A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE
       A week ago last Friday, William Dill, aged about 20, raped the five year old daughter of Sam'l. Wilsher. The facts are about as follows: Sam Wilsher and family were at their home at the head of Greasy Creek about a mile from where "Uncle" Tom Nowlin lives. Will Dill, a brother of Mrs. Wilsher, was also present. Mr. Wilsher was not well and Mrs. Wilsher asked Dill to go down to the Spring after a bucket of water. He asked the little girl to go along which she did. The two were gone so long that Mr. Wilsher started to the spring to see what was the matter. He met the young man and little girl coming to the house, the little girl crying. He asked her what was the matter but she would not tell. When she got to the house she said she wanted to go to bed. Her father picked her up and discovered that she had been foully outraged by her brute of an uncle. He father drew a knife and would have ended Dill's career but the women folks interfered and Dill finally escaped and has not yet been found. The little girl said Dill stuffed her bonnet into her mouth to keep her from crying. She is said to be seriously injured. Dill is said to be an illegitimate son of old Dave Sutzer. The brute ought to be captured and punished to the full extent of the law.

There are four men in jail at present, Robert Hollis, Ambrose Atterbury, Horton Jones, and Frank Brumlow. They say they are kindly treated by the jailer but that the jail is almost unbearable.

George and William Hamblett, sons of W. H. Hamblett, Sr., one of Marion's oldest and best citizens, were indicted at the last sitting of the grand jury, charged with stealing cotton. They were put under a heavy bond. George who was indicted in two cases being put under a bond of $750 in each case, his father going on the bond. Both boys stayed around court all last week, but last Sunday night George skipped out, leaving his father to pay his bond. William did not leave and will stand trial this court.
