Savannah, June 18.—Officers with bloodhounds are searching the western section of Chatham county tonight for a negro, who attacked a white woman in her home in the suburbs this afternoon.
The negro appeared at the rear of the house and asked for water. The woman showed him the pump in the yard and returned to her baby in the house.
In a few moments the negro appeared in the room and, while the woman fought and screamed, struck her on the head with a sad iron.
Neighbors who thought they had heard screams arrived in time to see the negro leave the home and disappear in the bushes.
The man hunt has been on since 4 o'clock and trail hounds were secured an hour later. At 11 o'clock tonight no report had been made at police headquarters by the officers.
