One Of the grossest outrages ever perpetra-
ted in the city occurred Yesterday at the ON
nibus stand, corner Of Clark and Randolph
streets. The perpetrator Of the outrage was |
driver in the employ Of N. 0. Walker s. Co,
named Richard Kelly; the victim, s eolored
nan named ". E. Walker.
The latter was on bis way to the southern
part Of the city aud took seat In the farther
corner Of the bus which Was then empty, as |.
he had been accustomed to do for years.
Shortly after, woman got in and sat at the
Opposite end OF the coach. At the hour Of
stating the driver came out from saloon
near By and observing Walker, stepped to the
window and rudely exc'aame d, "Come ont
OF here, you Cd ID n1gger." Walker
asked the reason, to which Kelly replied, !
"There can't any nigger ride in my bus.'' |
"Wby'' said Walker II hare ridden in these |
buses for years aud always paid my fare. I |
was never ordered out Of one before.' same /
further conversation ensued aud Rually Walker |
refused to come out. at this, in boiling |
rage, the driver entered the bus seized Walker !
By the collar and roughly dragged him out
and after getting him to the bottom Of the
steps dealt him savage blow in the face.
Walker had hitherto made little or no resist-
ance, but upon receiving the blow seized the
driver, threw him down, and with remarkable
forbearancc, did not return the blow, but con-
tented himself With holding down bis assai-
ant, when he might have administered a sum-
mary punishm ment for the brutal treatment.
An immense crowd rapidly gathered, and
the parties we're separated. At this juucture,
Sheriff Hesing came up, and Kelley drove of.
The Sheriff inquired the cause Of the disturb
anec. After hearing the facts, he placed Walker
in the 'bus, and got in himself, accompanied by
officer Chilson, AID Solomon and member
| Of the Hecker regiment, to protect the col
ared man. The bus started, followed BY an
! excited crowd, but no attempt was made to
interfere. Kelley, In the meantime, had ar
rived at the southern terminus Of the line, and
expecting the arrival OF Walker, had gathered
crowd Of men from the adjacent cattle yards,
| when the Sheriff and hls party arrived 0n-
willing to create any disturbance, the Sheriff
advised Walker to 60 down Clark street dis
