The trouble first started at Slocum

white man, named Afford, over a
small account. When the negro re.
fused to pay the alleged debt, an
argument arose, in which the black
is said to have cursed Afford and a
fight started. Others Immediately
joined in the fracas. Guns and knives
were used, and the fight continued all
night. z. E. Rains is the only white
man known to have been killed at
Slocum, but ten negroes were slain
and their bodies mutilated.
At E1khart white man was kined

Slocum had reached Elkhart and
when the negroes heard the white
man had refused to work with them
they rushed on him and dubbed him
