There is a little darkey at North Taze-
well, who lives in that part of the town
called Blacksburg, that is too smart for the
detectives. Some of the small colortd
boys of that vicinity have been in the
habit of getting on coal cars when they
draw up at the station; and when they
are shifting at a point above the bridge
east of the station the boys throw off as
much coal as they can, afterwards gather
ing up the spoils. The Railway Company
decided to try to catch the wrong doors,
and few days ago sent several detectives
to watch. When the local from the west
pulled in these detectives got on the train
to watch. The boys, however, bad been
warned that something was in the wind;
and only one little fellow had the courage
to mount the train. This he did success
fully, and succeeded in throwing off the
usual amount of coal at the usual point.
The detectives failed to observe this work,
and it escaped the notice of brakeman
who was on the car just in front of the pill.
ferer. After the train left the station the
boy went to gather up his coal, but when
he got to the scene he found twelve other
little negroes contending for the possession
of the coal. A free fight ensued, in which
the thirteenNttle darkles participated. We
are not informed as to the result of the
fight, but perhaps the detectives can tell.
