Barnwell, Jan. ."?A telephone mes J *<ige was received here last night about 11.30 o'clock to the effect that E. X. Hankinson, a merchant of Walker's station, on the Southern railway, a few miles above Blackville, had beej attacked by two nceroes while in hia ulace of business and severely beaten i.bout the head, and askod that the county bloodhounds be rushed to the scene at once. Sheriff .1. B. Morris, Supervisor G. J. Diamond and two deputies left in Capt. Morris' automobile, i 1 carrying the dogs. The alleged atf tempt at murder was made about * T o'clock last evening and owing to the A delay in getting word here, it was sevH eral hours before the authorities and V the dogs were on the ground. It was f a?so Jearned that shortly after the attack two negroes were seen running down the railroad track in the direction of Blackville, and as the roadbed is covered with coal cinders, it was impossible to find the trail. T wo strange negroes had been noticed hanging around the litre station yesterday, it is said, and early lasl night a fire was noticed in the woods # a s';ort distance away, with the two r- ? - z*. * T nr?lr o negroes uesiue iu auuui ? ^ nan went into Hankinson's' store tc make a purchase and when the storekeeper failed to answer him, he noticed blood on his head. A close examination disclosed the fact that he had been struck a terrific blow with some kblunt instrument and was in a dazed condition ,walking around in a circle and taking notice of nothing. A doctoi ?as called in and advised taking hirr to a Columbia hospital, as his skull was badly crushed. This was done ' this morning. At the place where the negroes had their camp fire was1 found * - * - -1- ~ 1 ~ n m a n 'c a Heavy oaK suck, iaigc a.^ ? umu .. vrist, on which were blood stains. The * tree from which the stick was cut was also found. Capt. Morris has sent telegrams ir every direction asking that a close x watch be kept for the two assailants 7 and the rural policemen are also doing their utmost to apprehend them It ig thought that robbery was the motive for the atiack on Mr. Hankin?on.
