MALTREATING A CHILD.

MALI 4 CHILD.
II seems that one of the negro nurses
| who So largely frequent the Square was
maltreaIing young baby in her charge,
when a small white boy demonstrated
! with her for her conduct, and attempted
to resent it. William Yancey, negro
! man who was near by, at once took
The part of the woman and
began abusing the boy. Just then
DR.. Lewis Wheat passed by and
told the negro to let the boy alone,
or he would make him do so. At this
the negro turned the hoy loose, and,
cursing Dr. Wheat, defed him TO do any.
thing. As the negro cursed him the doc
tor struck Nancey on the head, and the
latter running of short distance picked
up large stone, which he threw at DR.
Wheat, striking him in the back and
bruising him badly, though fortunately
doing him no serious damage By this
time
CROWD OF WHITES AND BLACKS
had gathered around, and trouble seemed
iminent. After throwing the stone Yancey
ran off towards the St James Hotel
pursued by an infuriated crowd, who
seemed bent on hlving his life. The
negroes all became very much demoral.
ized and ran out of the square, but the
crowd only seemed 10 care particularly
about lancey. The latter finally reached
he hotel door, and Mr. Davis, the clerk
seeing him bloody and recognizing him,
admitted him. He davis then went 10
he door and succeeded in keeping back,
for few minutes, the infuriated crowd
who, had they caught Yancey, would
certainly have torn him to pieces. The
delay thus occssioned enabled the man to
escape into the hotel where he
WENT INTO HIDING,
and remained so until his pursuers had
dispersed. The police were notified, and
number appeared on the scene. The
crowd seeing them, and realizing that
their would-be victim had cluded item,
began 10 drop off, and in short time the
excitement had sufficiently died out to
make il safe for Iancey to reappear. He
then fixed himself up, and returned 10
his work in the dining-room.
ARRESTS MADE.
Policemen Griffin and Foster after.
wards went to the hotel and arrested
Yancey and two other walters. Tom Fin
ncssey and Christian Allen, who were with
iancey and took part with him in the
row. They were all taken to the Second
police station, where they are locked M
