and intermediate points. Vehicles OF every
character and description brought colored
people from miles around. 1t is estimated
that nearly 1000 were present. Things pass
ed off pleasantly until about clock in the
afternoon, when crowd assembled around
sick horse and some drunken men began to
beat it, against the protests of the owner. He
resisted, and in the melee which ensued PTS
tolls were drawn and fired at random. Clubs,
knives and razors were freely used and gen.
eral fight took place. Many of the shots fired
must have been in the air. A number of peo-
pie received flesh wounds, and one man was
shot in the hand. William Ashley, from
Millington, was shot in the stomach, and his
injuries are pronounced fatal. Nelson Reed
was dubbed and severely beaten. A special
train was sent to Chestertown for police assis-
lance. Sheriff Parsons aud Deputy Sheriff
Lugan, with posse, went to the woods and
arrested numherof the rioters. The follow
ing were brought to ChestertOwn and lodged
in Jail: John Fields, Vim. Ii. Baker, Norris
Brown, VIM. Bird, Albert LETTERS, John Potts
and Marshall Jones. Bad whisky is thought
to be at the bottom of the affair. Sheriff
Dugan caught Richard Robinson with dem
John for pillow asleep under bed. Rob
inson is in Jail, charged with violating the
local option law.
Alexander Hazelton, colored, was shot and
fatally wounded at Blue Ridge Summit, an
excursion resort on the Western Maryland r.
R., three miles from Penmar, by David Will
liams, coiored, Tuesday morning. The
Northwestern Immaculate Assembly, q social
of colored men of northwest
Baltimore, gave an excursion to the Summit
on that day. About $50 colored persons,
among them the two principals in the shooting
affair, went up on the train which left Baltl-
more at Z. Is a. M They reached the Sum-
NIT shortly after 10 O'Clock, and the shooting
occurred fifty minutes later. Hazeltop aud
young man named William F. Thomas, went
down on bill side TO take drink. They
heard the report Of pistol in the woods and
shouted out to the party who did the shooting
to be careful or he might hurt some one.
Williams then came out of the bushes and
laughingly exclaimed: 81 am the owner of
The pop; here it is" As he spoke he slapped
The weapon down on the palm Of his left hand
and it went off, the hall siriking Hazleton,
who stood only three feet away, in the fore
head immediately over the right eyebrow.
The wounded man staggered forward about
hree PAGES and fell, with hlaad and brain
natter opzing from the hole produced by the
bullet, Williams seemed dazed for a mo.
Nent, and then ran among the excursionists,
shouting that he had shot q man by accident |
md wanted to give himself up. He threw
MS pistol away as he was running, and finally |
ook refuge In a house in the neighhorhood, |
tating that he would await the arrival of the |
hesiff. Thomas was also almost crazy with |
ear, and could not for some time give any |
Information as to the shooting. After short |
ime Williams was arrested and taken to |
where he was committed to |
all.
