A gang of negroes boarded the train
at Pine Bluff to go north to work
on the Cotton Belt, and when the train
had left Pine Bluff the negroes be-
gan to try to run the train. They
pulled the bell cord and otherwise in
terfered with the conductor in his du-
ties After much trouble, the bully
of the Crowd, Rich Ingram, was put
off at Altheimer, and when the train
started to pull out I9gram attempted
to again board it. He was put off
again and he caught another coach
and mounted the. train. The conduc-
