' Mr. Howard Northeutt, son cf Mr.
‘and Mrs. E. H. Northeutt, of this place,
'wae assaulted by a negro named Dave
‘Williams, last Saturday night about
11:30 o’clock at the depot, and his
'tbroat was gashed by the thrust of a
lkeen razor in tha hands of the negro.
~ Mr. Howard Northeutt is clerk in the
ticket office at the W. & A R. R. depot
in this city. His work was in the day
time, but he was staying Saturday
night for Mr. Robert Wellons, who was
off duty, purely a friendly sct on Lin
part to relieve a friend.
The colored waiting room and the
ticket office connect, and you pass
through the former to the latter. About
11:30, Mr, Northeutt informed those in
the waiting room who were loitering
there that they must get out, as he
wished to close up. All left except a
colored woman
Dave Wiliams came in and engaged
the colored woman in angry and quar
relsome convarsation., Mr. Northeutt
stepped to the door and told them to
leave, as 1t was time to close up, and to
cease their quarreling. Williams then
turned his anger upon Mr. Northeutt,
and wanted to know what he had to do
with i:; that he bad a right to stay
there. Mr. Northeutt insisted that they
leave, and went back into the office.
After a few minutes he stepped into
the waiting room and found that the
negro man had passed out of the hack
door, and he stuck his head out to see if
he had gone for good, and as he did so,
the negro, standing by the door, slashed
Mr. Northcutt’s throat with a razor,
cutting it from ear to ear. He hollered
to Mr, Milamin the office that he was
cut. He clasped his hande around his
W d S gng
throat and ran to Dr. Nolan’s residence
on Church street. who brought him to
his office, and found that the razor had
made a fearful gash on the throat, cut
ting the windpipe, and stopping just as
it reached the jugular vein: a hair’s
breadth more would have resulted in
death.
It required one hour and a half to
elose the frightful wound. some forty
stitches being made. Mr. Norcheutt
gtood it heroieally, without ehloroform.
We ara glad 1o state that he is getting
along nicely and will recover.
The negro Williams escaped.
It was a dastardly, murderous nesault,
wholly unprovoked and unjuetifiable,
and it is hoped that the negro will be
captured and due punichment meted
out to him for his eriminal act.
We call attention to the splendid lot
of bargking offered by that hustling
firm, The Warren. Abbott Real Estate
Company appearing in this issue. The
property is some of the best to be had
and it will pay you to see them, Read
the advertisement. }
