G. W. Chitwo0d Of Conway Springs,
was intoxicated Thursday afternoon
and amused crowd of people on the
street by dancing to the music of the
four negrOs who have been playing on
the streets for a day or two. Night
Marshal Johnson Turner came up and
told ChitwOOd to behave himself.
ChltwOod Quit dancing, and remained
quiet for minute or so. When the
negrOS ShOuldered their instruments
aud started away, ChitwOOd started
to follow. Turner grabbed him and
ChltwOOd, not realizing what Turner
wanted with him, pulled back, when
Turner struck him over the head
several times with the butt end Of a
loaded cane. Chitw@Ud showed fight
IN feeble way, and Turner kept
striking him until Charlie Shawver
came up and helped Turner take him
to the city Jail. A great many people
who saw the whole performance we're
indignaEt over the treatment Of Chit.
wood by Turner. As soon as Shaw
yer learned that ChitwOod's treat
ment was unprOvOked, he went to the
jail and turned him out. Turner saws
he struck ChitwUOd because he cursed
him. Several people deny that Chit
wood cursed, or offered any resistance
until struck over the head with a
cane.
