THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2,NUMBER 246. YOUNG WHITE GIRL ASSAM BY NEGRO If He is Caught a Lynch ing Wi!l Fob low. OCCUR!D AT DARIEN JUNCI. Negro Was Captured at Everett City Yesterday Morning, But Es caped.—Posses are Now Scoitfing Woods. Minnie Johnson, a young white girl residing near Darien Junction, on the Darien & Western railroad, was beaten into insensibility and then assaulted by a negro Thursday morning, new of which reached this city yesterday. The rash deed has caused consid erable excitement in the vicinity in which it occurred, and a lynching may yet occur as a result. _ The .story was toM to a News re porter yesterday by J. D. Rooney, agent ot' the Southern and Seaboard at Everett City. It seems that the afct was committ ted near the home of the girl at the above stated place. As soon as the negro accomplished his purpose, he made for the woods. The different agents along the line of the Seaboard were notified of the affair. Agent Rooney, who has as sisted in the arrest of many criminals, at Everett, kept a sharp watch for the negro, and it is his impression tjhat he once had the rascal, but he escaped. Yesterday mining early a strange negro was seen lounging around Ev erett. Mr. Rooney at once took charge of the negro, but he succeeded in es caping later in the day. He was fol lowed by several around Everett, and. several shots were tired at the fleeing negro, but none took effect, and he succeeded in getting in the swamps. After Agent Rooney had received a description of the negro charged with the crime, lie was quite sure that the man he had captured at Everett was the one wanted., as he answerdd the description in every particular. Severed posses were soon organized at Darien Junction and other places on the load and last night the woods Were being scoured for the negro, It was learned that he vitas stnwounidod near Mt. Pleasant. The mob, so it was stated, were determined to lynch the negro if they succeeded in captur ing him, and he may have already paid for the rash act. Several telephonic communications ■were received in the city. yesterday, asking for/ the county hounds, but as they are over near Fancy Bluff it was impossible to get them to Everett, it is undersood, however, that 'hounds will be secured at Jesup this morning and will be placed on the trail of the negro if he was not captured lasi night. The negro gave his name as Louis Olsen. Tie weighs about ltili pounds, 6 feet 10 inches tali; is of dark gingei cake color; small mustache, very thick lips; wore a doublo-bieasteu blue shirt, resembling a jumper, brown striped pants, shoes badly worn, a brown cap. It is understood that his victim was in a critical condition yesterday ami was not expected to recover. TheT negro, whose correct name is thought to be Ed Claus, lias been em ployed by the raiiorad and was re cently working, near Crescent. Ihe affair ffas caused considerable excitement near Darien Junction, aau if the negro is captured he will hard ly be tried by the courts. A Slick Swindler.

Francisco, a!., July 10 Wit,h both men in active training, interest in the heavy weight championship bat tle between Corbett and Jeffries, to take place in the arena of the Yosemit e Athletic Club four weeks hence, is rapidly increasing. Jeffries has now had about two weeks of active train ing, and appears to be rounding into splendid condition. He has begun to take off weight, ana appears contident of bis ability to reach 215 pounds with' out much difficulty. At Harbin Springs, where the champion is in training, lie boxes everyday with his brother and Kennedy, and also in dulges in considerable road work in company with Hob Fitzsimmons. Corbett’s training camp is likewise a scene of activity these days—in fact, the activity there is more strenuous than with Jeffries and his 1 raiuersyas Corbett believes in more active work than does ihe cluuupian. Since tie commenced training more than a month ago, Corbett lias kepi at it,con stantly, and it, is with difficulty that his trainers persuade him to ease up for any length of time. The former champion says lie is much stronger and weighs considerably more than when lie louglit Jeffries a few years ago at Coney Island. He expects to enter the ring in the -approaching contest weighing in the vicinity of 187 pounds. The Wastes ef the Body.

CURIOSITY The Motive That Leads to Knowledge. They say that curiosity once killed it cat. liul if it were not forciiriiwit.v. lit tle progress would be made. A Texan tells the following good story about bis curiosity and vvltut Iu- learned about food: "One day down at the store I noticed a yellow package with acu rious name 'Grape-Nuts.' The name fascinated me and aroused my curios ity. I didn’t like to display my igno rance hv asking, so bought a package and took it home where 1 read all aboul it. When wife and I tried it we thought it delightful, and com menced using it morning and evening with cream. ‘Before this 1 had suffered from lack of assimilation of food, and my stom ach was so weak that what 1 ate for breakfast seemed to lie there along time before being digestwi, I was usually in distress and hud no uppet ite for dinner. All this lias changed since m.v diet lias been largely on Grape- Nuts. I have gained steadily in strength, health and weight: sleep soundly at nighl, and get up refreshed in the morning. Wife says i look like anew man, and she herself lias been greatly benefited by Ihe food. “After my breakfast of Grape-Nuts. I don’t need anything in the middle ol t lie day as a rule, but 1 always keep a little of the food handy, and if 1 have any sense of exhaustion 1 just take a few mouthfuls of it. It gives*me im mediate relief and does not destroy my appetite for dinner, but seems to sharpen it. It surprises me that we. never seem to tire of Urape-Ngts. al though we have now been using for several years."
