Always in trouble seems to be the fate of John McAuley, a young white man who is well known to the mill people of this place. This young fellow has figured in the police courts of a ' majority of the nearby towns, and it was only a few weeks ago that he was sentenced by the authorities here to 10 days on the gang for drunkeness, but by the aid of friends secured his after having served 24 hours of j his time. But McAuley is into a worse scrape than ever, if published I reports are true. This last | scrape took place Thursday eve-: ning on the Chester "swing" on ! which McAuley was returning' to Chester after having spent the day in Charlotte. On the ] train was a young man named Robertson, whose home was also Chester, and with whom McAuley was acpuainted. There was a difference of 17 cents between the men, and over this insignificant amount the two became involved in a difficulty. Hot 1 words were passed and McAuley i i taking Robertson unawares, : pulled his knife and inflicted a ; dangerous gash on the side of I Robertson's neck. The train ! was nearing Rock Hill at this ; time, and as the wounded man was bleeding profusely, he was taken off there and given medi-: cal attention. It was found the gash extended from the right ear to the chih and had missed the jugular vein by only half an | inch. It was not known whether ! McAuley left the train at Rock j Hill or continued his trip to | Chester.
