NEGROES
In Columbia County Knew
Something Would
Happen.

An example of the superstition
which exists among the genuine
negro people of the South, which is
understood by all who have ever
had dealings with the colored people,
occurred recently III Wisconsin.
Negroes Building New Track.
The contract for the construction
of large portion of grading for
the second track of the Milwaukee
road, between Watertown and Port
age, is in the hands of Lorimer&
Gallagher, the well-known railway
contractors of Chicago. This firm
employees a large force of the gen
uine Georgia negro workmen to do
the grading, and the negroes, in
turn, take their famous Georgia
mules with them. These mules are
valued at $400 span, and the color
ed men handling them practically
live wild de mule"
Agitated by Braying
At the present time this gang of
negro graders is in camp near
Columbus, Wis. On Saturday night
last some of the coLored men were
greatly agitated. They reported to
W. E. Yeargin, the sub-contractor,
who is in charge of the work and
the gang, that "Da am sumpin'
a-goin' ter happin, sub, Mars Year
gin, cause dem mules is a-brayin'. J"
Mr.. Yeargin, not being so thorough
lY saturated with the negro super
stition, laughed tie matter off. But
the negro workmen insisted dat
sumpin' is gwine ter happen, sub. !"
So sure were they of impending
trouble that they deputized num-
Der or the workmen to "sit up wild
de mules" and watch them,
cause deY am a-braYin."
And the Negroes We're Right.
A general surveillance was kept
over the mule aggregation until
about 2 o'clock in the morning
when affairs become more normal
and the watchman retired. An hour
later the trouble came sure enough.
A short time before the fast mai
passed that point, ten of the mules
and one old horse broke out of the
corral and wandered about the
country. Just before dawn the fast
mail, drawn by engine No. 324, with
Engineer Teasdale at the throttle,
came bounding along at the rate of
forty miles an hour. A short dis
tance west of Columbus every mule,
and the old horse, were meandering
along the main track. It was barely
daylight. Engineer Teasdale realiz-
ed that he had "struck something.
His report, filed at the next station
says: "Think I hit SO mething near
Columbus; believe it was a horse.
Ten Mules and One Horse Killed.
Investigation revealed the fact
that ten mules and one horse had
not only been struck by the fast
mail, but every one of the animals
had been mangled to the extent
that remains of mules and horse
flesh were scattered along the right
of-way for three miles. And the
fast mail never -hesitated.
"Bress de Lawd; I knowed dat
summpin' was a-goin' to happen,
cause dem mules was a-brayin,
was the remark heard Sunday morn
ing in the negro camp at Columbus.

And she was wondrous wise;
She bought pair of stockings
OF long and ample size.
Then straightway did the maiden
Cut off the silken feet
And now with gloves long wristed.

not be called upon to wear the blue.
Their tickets read to Murray, a point
fifteen miles out of Tacoma, and only
a short distance from where the en-
campment will be held. They were not
advised as 80 which of the two camps
they would be assigned to, and will
not know until the arrive in Murray at
$40 this morning.
The companys cars were to have

but nothing that resulted in definite
action being taken. Owing to the fact
that both Chairman Coleman and Sec
rotary Hauser have positions that for
bid their being directly interested in
politics, neither will be a member of
the central committee next year, and
their designations will be rendered at
the convention.
Reports by the members of the COM

doubt that all will enter the campaign

the supreme court. which has con-
