ALLEGED ASSAULT IX AIKEN. Cirover C. Brown Escapes Fury of Warrenville >Iob?Rushed to 1 Ausrusta. Aiken, March 21.?Grover C. Brown, Southern Railway agent at Warrenville, this county, a young married man of one of Aiken's prominent families, was arrested, charged with as-1 sault with intent to ravish a young ; married woman of Warrenville, the warrant for his arrest having been ' sworn out at 7 o'clock tonight by the; woman in question. This is the latest' x f 4-Vlof VlQVO ' iurn in a series ui cnuua imu * occurred since last night when, by a j quick move on the part of Magistrate j Eldrids:e Craig, young Brown was rushed off to Augusta to avoid the I fury of a quickly gathered mob, who stormed the depot at Warrenville in search of the supposed offender. Ar-' rived in Augusta, Brown communicat ed with the Aiken authorities and "was brought back to this city today and j lodg-sd in jail, where he remained for; but a short while, being released af-| ter a brief investigation of the situa-i ^ tion at "Warrenville He was re-arrest- ; ed tonight on a warrant taken out j before Magistrate Craig.* Brown's Version of Affair. It seems that upon the arrival at j Warrenville of the night train from. Columbia, bound for Augusta, a young matron, carrying in her arms a consilerable number of bundles, alighted from the train. Mr. Brown, it is stat* ed, secured* her arm and endeavored to assist her across the adjacent trolley track, whereupon she began to i I scream, crying that he was insulting her. Mr. Brown released her, return ing to his office. With inconceivable rapidity the news went through the little village that Brown had most flagrantly insulted the young woman, and a mob of armed men gathered and marched to 6 the depot. But when they arrived Magistrate Craig had secured the young man, and both had boarded the train passing from Branchvill-e to Augusta. Thus was the mob eluded. Brought to Aiken. Rural Policeman Hollev was in- j formed of the affair through a tele- i 4 -phone message irom Augusta, ana ne, accompanied by Sheriff Raborn and Rural Polic-emen Busbee and Samuels, met the 7.30 a. m. train at Langley and from there escorted the young man to the Attven county jail, Magistrate Craig leaving the train at "Warrenville. However, Mr. Brown was confined to the jail for only about two hours. An investigation was evidently gone! into at Warrenville, for an order was j received about 9 o'clock, requesting; "his release; that there was nothing i to the affair. Immediately after his release an interview was obtained with Mr. Brown. "fcv the News and Courier correspond- j ^nt, at which time the former gave the j following account of the affair: fctnfpnipnt Itv Brown. Upon the arrival Wednesday night ** of Second Xo. 7, from Columbia, a lady alighted and requested that packages, which she carried, be al-, lowed to remain temporarily in the office:'that is, the Warrenville office. ! ; Brown was busy at the key for the1 moment and the woman was seated, j At the expiration of possibly three i minutes Mr. Brown became disengag-j ed, turned to the woman and inquired i of her what service he could render, I whereupon she reiterated her desire to have her packages remain in the care ^f 4-Vn-\ o ? ?/^ I r\ tViir? t rv Q f VI LJUC U11H.A,, a.uu > "?o "&VI.V * quiesced. Leaving his key open and authorizing Operator J. M. Rush to take his chair, he escorted the lady from the office?which is temporarily a car box, since the recent destruction by fire of the depot building?across the railroac. track. Owing to the late conflagration at the station the yard is dark and Brown deemed it incumbent upon himself to further assist her across the adjacent trolley track, which is some fifty years distant from the office. And it was here that she screamed, crying % ) that he had insulted her by securing her arm in the dark. Astonished at this reception of his solicitude, Brown promptly released " her arm, asked her pardon and returned to his office, where he encountered Marshal Rhett Lowe, who asked: "'What oi>- earth is the matter with that woman?" "I simply took ner arm, as i wouia i that of any woman, to assist her across the track," was Brown's reply. Ku^lied to