Rock Hill special in Chariottt Observer ol Wednesday: It ii seldom tbat the officers of tin law have a customer to deal wit! that is as downright mean ant treacherous as Harper Williams colored, of this city. His ab sence from the chaingang is o short duration, and his crimei consist of petty thieving, lighting and resisting arrest. It can bt truthfully said of the negro tha he is no coward. Some lime ag< Harper got a grip at the Caroli na Hotel that did not belong tt him, and he haB been in hiding until Officer Langley scented uun eariy Sunday morning a! bin brothor's house in the I t in rear of R. VV. Crawford's store. Mr. L iugley, knowing the negrr to be a dangerous character, waited his time and when Harper stepped out 01 the door Mr. Langley laid hold from behind. Harper was not to be outdone sc easily, aud he whirled around with a sweeping blow at 'he po hceman, who also made a pass with his club. The negro dodged and as he came up ho had his gun out and pointing it at the officer snapped it several times. Seeing it would not fire Harper m ?de a dive tor the corner of tii? building, reaching it before Officer Langley succeeded in securing his guu. The o!* ficer fired four shots at the fleeing negro, without effect. The oflkerH rode out of tlie yards on the early morning trams thinking perhaps Harper would try and board one, and so he did. As the train due to leave at 6 :30 for Marion was passing the K >ck Hill Buggy Company's plan' Williams attempted to board it, but tailed and again went to the t,?U limber.
