For Brutal Attack.
Arcadia, Fla., April 11.?John Smith, ,
the negro who yesterday dragged Miss
Mary Steele Ewing from her buggy, J
two miles from Arcadia, in an attempt
at criminal assault, was taken away
from the sheriff and his deputies at an
early hour this morning and hanged ,
to a tree.
The story of the attempted assault
is as follows: Miss Ewing, who had
been to the city on a shopping tour, ^
t - - - - 1- P 1
was returning to ner nome, iour nines
from the city, when the negro sprang
into the buggy, seized Miss Ewing .
and dragged her into the bushes, ,
throwing ner down and choking her. i
The young woman begged, fought and
prayed to the black tiend to let (
her go and offered to give him ?100 in |
cash if he would accompany her home, ]
but this did not stop the brute. Miss
Ewing, in her struggle, saw William
Knowles and his brother walking some j
distance from the scene. With re- '
newed vigor she screamed and this
attracted the Knowles brothers, who .
rushed to her assistance. The brute .
made his escape, and, after taking c
Miss Ewing to her home, the men J
rushed to this city and spread the
news, and bloodhounds, followed by a
posse of 300 men, were soon on the
trail. The ne^ro was found at a tur- i
pentine camp and taken before his s
victim, who positively identified him. 3
Sheriff Freeman and his deputies sue- s
ceeded in placing Smith in jail, but i
being atraid of an attack, attempted i
to spirit the negro out of Arcadia, f
when they were met by an automo- 1
bile party, held up and forced to give i
up the prisoner. 1
The negro, seeing that he was doomed
to death, pleaded for mercy, but
there was none in the hearts of the
mob who carried him to the edge of
the city, where they strung him up to
a tree. Miss Ewing positively identi- *
fled the clothing on the negro and
pointed out tne snirt sue naa torn in
her efforts to escape.
Stockman Loses Appeal;
Lower Court Sustained.
The State supreme court on Thursday
handed down an opinion in the
case of the State vs. S. W. Stockman,
in which the decision of the lower
court is affirmed. This means that
the defendant will have to serve for
a term of seven years at hard labor in
the State penitentiary.
It will be recalled that Stockman
killed his son-in-law, Hampton J.
Hartley, during Christmas, 1905, at
the former's home. Stockman is now
nearing 60 years.
Negro Shoots Two White hi en.
Hampton, April 11.?Mr. W. B.
Causey, clerk of Court for this county,
and Mr. Jesse Sheppard, a white man
living near Hampton, were shot here
last night by a negro man known as
"Peg Leg" Hughes. The particulars
of the shooting are not obtainable.
Mr. Causey was shot through the body
and has been taken to a hospital in
Augusta to be treated. Mr. sheppard
received a bullet in his right arm,
which was removed after it entered.
Hughes was arrested this morning
by Mr. D. H. Reid and was turned
over to sheriff Lightsey and Deputy
Sheriff Anderson, who carried the
negro to Columbia for safekeeping.
Hughes has served time in the Peni- ,
ICJJLUiaXJr UC1U1C.
MR. CAUSY DIED ON MONDAY. j
Mr. Cau9y died in the City Hospital \
in Augusta on Monday attefnoon at 5 J

Old Negro Silled.
Allen Samples, an old negro, was
billed under mysterious circumstances
at his home near Baxter on Saturday
morning between 10 and 11 o'clock.
It was first thought that Samples had
committed suicide, but at the inquest,
which was conducted by Coroner B.
D. Clarke on Sunday, this theory wa9
abandoned, the verdict of the jury being
that Samples came to his death by
a gun shot wound inflicted by parties
unknown. The wire and daughters of
the dead man swo:e that they heard
the old man enter the house and get
hi9 gun, but neither saw him fire the
shot. When they found him he was
lying with his gun between hi9 iegs,
and had a terrible wound in the back
of the head. The entire load ranged
directly toward the front, making it
appear impossible for the old man to
have fired the gun himself.
?
Mr. Charlie Lewis Dead.
Mr. Charlie Lewis died at his home
about three miles above Lexington on
Saturday and was buried on Sunday
at Horeb. Mr. Lewis landed in Charleston
several years ago as a sailor,
and finally settled near this place. He
was a good Christian and took an active
interest in all church work. He
was about 55 years of age.
Death of Mrs. Sean.
Mrs. Martin Senn, a highly respected
woman of the Hebron section, aged
about 70 years, died on Monday night
and was buried at Hebron church yesterday
afternoon at 8 o'clock, with
funeral services conducted by Rev.
John W. Neeley of the Methodist
church.

Corley-Roof.
On la9t Wednesday evening at 6:30
o'clock the pretty new home of Sheriff
and Mrs. P- H. Corlev was the
scene of a beautiful marriage when
their daughter. Lila Mae. heeame the
bride of Mr. Carl Anderson Roof.
To the strains of the beautiful ''Wedding
March," skilfully rendered by
Miss Hattie Smithdeal on the piano
with violin accompaniment by Prof.
David Smithdeal, aunt and uncle of
the groom, the happy couple, unattended,
took their places under a marriage
bell of white, suspended from
m arch of Southern smilax. The Rev.
J. A. Cromer, of the Lutheran church
pronounced the fateful words in a
most impressive manner. At the
close of the ceremony an elegant supper
was served the more than two
hundred guests.
The young bride wa9 lovely in her
gown of snowy satin, and carried an
irmfull of white carnations. The col>r
scheme in the reception hall and
lining room was green and red, while
;he parlor was beautiful in its decoradons
of palms, ferns and Southern
imilax. The presents received by
:he couple were numerous and hancllome.
The bride is a vouner woman of
nany graces and has always been a
social favorite with Lexingtons'
younger set. The groom is the eldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Roof. He
s a graduate of the Citadel and is
iow holding a very responsible posi:ion
in the Columbia postoffice. The
lappy couple left amid a shower of
ice on the 9 o'clock train for their
'uture home in Columbia.
