with the exception of few drunken
rows. There was a general outbreak
on Negro Hill Monday of last week, by
the T. G. l. Co $ law abiding associa-
ton, in which one non-union negro
shot another negro arm all to pieces.
and amputation was necessary. All
occurred over crap shooting. On the
same day there arose a high wind and
played Yankee Doodle and only one
man got shot and another was shot at
. miles east of Whitwell A non union
man by the name of Alec Vanhooser
got drunk, secured a shot gun and fir
ed at D. H. Brown. One shot hit
Brown in the arm. He then turned
the gun on w. G. Shirley, ex-rostmas-
ter of Shirleyton, and chased him two
hundred yards and fired two shots at
him, but fortunately neither of the
shots took effect There were two state s
warrants issued against Vanhooser for
assault with a gun and he was arrested
by Deputy West and put under $500
| bond for his appearance before S. L.
| Havron, j. p. Just what the out
come will be we will only wait and
see. All parties engaged are non I'M
ion. Not union man got into sin
gle scrape here during the holidays.
This is pretty good record for the U.
NJ. W. of A. to win on.
Jolly" you said you and your non
union friends had the money and had
the whiskey too and were going to have
a good time Christmas. | will now
file your record and your good non-un-
ion times for law and order with shoot
ing craps, shooting negroes on Negro
Hill, where those former killings oc-
Cured, and shooting Brown and shoot
ing at Shirley. Another non-union
man is reported to-day to be shot on
Negro Hill. Pray tell me why don t
you toot your horns for the State
troops? Have you notified Gov. Cox
yet? No, | say from the fact that all
this shooting took place in the day
time or you would have cried and
shouted aloud, "Send us the State
troops. Law and order must be main
tanned at once, J." Why don you ack-
nowledge the truth and say, Citizen.
you are right when you said the dark
side was on the non union side " Ev-
idence is the thing hoped for Can you
point out such dark crimes on the I'M
ion side? | say you are absolutely
unable to show up your side and as you
have wilfully refused to write the dark
side of this case | will write it up for
you as we don't want anything with
held from the public. Hope, Mrs.
jolly, when you read this your side
won use the word, 'Bushwhacker"
any more until you complete your te,-
timony and hand it in for publication
so | can cross examine your witnes.
