Narrow Escape

E. G.. Neighbors, travelling man
and citizen of Mountain Grove,
last night narrowly escaped hav
ing his throat cut while on a
State street car. Mr.. Neigh
bors was attacked by two ne.
groes. One, who slaShed at his
neck with a razor, cut through
collar, shirt and ~ndershirt, but
just scratched the skin. The
collar probably saved Mr.. Neigh.
bors.
Mr.. Neighbors. in telling the
story of the attack to Sergeant
Charles Courtney, said that the
conductor on the car urged the
negroes to Jump him" He
said that the attack followed an
alteration between the cOnduc.
tor and himself.
Mr.. Neighbors, after the me-
groes attacked him, knocked
both down. The first n that
he hit crashed into n window,
which was shattered,
II got on the ear, and after
going several blocks asked the
conductor about an address,"
said Mr.. Neighbors. THE con
ductor called me a rube and
asked what business | had on q
street car if | didn't know
where | was going.
Ididn't say anything but he
kept on. Soon. he was joined in
the kidding by two negroes. |
told them 10 shut up. | heard
the conductors tell them to go
after me. AS | started to get
off one hit me in the back of the
neck. / turned and struck him.
He went down, The second at
tackled me and | hit him, also,
knocking him across the aisle
and into q window.
1.-THE conductor demanded
that | pay for the glass. | gave
him a dollar. Then | got off"
Half an hour later. Mr.. Neigh.
bors boarded the same car, in
going to town. Mr., Neighbors,
who travels for the John Deere,
Plow company, had kept a bust.
ness engagementon State street.
He said that when he Cotton the
car the conductor cursed him.
He declared that he said moth
ing, but when the car stopped
the conductor called officer
franklin and caused his arrest.
He was released on a $40 bond.
As he had to leave town early
this morning, efforts will be
made to have the case continued.
Mr.. Neighbors will swear.out
warrants for the two negroes.
