STORY OF ASSAULT.
The local correspondent of the Com
mercial Appeal and Globe Democrat
was notified by wire Wednesday night
that the little five year old daughter
of J. J. Bryan, the banker of Black
Rock had been assaulted by a negro
brute.
From Black Rock parties, the Inde
pendent has verified this report and
it seems that a mob went to Powhatan
Tuesday night to lynch the negro,
though it does not appear certain that
he has been captured. No lynching
occurred however and as a telegram
from the Independent to Black Rock
has not been answered up to press
hour, none of the particulars can be
given.
