A diabolical uttemnt was made to ninnies Mr. Walter K Patton la>t Tuesday about 7 o'clock p ni. He is manager of the Urge branch store of the Rrxfdey Mercantile 0?. at Roddey, six miles southeast of Rock Hill, on the S. C. & (t. Ex road. About the hour named Mr. Patton walked out of the store to'close the shutters on the front windows and while he was thus engaged, having bis left arm raised, some unknown person ctouched behind a pine tree standing alongside the public road, 87 feet distant from the stole, tired a shot at Mr. Patton and it struck him directly over the heart; but a bundle of five letters and two business cards which he had previously put in the inside pocket of his coat evidently saved his life. The ball struck the bundle of letters and glanced, tearing a button from his vest, but doing no other barm. Soon as the man tired his hrst shot be jumped into the road and taking aim fired again, the hall passing orer Mr. Patton's bead. Tbe latter, who often carrie* a piste I between his store and home, had it on his person that night, and pulling it out fired onthe would-he murderer, hut be fled into the darkness and made I his escape. As soon as the facts became . known an order was sent te Cbar| lotte for bleoohounds, and at 11 o'clock that night a Mr. Shuford / J came te Hock Hill with three 1 '* ^ ' ) dogs. Accompanied hy a number ef young men in town he ; went to the scene of the attempted , murder, but owing to the amount of walking that had been done, a reliable trivi' could not be obtained, } but taking one of the dogs to the place where the man had slided : down an embankment when he | jumped into the road from behind the tree, the hound took his track ' , ! and followed it down the railroai i tnwrnl th? rivar hri#li?* A , "ll" j tracing at a break-neck speed un:l with certainty for about a<piarter of a mile, the dog left tho railroad track and took the public i roqd, and wai soen out of hearing. Finally, however, he could i be heard with Home indistinctness i about a mile up tho river, baying some one. The crowd in pursuit hastened in that direction, but when they had gone ahout a half mile the dog returned to them and the chase was given up. ? Hock Hill Herald. Six Million Boxes a Year.
