The Neurit is at Large Special In The Stale. ltoek 11:11. ?Another diabolical crime was com milted near here yesterday or the day before. Mr. Uiehard Cornweli. one of the prominent young farmers of the Harmony section, had been away from home for several days leaving his wife in charge. During his absence .less McClcuuhnn.. an, or Jess Chick, as better known who works for Cornwall, went into the house and upon threat of "slushing Mrs. CornwelTs throat from ear to car" forced her to submit to him. He would not let j her leave the house,and threatened.! if she told on him to killed her. This morning as soon as Mr. Corn well came heme, his wife told him of what had occurred, lie took his pistol and went to the tield, where ho found the negro. and emptied his gun at him. The negro ran. Mr. Corn well gathered up bis friends and getting I nounus followed the trail to the bouse of uu uncle ofChiek's. They could not trail further. It was found that 1 lie horse from this negroe's place was gone, as was also Ilenry (JhicU, the cousin of the rapist. Throe men from the crowd, well armed, struck out for Rock Hill, where the old man claimed his son Hoary, had gone as he said to g. t the magistrate's O protection for Jess. These men rode like the wind and got thete SO minutes after Henry Chick filched his horse in a back lot. He came oack to the horse and ivas arrested and locked up.
