DIFFERENT LIGHT
ON FREEMAN CASE

William Freeman, who says he
was hit with a section OF board
fence by another negro Monday
night, asked for continuance until
Thursday morning and this was
granted by Mayor Shields. The
tale that is going the rounds differs
vastly from what Freeman tells con-
ccrning the affair.
1t is said that he entered the
saloon where the trouble occurred
and persisted in butting in private
conversation between two men.
When they told him 10 keep his nose
out of their business he became
abusive and wanted to know who
had paid them for trying TO hunt
trouble with him.
The two men turned and left the
saloon and Freeman is alleged 10
have kept up his abusive talk until
one of the men could stand it no
longer and he picked up a stick aud
wallopcd Freeman. The latter's
tale Is that lie had not a word with
the men but the evidence ut the
trial Thursday morning will surely
show the other side.
