AN AGED LADY ASSAULTED
at CEDARTOWN by NEGRO
BRUTE.
On Friday night June 2d Mrs.
Lumpkin an aged and highly
respected lady of Oedart,own
was assaulted by Grant Bell, a
burly negro who resided near
by. Mrs Lumpkin is a widow
lady 73 year3 old and lives alone
just in the edge of Cedartown.
She is a woman of culture and
refinement, highly educated and
possesses a mind remarkably
bright and clear for one of her
age. There is no one living with
her to protect her except two
uw«rt.*groe. who**lotto
) ard one of whom had been rats
ed by the Lumpkins. On Fri¬
day night she was awakened by
some one rapping lightly on the
door. She called out to know
who was there, but received no
answer. After a little the knock
was repeated and some one call
ed out to her that they had
brought her mail. Mrs. Lump¬
kin arose and lighted a lamp
and set it on the hearth, She
then opened the door and was
met face to face with the negro.
He pot his hand over her mouth
and threw her to the floor.
When she recovered herself and
was satisfied that the brute was
gone she managed to get up
and open the door and drag her
self half walking and half crawl
ing to the negro IPhil Lump¬
kin’s house for protection. This
old negro and Ms wife took
in and ministered to her as
they could. They wanted
go at ouce for the sheriff and
q ave the culprit arrested, but
she Stoutly refused to allow
them to do so, saying she could
not stand the ordeal of a public
trial. She went back home and
was found by her niece, lying
Oll the bed groaning with pain
and almost unconscious. Help
was quickly summoned and a
physician sent for.
The negro Grant Bell was ar
rested and put in jail by Sheriff
W T Crocker. A mob quickly
formed and it was with difficul
ty that lynchiDg was pievented
Judge Janes assured the crowd
that he would call a special ses
sion of the Polk Superior court
to try the Culprit. This assur
ance togetber with the wise
council of other prominent men
the lycbing of the negro was for
the time averted. Accordingly
Judge Janes convened the Su
perior Court, on Monday morn
ing and the grand jury return
ed a bill of indictment against
the negro 1 Mrs. Lumpkin was
on hand to fell her story,
Wlien she went upon the stand
to testify she was not so positive as
to her identification of the negro
as at first, but there is a general
belief that he will be convicted.
Excitement lias subsided pond¬
ing the verdict of the jury.
A TWELVE YEAR OLD
GIRL ASSAULTED AT
LITHIA SPRINGS.
The little twelve year old
daughter of John Smith a res¬
pectable farmer living near Lilli
ia Springs was brutally assault¬
ed on last Friday morning by
Harve Minifee, colored.
Mr, Smith was working in his
field and his daughter, Lconie,
was sent by her mother to the
spring some distance from the
house for a bucketof water.
Returning through a clump
of woods when she was sprang
upon by the negro and thrown
to the ground. In his insane
effort to accomplish his purpose
he drew a knife and threatened
to cut his victims throat. His
purpose failed but the girl
was rendered insensible. It
was more than an hour before
her father knew it, and then in
stead of giving the alarm at once
kept the matter quiet, thinking
by this method to insure the
capture of the brute; As soon
as the people of Dallas heard of
it a posse was formed to hunt
for the negro, and while they
nave scoured the country, they
have not yet captured him. It
is believed he is hiding in a
dense swamp near Dallas.
There is a reward of five hun¬
dred dollars for his arrest, the
izens of Dallas offering two
dred and Gov. Candler three hu.i
dred dollars.
The men that are aftc' 1 him are
determined to never give up the
chase until they secure their prey.
