TA& MEN ENTER HER ROOM
TUESDAY NIGHT, BEATING
HER OVER THE HEAD
AND CHOKING HER.
Mrs. Sarah Manders, who keeps
some headers in tlie cotton mill
section, was attacked Wednesday
morning about three o’clock, by
two men whose purpose was rob
bery.
She was known to have some
money, but those who attempted
this dastardly act were disap
pointed as she had made a loan on
Tuesday of the small amount she
had.
Her room was entered while she
was soundly sleeping and her
mouth was closed by the robbers
to prevent her giving any alarm.
She received a heavy blow on her
bead and her mouth and different
places on her face were badly
bruised.
Mrs. Manders, in the scuffle freed
her mouth from their clutches and
began to call for help when the
robbers became frightened and
made their escape.
The burglars bad dye on their
hands and left the signs of this
blue dye on the bed clothing.
Two negroes have been arrested

ments are in progress and the of
ficers in all probability wifi make
other arrests before this is read.
Every effort is being made to get
the guilty parties.
