fed us by insistin that he shood 90 on

to take and we took it, We snaked the
platform out from under him, we tore up
his mortar-bed, we broke his trowel and
other tools, and notified him ofFishelly
that any attempt at resoomin work wood

That day We found that the nigger
he'd in trooth quit plasterin, but he'd
found employment ez q striker in a black

There could be but one endin to sich a
