His Insulting Behavior TO n Young
Lady-River View Property
The West End.

Gus Boiling, colored, was severely
cut on the head at the Union depot
yesterday afternoon.
The particulars of the affair, so far
as could be ascertained, are as fol
lows: Shenandoah Valley passenger
train No. was standing on the main
track, just before leaving time, when
Boiling entered the tirst-class car and
took seat on one Of the benches oc-
cupied by Miss Alice Berry. Some
gentlemen standing near ordered the
darkey to get up and leave the car,
which he, in the most insolent man
ner, refused to do, observing tnat he
had first-class ticket and intended to
ride in the first-class coach. He hardly
had time to say the aboye--55eeff si's- he he
was struck on the head by a glass bot
tie and -ffe51rrc5ioly elected from the car
The reporter was unable to learn
the names of the parties who struck
Boiling, as the train left soon after
the affair happened.
