la roll.
AMERICUS' VISITORS.
Another negro has been hustled off to
kingdom come by a determined band of
white men who value the honor of la
dles and little girls above the life of a
black wretch.
The scene of this affair Is laid at
Milan and the country immediately
around there, and the affair is ono re
volting in every detail.
At, or near Milan, there lives a widow
lady by the name of Lancaster, wbo
lives by herself—she and her children
without any man on the place to protect
them. All went well with them, how
ever, and but little time did they de
vote to thinking on their lack of protec
tion.
Thursday night they needed help.
At the usual hour the family retired.
Among the number was a daughter of
Mrs. Lancaster, a young lady who is
standing on the verge of womanhood.
She is fair to behold and is highly fa
vored by those who know her best.
Many a man who knows her would bo
glad to claim her as his wife. Modest
and pretty as a pink sho was the queen
of a large circle of admirers, the light
and life of her widowed mother’s house
hold.
On the night namod above a black
brute broke into the room which Miss
Lancaster occupied, making his way in
through a window. Stealthily Lo stole
to the bed where the young lady lay
sleeping. Laying a devilish hand, backod
up by all the brute force of his nature
on her he dragged her out of the bed to
the floor and attempted to ruin her.
Ho cautioned his victim that as she
valued her life sho must keep quiet.
Overcome by fright, she uttered not a
word. It was no use. A terrible scuf
fle ensued between the black , devil and
his victim, which woke the other in-
mates of the house.
Mrs. Lancaster entered the room to
see tho brute struggling for the ruin of
her daughter. The sight thrilled hor
every nerve and gave increased strength
to every muscle. By a heroic effort she
frightened the negro away.
The alarm was sounded and in a short
time a crowd of determined men, armed
with guns, pistols and rifles were scour
ing the country for the human beast
that was making a rapid retreat .from
the scene of bis devil’s deed.
The search lasted for several hours,
When it was ascertained by the pursuers
that they were on the track of the man
they were pursuing the sun had just
ushered in a new day. A few miles
further they went, through woods and
over field, and they caught the negro
thoy were after. Mrs. Lancaster had
recognised him and told the party that
went out who he was. Some of the men
knew him. They were sure of their
man, for when questioned tho negro
owned bis deed and begged piteously for
meroy. The maddened men showed him.
that mercy which be had shown his vic
tim.
* He was caught near Helena, and there
his dead body was left for the bustards
and wild beasts to prey on.
The negro was fairly riddled with bul
lets from guns, pistols and rifles. His
body looked like a pepper box so com
pletely was It rifled with leaden missiles
forced on by a heavy charge of powder.
He had more than fifty wounds on him,
any one of which would have -caused
death. Thus vengeance was complete
and the men left the negro dead where
he was caught.
Miss Lancaster Is completely prostra
ted and her condition Is indeed preca
rious.
