night over an attempt on the part Of
a white woman, Stella Samter by name,
who halls from Stroudsburg, to shoot
John Singleton, colored.
Singleton was arrested Tuesday night
for drunkenness and was released yes
terday morning after paying fine Of
81. He proceeded to get drunk again
and last evening went to the house of
Joe Simpson, colored. at 42l Raymond
court, where white and colored people
are mixed up indiscriminately.
The visitor was quarrelsome and en-
deavored to pick a fight with some OF
the inmates. They tried to get him out
of the house and a general disturbance
resulted. Miss Samter. while the ex-
citement ran high, secured revolver
and fired at Singleton, but fortunately
did not hit him.
Police officers were called who raided
the place, arresting the young woman
