McAuley Uses His Knife.
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. At last reports Robin;
son was doing well and his assailant
had not been arrested. :
