200 heavily armed man, who command
cd them TO keep quiet. With a few
exceptions the negroes were docile.
To those VINO proved frec.ious cracked
heads were administered. As the train

began their pistol firing at houses. AT
the first shot yolley vas poured into
the train by the deputies and militia.
