foot slipped and he fell under
neath the train. His escape was
wonderful, and the "blood ran
old over those who saw him.
The boy rolled off on the outside
the rails and was picked up by
Policeman Cruse and a stranger.
He was uninjured and. his train
stopped to take him. on.
