CHARGED WITH DASTARDLY CRIME. ieorge Tillen Awaits Trial?Accused of Assault on Twelve Year Old Girl. A gentleman from Lake City :his morning gave the Times the ollowing information regarding :he threatened trouble there Saturday night. Hp savs that fieorce Tilton. a white man was arrested on a varrant charging fiim with an ittempted criminal assault upon i little white girl by the name )f Miles about four miles from Lake City. The attempt is alleged to have taken place about three weeks ago. but had been tept quiet until this man was arrested Saturday afternoon. It s said that a gentleman passing along the road heard cries in the Miles house and upon investigation found that a man was therein attempting to assault the little girl, only about 12 years old. As soon as this gentleman appeared the man who is said to have been Tilton, escaped and bad not been seen until Saturday when he went to Lake City on business. He was arrested on a warrant sworn out before Magistrate J H V Gaskins. There was some talk of lynching and Tilton was hurriedly sent to the jail in Kingstree on train No 89, which pass ed there shortly after the arrest. The affair is quite a serious one and will likely go hard with Tilton should the allegations prove trfe, Tilton is about 35 year9 old and married. The little girl in her effort to free herself was badly scratched and when rescued was in an almost hysterical condition. It is understood that her condition is improved though now bad. The foregoing account of a very sensastional affair is clipped from the Florence Times. What reliable information we have been able to gather about tVio matr^r is yprv meaner. It is a fact, however, that George Til ton is in jail here charged witt a crime so horrible that one car scarcely believe such things could occur in a civilized couu try.

Mr P II IS toll takes extreme ' pleasure in announcing to the anusement seeking1 public that on Thursday evening, March 19, the doors of the new opera r \ | house will be thrown open to' the public. It is but natural on an occasion of this kind, that of the opening of a new and dainty thea* tre, it was desired to secure the very highest class attraction that was procurable. Mr Stoll had his pick of countless attraction, some of them of a higher standard of excellence than is usually to be found in this section, but when he found that it would be possible to secure the -- - - widely known weggar rrince Opera Company lie at once clos- j ed a contract with this company, and feels gratified to think 1 he can afford an attraction that stands without an equal in the light opera world. This company has appeared in nearly every city of any importance in the United States and has been on the road for ten seasons so that a delightful and charming evening is assured, and it could not be otherwise with this excellent rnmnanv of noted singers, com edians, dancers and the chorus oi pretty girls who art attracting considerable attention in nearby cities. \ 'M m ' - \ ' ' 3 Cbat From Cades.
