oilers turned and fired into group of negro
workmen, who returned the fire and pur-
sued the whites, about fifty shots being ex
changed but no one hurt. The next day
Hicks quarreled with number of the ne
gro hands who were gathered at the store,
disarming five, and was in the act Of dis
arming a sixth when the negro, resisting,

with great ferocity. He ran for his life,
but before he had got fifty yards away was
literally riddled with bullets. More whites
