A Madison County Negro's
1 Dastardly Crime.
HIS VICTIM MAY , DIE.
Robert Scale Attempted to Outrage

He Shot and Maimed Her. . ,
Madison ooanty may have a lynoh
ing in the near future Had the crime
committed there by Robert Scales, a
burly negro, occurred among the Rot-
headed people of the South, the per
petrator would soon be summarily
dealt with by those whose idea of
meeting out justice are not oonnned
to a court room. But North Caro
linians are conservative: they rarely
take the law in their own hands. If
lynching is ever justifiable, it would
be so in this ease of crime that for
brutality and flendlshhess stands out
prominently among the horrors of
the State. Bat the fiend's girl via
tiro may recover, so he may perhaps
esuape a capital punishment -
The Executivexiffloe was today in
formed of the particulars of the as
sault on and perhaps fatal shooting of
Miss Belter, a young white girl of
Madison county, by Robert Scales.
The story is one of neastly horrible
detail- - .
One day last week Visa Belter was
sitting dreamily in front of her fa
ther's doorstep in . the bright sun
shine of an Indian summer day, and.
the peaceful country home, with the
little sister playing within the hall,
and the pigeons fluttering around the
barn yard looked little like the scene
of an approaching tragedy Over in
distant field the father and broth
ers were at work ; the young woman.
her morning duties ended, was at
home alone with, her sister, and in
dulging probably in some dajf dream
of bndding womanhood. if 5
.Then it was that Scales, big and
burly and blaok, stepped on. the
scene. It must nave neen a strange
oontrast as he approached, his dark
faoe gleaming with passion ; but the
girl, was hot afraid and greeted him
oheerfully. ' ,stt
A moment later the vile suggestion
of the nro made her start back,
affrighted. The burly negro was no
longer a man, for the beast in his na
ture, thinly disguised, bad turned
him into a raging madman, lie
seized the girl roughly by. the arm
and commenced to pull her, scream
ing with terror; across the yard.
The little sister ran to the door.
The fiend pulled a pistol and poked In
his victim's faoe:"lf you yell again
m kill you," he hissed. A louder
fee ream was the result, but It died on
the yoang woman's lips. For the cruel
finger, tumbling on the trigger, had
tightened. And when the report
died away, and the smoke oleared,
Miss Belter lay prostrate. In her head
was a horrible wound, irom wmon
the blood gushed like a geyser. -
The father and brothers hastened
to the scene, but the fiend had fled.
The little sister was bending over
the wounded viotim, . -
The ball had entered near the
right eve, entirely destroying that
organ. j,Tbe petition received by the
Governor asklog for a reward from
Madison . oltiiens, states -that the
young woman may pxsibly recover,
. So the Governor will effer a bun

FIRST WHITE MttN IN YOSEatlTE.
Col. J. M. Roane, of Franklin, Waaw A New Depot at Atlanta Gen. Hoke
v With the Disooverer.
. A Raleigh gentleman has just re,
oeived from Col. J. M. Roane, of
Franklin, a letter of the grertest pos
sible historical interest, as it de
scribes theciroumstanoes leading up
to the discovery of the world famed
Tosemite valley and falls. Colonel
Roane was a member of the company
which first entered the valley and
oaptnred and subdued the tribe of
Tosemite Indians and their old chief.
Bis party was the first body of white
tnen that ever saw the beauty and
grandeur of the famous tills and val
ley. : '
It was in the winter of 1860-'B1 that
Col. Roane left with a body of troops
ordered out by Governor MoDougle
to fluell fierce and aggressive Indians
disturbances, t csQ-' .-i
.The tribe whioh they wen pureu
ing finally retreated, after, several
skirmishes, : into the wilds of the
mountains, a country into whioh no
troops or even the boldest of white
hunters had up to that time pene
trate! The detachment had as a
guide an old Indian chief, of a tribe
hostile to the Tosemite Indians.
Under his guidance, the troops con
tinued to push forward;' and he led
them on andbu until finally they
pieroed into the silence of the grand
valley, now so well known of tourists.
CoL Roan describes the sight of
the valley and the falls as the most
sublime speotaole of nature. The
troops completely surprised the In
dians who fanoied their position im
pregnable, and captured the entire
tribe, along with their chief, an old
brave, eighty years old, A treaty
was made and the captured Indians
were led from their natural fortress
to the valley of the San Joaquin and
put to work on a government reser
vation, ' , . 'i
After the capture the old, Tose
mite Chief told Major J. O. Savage,
who commanded the party that they
were the 'first white men, who had
ever entered the valley, which had
been given "them by the Creator at
the foundation of the world, with a
solemn command that a white man
should never be allowed to enter its
saored walls, under pain of losing
their paradise; that uow, by careless
ly letting in their foe, their inbert
tance was forever forfeited.
Col. Roane says that after Major
Savage's report oame out, many tour
ists entered the valley, and that now
there are several1 parties thatelaim
the honor of having been the original
dlsooverers. He refers to a Dr. L. H.
Bannell, of Horner. Minnesota, who
has written a book concerning the
trip, he having been with the party.
Col. Roane is an old man now and
will never again leave his Franklin
County home to re-visit toe grand
canyons and wonderful falls and
mammoth handiwork of nature
whioh the party, of which he was
one, discovered forty-five years ago
and displayed prou ily fortheadmi

AGAINST THE LEASE.
A Lawyer Think the Lease of the

ThaCaueaaian will print this week
aa article from a prominent attorney
setting forth hi reasons why th leas
of th North .Carolina road to th
Southern Bailway I unconstitutional.
Th attorney will appear with ai-Judg
Spier Whitaksr. who has been retained
by the Alliance to fight the lea. Th
following ar torn of th suggestions
made to defeat the consummation of
the lease i " jr.'. "
The legislature can defeat the end
of the road by hostile legislation.
The State can enact that no railroad
ahall be operated under a lease until
the lcaae 1 approved by tha Bailroad
Commlssionsrs, or lf th Commission
ers see fit, they ean declare It void. .
The lea does sot go Into effect un
til after December 81. 1896, and there
la yet tim to institute ' legal proceed
ings and obtain an tnjunstion against
th consummation of the contract .
Th Southern Bailway obtained it
charter in Virginia to evade othr
State's laws. Th fact that the char
ter waa obtained la Virginia do not
