Monday afternoon during the heavy
rain the culvert on the corner of Column
oio and Crawford streets got stopped
up. and the heavy fall OF water that
came down there came near caving in
the stores In the Seaboard Block A col
ored boy went out In the weather and
attempted TO take the grating off the
sewer hole. so that the water could run
treer. In doing so he got his hand
caught under the grating. and came
near cutting his finger off He could
not extricate himself and cried for help.
Several colored men We're standing un-
der the shed. and LETT the boys hand
stay fastened until Mr.. Edward Johnson
came out Mr.. Langhorne's store, and
appealed to them to help the boy, but
not man made any effort to do so. Mr..
Johnson, by strain, succeeded in get
ting the grating off the boys hand and
freed him. Such treatment as those
men were guilty of TO one of their own
color was inhuman, and should be de-
nOunCed.
