ANOTHER GOAT OF wH1TEwAsH

The following from the LYnchburg
News of September 2nd will explain it
self:
Several days ago officials of the
Norfolk and Western railroad discov-
cred in this city the identity and
whereabouts of the peretrator of a
very serious practical joke The par
ticular offense consisted in throwing a
rock at freight train and splitting
open the scalp of colored brakeman.
The offender was a young white boy
who was visiting relatives in Bedford
near Forest Depot. On the occasion re-
ferred to he was standing on an over
head bridge, when long freight train
at good rate of speed dashed into the
cut, the boy snatched up rock and
threw it at the train. striking a color
ed brakeman full on the head.
There was an investigation, and in s
few day the boy was found out He
was turned over to his parents and
doubtless received lesson which will
make him think before he throw recks
at another train"
This was equivalent to not furnishing
this white boy atall. Had the brake
man been white and his assailant col
ored, he would have been sent on to
the grand jury and the penitentiary
