WHO CHASED NEGRO q
Trouble at New Bern Where
a Leg Was Broken.
Captain Sironach Exonerates Raleigh Company
and Says II Was Some Of the Detail
in the Baggage Car.

Thre was published yesterday morning
a telegram from New Bern telling of the
chasing of a negro boy by soldiers re-
turning from the encampment and that
the negro had fallen and broken his
leg.
The Oak City Guards, under command
OF Capt. Van Dalen Stronach, were on the
train and Capt. Stronach was interviewed
yesterday about the matter. In speaking
OF 1t he gave the following:
The military trains were collected at
New Bern after leaving Morehead City rs
certain companies were to diyerge there
while others went on to Goldsborcs The
men of each company were in different
coaches, a guard being at each door. The
only men not under guard were those
in charge of the baggage in the various
coaches who got out, and apparently with
only fun in view began chasing a negro
who, If he was boy in age was GER
tainly grown in size. l was out on the
ground and saw the occurrence. The
negro who was some forty or fifty feet
ahead of the men, started to run across
the track. His foot caught under the
railroad iron and he FELL breaking his leg
rear the foot. The men scampered back
to the baggage car"
Col. Bragaw asked me about the af-
fair and / told him that l did not know
any OF the men. / am absolutely certain
that no member of my company was en-
gagged IN the matter, as Mr.. w. n. II.
Smith was in the baggage car and was
not IN the crowd that chased the negro.
Those who know him know that he would
not engage in such an affair.
Col. Bragaw could not give the men en-
gagged. He had every attention gwen the
negro while he was in New Bern and ar
ranged to have him cared for after we.
left. He regretted the affair and handled
it as best he could"
Capt. Stronach says that the encamp-
ment was a delightful and the lnstruc-
tion given was of great value. The men
enjoyed themselves very much and all IN
all he thinks the encamment did good.
The soldiers were not paid off at More
head but check viii later be sent, made
out to each individual for the six days
service a. follows: Captain, $50; first
lieutenant, s24.96; second lieutenant,
$23.33; first sergeant, s4.40; second SER
geant. $40; corporal, SO; private, $3.50
The payments were not made at More
head owing 20 the great number OF checks
to be signed after rolls were made out,
but this will be attended to at once.
