CLAIMS WHITE:
MEN WERE BAD
WATERMAN ABOARD A LIGHTER
MADE SENSATIONAL REPORT
UPON ARRIVAL HERE TO OWN
ERS OF COMPANY FOR WHICH
HE WORKED.

Robert Spencer, a negro Waterman
aboard lighter on which had been
loaded locomotive and tender at
Holly for transportation to Perdido,
told story of startling nature
when he arrived here yesterday on
the lighter. He was so earnest appar-
emily in his statements that they are
given. much credence, and it was be-
lieved that he had not colored the
case in the least,
Spencer was placed aboard the
lighter at Holly. The barge was tow
ed to deep water and anchored for
the night, he said. and shortly be-
fore midnight, he said, six white men,
one of whom he said he recognized,
came aboard and began helping them
selves generally to movable articles
When he protested he said. one of
them presented a gun to his face and
advised him TO be quiet. Not content
with that, Spencer said, one of them
shot several times in an apparent eff
fort to hit him. He ran and had the
locomotive placed between him and
the man with the gun. Asked the
reason for the alleged action of white
men, Spencer asserted that it is o
move TO have the negroes leave that
vicinity.
He reported the matter to the gem
eral offices of the company in this
city. and the matter will be looked
into. This is the first time, it was
stated. that anything of this nature
had occurred there.

LARGE DAMAGE
SUITS BROUGHT
AGAINST NEGRO
NEGRO LAWYER, WHO WAS AR
RESTED AT INSTANCE OF AN
OTHER NEGRO, BRINGS ACTION
FOR DAMAGES IN CIRCUIT
COURT.

Late yesterday afternoon in the Of
fee of the circuit clerk the second
OF two actions for personal damages
were filed by Geo. w. Parker, a color
ed lawyer. representing in the second
as in the first case, B. II. Hatton, also
colored lawyer. who spent. several
days in the county jail lately, charS-
ed with grand larceny, on an affidavit
made by +. l.. Mitchell, colored, who
is reputed to be worth several thouS-
and dollars. Mitchell was also made
defendant the day before in an action
for $4,000, brought by his lawyer for
Samuel Brown, colored. The Hatton
action is also for the sum of $4,000
1t was filed late yesterday.
The case had its origin some months
ago. Mitchell who had some ready
money, was alleged to have set up in
business .Hatton, giving him a groc-
cry stock with the understanding, Of
course, that Mitchell was the owner.
Mitchell, it was claimed, did not re-
ceive his rent or his pro rata from
the business, and he locked up the
place. When Mitchell arrived on the
scene. it was stated, he found the
store closed and he nailed up the
door, according to his own state

business, so when he arrived the fol-
lowing day he went into the place
and opened up the business. When
Mitchell heard of this he had war
rant issued for Hatton, and also for
Sam Brown. who, it is asserted, was
employed by Hatton.
The damage action came. however,
after the county solicitor looking in
RI the cases against H3ttOO and
Brown for grand larceny, found there
vas nothing in them and refused to
file an information. Hatton some
time ago made bond for his freedom.
Brown was only released couple OF
days ago when the solicitor refused
an information in the case. .......
Mitchell has place of business on
Tarragona street and is also licens-
ed to stand bonds for profit in Pen
sacola. He owns quite a number of
small houses in the city. and is reput-
ed to be the owner of number i'll
