J^ Cor. Main and Richland
Wayla.d and Assaulted IF
an the Street.
While on his way home last Satur- r
dav night about half psst eighto'elock, f
Mr. Jas. A. Bcnknight, ihe popular a
blacksmith of Mr. James E. Rawl, was
i waylaid by two negroes and assaulted F
j in the street. One of the negroes he h
, recognized as being Mack Hill, the 9
I other he did not know. The attack r
was made at the negro school house, d
- -** TIT- T~ ? T> r
near tne residence ui im. ucmi? iv, r
Richardson on Main Street. As Mr.
Bouknight approached lie saw two men
standing by the street, but paid no j
attention to them. When he had pass- E
ed the men a few feet, Hill rushed up c
behind him, grabbed him in the collar
and exclaimed: "I've got you now;
you tried to arrest me at Irmo, now
it is my time." Before Mr. Bouknight j
had time to defend himself or to realize r
what was happenning, Hill commenced t
fc;> hammer upon him with a pistol,
while his pal used a stick. The sec- $
or.d lick felled Mr. Bouknight, r.nd he j c
j lay unconscious upon the greend for j j
j 20 or 30 minutes before regaining con- j
| sciousness. j i
Comiug to his senses he managed to I t
i get to his home three hundred yards *
! away. The alarm was given and
; medical assistance summoned.
| In the meantime the sheiiff's office
' had been notified and Deputv Sheriff .
I 11
Miller went to work on the case. He |
first went to the home of Hill, but ^
finding that he was not there he went

I 1
miles above Lexington, where he was j
found in bed feigning asleep. He was !
a.-rested about 4 o'clcok Sunday morn- '
ing and brought to jail. He denies the
charge, but Mr. Bouknight is satisfied
that Hill was the one who assaulted
him.
Several months ago while Mr. Bouknight
was policeman at Irmo he had ?
occasion to arrest Hill for being drunk 1
and disorderly. At that time Hill drew
I his pistol and shot the officer without J
warning. For this offence he was ar- (
rested, and at the trial he pleaded ;
guilty to the charge and was senter.c- 1
ed to pay a fine of ?100. * * '

The severest injury is behind the
ight r and unless something unoreseen
arises he will soon be himself

Deputy Sheriff Miller deserves much
raise for the way and manner in which
ie worked on the case. Had the news

egro would have been summarily

Court Proceedings. Ti
When The Dispatch went to press
last week the case of G. P. Spivey, of
Columbia, against the Southern Rail- ^ei
way Company, a damage suit for ?25,- ?0
000 for alleged personal injuries, had 9 c
not been completed. The case was (
given to the jury on Wednesday evening,
but the jury did not bring in a f0I
forr1ir>fc until npvt, mr.rnincr. finivpv i Pn
was awarded a verdict for $i,0C0.
/la
The next case wa9 that of Miss Edith .
I}]
Gregory, of Warrenville, againt the to
Southern, in which it was alleged that ^
a passenger train carried her by the
depot at Lexington on the 31st of Juljr, ]
1908; that she was put off the train Cc
about a quarter of a mile down the mi
road, and that she sustained injuries of.
by thus being rejected from the train js ,
to the amount of ?2,000. The jury fail- an
ed to see it that way, however, and
she was given a verdict for $25. Col. gr
George Johnstone represented the railroad
and Messrs. Graham & Sturkie St
the plaintiff. ^
The rase of Mis3 Emma Blalcck, of th
Union, identically the same as that of
Miss Gregory, resulted in a verdict of
^30 for the plaintiff. The same attorneys
appeared in her case. cc
On Friday the case of A. W. Hutto, ^
of Swansea, against F. M. Hodge and cc
W. L. K. Johnson, in which the plain- in
tiff was slitting the defendants as bondsmen
of Paul E. Hutto, was tried. ^
After the evidence had been conclud- oi
ed Judge Watts directed a verdict in in
favor of the plaintiff for the full
amount with interest and costs. Tne jE
attorney for defendants, Graham &
Sturkie, will appeal to the supreme a]
court. DePass & DePass, of Colum
bia, represented the plaintiff. hi
At the conclusion of this case court la
was adjourned sine die, and all jurors ^
excused. Only about a half dozen
trial cases were dispisposed of during 2?
the term of two weeks. kj
