In another instance they dragged a young colored girl, a school teacher, from her bed and tried to out rage her, and when the girl resisted, vowed she would be killed rather than submit, her assailants beat her naked back with great switches until she was almost unconscious. Several other unoffending people, some white and some colored, were dragged by the unknown ruffians from their homes and put through all manner of tortures, at the same time being robbed of watches and money. This state of affairs didn't exist very long before the best people in the county rose in indignation and began to try to ferret out the guilty parties. On the night of Saturday, the 9th, the ruffians started out on a raid.

There were thirteen of them, all on horseback. About 2 o'clock Sunday morning a posse of citizens got onto their trail and followed in hot pursuit for six hours. A bout 8 o'clock one of them was caught. The rest got away. The prisoner proved to be Harvey Haynie, a young white man.

The fire was returned by the people at the jail The fusilade continued for half an hour. No one was badly hurt so far as heard. Thursday morning the news the attempt to release Haynie and of the subsequent encounter spread like wildfire over the county. Horsemen carried it from gate to gate.

Before 9 o'clock the town of Carthage was filled with people who had congregated from every direction, the determination being to run down the outlaws if it took. all summer. Several trails were struck and are being followed by the infuriated populace. At last accounts the outlaws had not been found. Haynie was brought to Nashville Thursday night for safe-keeping.
