While pass- ing through the wilderness Mr. Bat- terson became BEWILDERED IN THE DARKNESS andlost his way. <Atter many at- tempts to discover the road he fiaal- ly let the horse take its own course through the woods, following it with alighted lantern. After floundering umlessly about tor sometime they came suddenly upon a railroad track, Mr. Batterson did not know what wad it was, felt that there must be a sation on the road crossing some- where in the vicimty. He at first mtended to walk along the track un- tlhe came to either one or the other, twthis wife was afraid to remain alone in the woods, so they conclud- eto take the chances of meeting a tain and drive along the track in search of a way out ofthe wilderness. Mr. Batterson led the horse on the track and walked on ahead with the light. Mrs. Batterson and the chil- dren followed in the carriage. A mile more was traversed WITHOUT FINDING ANY CROSSING or indication of a station, and then, to insure the safety ot his wite and children, Mr. Batterson took them from the carriage, and they tollowed iton foot by the side ot the track, so at the sound of an approaching tran they could climb the bank. Af- | ter going a quarter of a mile turther they came to a bridge. They could not retrace their steps, and they re- solved to share the risk of keeping on ther way and attempting the crossing. Found a narrow plank foot-crossing at one side, and Mr. Batterson succeeded in leading the horse uponit. The wheels on one side ranon this walk, but on the oth- etthey bumped aleng the ties. The | bridge was swept by a high ad it was with difficulty Mrs, Batterson could: make way fllong with her children. To add to the terror of | the situation a gust of wind extin- guished the lantern. The darkness Was intense, and they groped their | way along slowly, tortured by the tear that they would be crushed or HURLED FROM THE BRIDGE wind that | her } two | | bya train betore they could reach a} place of safety.

Galveston, Sept 17.—A_ special to the News from Longview says a reign of terror prevails in every por tion of the country, except perhaps Vilgore, from which place there 1s noreport. The excitement is due to a raid on whites, supposed to be con- templated by negroes. The white tarmers have their wives and children in gin houses, and are holding guard over them. In some communities little sleep has been had since Friday night, and haggard faces with leoks of fear or determination are seen everywhere, betokening extrem- ities produced by the blood curd- ling reports brought in by each new Hundreds ot country stetn men ' turning to their homes carried ail the available.