Auernsta. Mr. Brown entered the office, cleared the wires, and with the constable stepped across the street, for coco colas. Later retracing their steps to the office, Magistrate Craig had appeared. He informed Mr. Brown that a mob was gathering for the purpose of d:al ?lng summary punishment, and thai he ?Brown?had better leave the office, ?r car, go home and extinguish all house lights, for he expected trouble from the mob. Brown expressed doubt of this, and asked if such were possible, and to i this the magistrate replied that it was not only possible, but very definitely probable, and that it was best for Brown to get away as expeditious ly as passible, rather than to remain there and run the risk of being shot. Mr. Craig and Brown then boarded Train Xo. 17, whie'i was just passing through, for Augusta. On arriving in Ansrusta. the tWO called at the office of the Western Un- i ion Telegraph company, from which Brown conversed with 'he operator at "Warrenvilie, the latter informing him that th-: re were some 40 or 00 armed men on the immediate premises and that they had already broken into the, express room, or car, in search for him?Brown. Brown then communicated with Rural Policeman Holl-ev, at Aiken, and related the matter to him, requesting f?i~ clmriff ond tho pjitirp fnrpp i Cii K' Olitim cmu -.w to meet him at Langl-ey upon the ar- 1 rival of Train No. IS, east-bound, due at 7.30 a. m. Proposed Compromise. The authorities went down to Langley, met the train and aeeompa-j nifd Brown to the Aiken county jail.! After Brown liad been in jail for; about an hour, the sheriff received ad-j vices from the husband of the woman! in question, requesting the immediate j rel-ease of Mr, Brown, under the proviso that the latter pay the lady $15, j recompense for mental anguish, but Brown's counsel, the Messrs. Hender-j sons, declined to sanction such a set-: dement. This concludes the exact story of Mr. Brown, the only alteration made, being that Mr. Brown spoke in the first person <oid the reporter took down his statement in the third p-er-1 son. Mr. Brown returned to Warrenville this afternoon and resumed his duties j at the office, at 3 o'clock, but was re- i arrested tonight an-d brought back: h-ere to jail. CAPTURE ONI OF ALLEN GANG. . __ j Detectives Brim. Young Sidna Edwards Back to Hillsville Jail? - - c*:n /via Trail XlUiiicis .mm vu iimim j Hillsville, Va., March 22?Sidna Ed-. wards, a tall rugged mountaineer of 22, sat calmly in the darkness of the little brick jail here tonight, the first catch of the posses who have been scouring the mountains for those of the Allen gang who got away after the court house assassination of March 14, when a judge, prosecutor, sheriff and two bystanders were killed and two others were seriously wounded. Tonight young Edwards, emaciated and worn from a week's wandering in the thickets, protests his innocence of the indictment of murder against him, and the hunters, spurred on by a day's success, are up in the Blue Ridge hunting, for the same charge, his brother, Wesley Edwards, his uncle, Sidna Allen, and his cousins, Claude and Friel Allen.

He was unarmed, and when he woke the detectives were at his side. He made no resistance and went to a farmer's house, near Lambsburg, Va., and started for Hillsville with his captors early today. Jack Allen, his un-, cle?one of the Aliens who was not at the court house 011 the day of the tragedy?joined his nephew 011 the way in and galloped along with the party. They cantered in and paused while the moving picture men clicked off a 1 few hundred feet of film. Detectives carrying rifles followed closely. The party turned in at a little lane, where | the raiders a week ago drew rein and | left their ponies while they went to | wipe out the human fabric of Carroll county court. Sidna left his mount and was hustled to the little jail across i stables. He protested against being ; put into a musty cell and wanted to : occupy the corridor, but his keeper 1 was stern and locked him up. Jack Allen came ou<: and said to the ! newspaper men: A Peaceable 3Ian. i ''Mv nephew, Sidna, is the most | peac-sable man in the county. He i wouldn't know what to do with a gun | if lie had it."

