6 THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SATURDAY, JPLl 11, PAID THE PENALTY. A NEGRO WHO COMMITTED A DES- ,<j PERATE CRIME fn f-V Httti the Fate That he Deserved—H* Wee Blddled With BnlleU end Left U the Wood*—The Brntel Affelr Detailed 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. •Li Ann a Line or Two About Those Who Live Here. Prof. R. V. Forrester was over from Richland yesterday. Mr. Henry J.
