Row WITH 4 NEGRO. --PaSSing down Gary
street Yesterday morning our attention
was attracted 20 a large crowd Of negroes
assembled around MessrS. Martin Car
doZo's storchOuSc, corner of Twelfth ana
Cary streets. Upon approaching the spot
We learned that Mr.. Turner, q market
man, had arrested negro man named
Henry TompkinS on the charge OF stealing
horse. and was taking him to the police
station, when nc attempted TO strike Mr..
Turner with piece of timber which ne
picked up for the purpose, and Mr.. turner
cvadng the blow, the negro started t. run.
Mr.. Turner seized brick and threw it at
the negro, striking him on the back OF the
head. bringing him to the ground. He was
then seized by Mr.. Turner and some gen
tlrmcn who came to his aid, and after rio-
lent resistance was taken into Martin 4
Cardozo's to he secured until a policeman
could he sent for. By this time large
number Of negroes had gathered around
the building, some with bricks IN Their
hands, threatening to rescue the negro,
who. in his efforts 10 escape, had all the
clothing stripped from his body. Seeing
his nude condition, the negroes outside
thonrh, that their negro friend inside was
about to receive haggcllation, and they
made most riotouS demonstrations. fortu'
natcly, the timely arrival OF the ponce
prevented any serious outbreak, the crowd
was dispersed, and the guilty Negro
marched oil To the police station.
The negro was turned over yesterday
afternoon TO the county authorities, and as
soon as he reached the Jail he was rccog-
uizrd BY a man named Ondcrkirk, who
WAS under arrest upon Il charge Of stealing
y mule from the American Telegraph Com
many. Ondcrkirk says that he bought the
mule from the negro " IompklnS,' or
'.ThompSon," and can prove ms identity
TompkinS is now charged with stealing a
horse from Mr.. l.. Dance, OF lienrlco. Inc
horse was found on the canal in possession
of a negro boy named Brown, who states
that TompkinS gave him the horse to take
care of for him.
The extreme penalty of death, provided
for in the late act of the Legislature III re-
la,ion to horSc-stcaling, has not yet been
enforced, and il Tompkins is found guilty
of stealing 4 mule and horse, besides an
assault, he will be fit subject TO begin
with.