N""? ~ TT : ^..i? ,v %% w* ILie IHyjJUUl W1UC, next Sunday afternoon, to hear the report of this committee respecting its findings. A report of the same will be given in these columns. i Pastor Russell's discourse today was reminiscent of Arabia as the Cradle of our Race. His text was: "As all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive; every man in his own order."?I Cor. xv, 22, 23. Arabia is accredited with being the * X i X tTT U i IT'.IC? ancient jiiucii, t'usiw uui m \> um the specially prepared Garden wherein oar first parents had their trial?not for a reward of heaven or a punishment of eternal torment, but for a reward of everlasting life under perfect earthly conditions, or for a penalty of death. Here man, created very good, in the image of his Creator, sinned and became subject to the penalty of sin? "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Here also is Mount Ararat, on which the ark rested after the llood, and from which came forth the family of Noah to people the earth afresh. Thus was Arabia twice the Cradle of mankind. "Israel Math Not uotainea.The first declaration of the Gospel, the first mention that Divine favor would yet rescue mankind from the reign of sin and death, was made, not publicly, not to all of the race, but merely to one man, the friend of GodAbraham. But God gave Abraham words only, "Wonderful words of life"?that in him. and in his posterity eventually all the families of the earth should be blessed. But there was not a sign of change so far as the Divine dealings were concerned. Doubtless it was because God foreknew that approximately four thousand years would intervene before the blessine: of the world that He add ed His oath to His promise. In due time, at Mount Sinai, God entered into a Covenant with the children of Israel, by which He agreed to bless them and to fulfill in them the Abrahainic promise that they, as Abraham's seed, should bless all the nptions of the earth. The only condition connected with the promise was that they were trv oIiatv tiioir fifnpss to be the Divine IV/ OUV ?? V"V.Afc ? ^ channel. Full of joy and faith the Israelites obligated themselves thus. Ah! much they knew not. They did not realize their own weakness and imperfection through the fall and their inability to fulfill the Divine requirements, the spirit of the Law of their Covenant. They soon found that while the Law said, ''He that doeth these things shall live," they were not able to do those things; and therefore they were all dying like other men. Had Cod deceived them and entrapped them? Xo. God's proposition was sim pie enough. lie was mereiy leatmug them a great lesson?that sin as a disease had taken hold upon humanity and that, however willing they might be. all were weak and perverse and unable to fulfill their good intentions. As a consolation God assured Israel that He would send the Deliverer, One still greater than Moses, who had delivered them from the Egyptian bondage. This great Deliverer would deliver them from the greater bondage of sin and death, so that they would !>e able to obey the Divine Law and be used of Cod in blessing and in structing other nations, xnis ureaiei than-AIoses, they were assured, would inaugurate a New Law Covenant, based upon better sacrifices than the blood of bulls and goats, and He was known to them as Messiah, the Messenger of the New Covenant. Heirs of the Promise. We must never lose sight of the kernel of the Gospel Message. The uli timate blessings of the Messianic Kingdom, through the Seed of Abraham, will be to all the families of the earth, but previously, the Divine work is the calling of the Seed of Abraham which Is to do that work of blessing. The promise was not made to all the families of the earth, but to Abraham and his Seeil. Hence the heirs of the ; promise are not all the families of the earth, but the Seed of Abraham. To the saints of Galatla, who had been Gentiles, but hnd accepted Jesus and were trusting to become jointheirs wilv-God's dear Son in His Messianic Kingdom as members of His F.ride Elect, Saint Paul writes, '"If ye be Christ's, then are v- Abraham's Seed, and heirs according to the prom ise." (Galatians Hi, 20.) How strange that we should have lost sight of this great inheritance! With our Lord, as Abraham's Seed, we shall Inherit the earth; as it Is written, "I will give thee the heath'en for Thine inheritance. and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession." ! ^ 'cmCAGO ' E.^TL^uis I "SUPREME" and "SOUTHERN B BRANDS I n THE TAG GUAR A jj ?
