payment the Negro soldier tried to strike him,
and four other Negroes showed a disposition to
back him UP against the conductor. The white

Negroes We're soon cowed.
There were no blows struck but the Negro
soldiers jumped off the car. On alighting they
threw stones into the car, breaking three win
