When she was about TO leave for Seattle
her brother-in-law asked what he could

enough to hold IL down.

Albany MOurns the Loss of One of

Albany. Ca. May Albany is in mourn

with pneumonia.

age. He was "A confederate veteran, haV-

He served IN that capacity the remainder

married Miss Lula Bacon, sister OF Or.

A NEGRO DOCTOR ASSAULTED.
:. {. sneIson the Victim of the Ill
VIII of the COIOred Folks.

" III OF the OOlOEeu Folks.
Valdosta, Ga. May DIR. S c. Smell
son, a negro physician who came to this
city about six weeks ago from Savannah,
but who claims TO be a graduate of the
medical college in Washington, was lured
from his Office last night about 10 o'clock
and carried to the suburbs of the city
where was outrageously beaten. He says
that the beating was administered by ne
groes, ana there was not white man in
the crowd.
A negro walked into his office about
O'Clock and gave him note summoning
him quickly to attend a child which was
alleged to be very i'll. The negro told him
be would return in a moment with
buggy, and the doctor began getting his
medicine chest in shape for the trip. In
a rev minutes the negro who brought
the note returned, and the two began
quick trip toward a suburban negro quar-
ter, known as TomtOwn.
After going some distance beyond there,
ana TO the swamp along the Mile branch,
pistols began firing, and the doctor asked
what Il meant. Before an answer was
given MN several men mounted the buggy
and began folding a handkerchief over
his eyes. He was then dragged from the
buggy and given a sound logging. He
says that he was beaten with sticks and
rails, and the bruises over his body indi-
cate the same. He was left in an uncon-
scious condition, but rallied before mid
night ana began staggering his way back
toward the city. He reached here about
y o'clock, or a little afterwards, and re-
ported the matter to the night watch
men. His Office has been visited by crowds
to-day, and as he lay stretched out on a
cot he recited the story of his grief to all
who came. He has an idea who did the
whipping, but he refused to say who it
was.
1t is worthy Of note that not a negro
has expressed any sympathy for him
They say that he has been served right
ana they express the belief that the lead
ing negroes of the city were connected
with the beating. Snelson has associated
here with the lowest class of negroes,
they say, and has acted with great AFRO
gance toward those who were trying to
lift themselves up in the world. They say
that he has been very offensive to the
best class Of negroes by criticising their
dress and mannerisms and by making
harsh remarks about the women.
II Is believed here that some of the bet
and took the method described above for
doing SO.
