c. r. Wilson, Of Memphis, division
manager of the Yours Truly Com
pany, Of Chicago, who was riding
IN the smoking car of the train, paid
a glowing tribute to the bravery of
the negro train porter Bailey Bar
mum, Saturday morning.
If it had not been for that negro. -
said Mr.. Wilson, II firmly believe the
bandit would have gone through the
train and robbed everybody. The ne
gro, with the aid of another man
whom | do not know, chased the ban
dit off the train and fired at him sew
eral times.
"The negro was in ahe lead, the
other man leaving the smoking car
and following, with a gun in his
hand, when the negro rushed through
the smoker with gun he had Dor
rowed from a passenger.
The first the passengers in the
other parts of the train knew Of the
holdup was when those riding in the
Pullman came rushing into the smok-
ing car and on to the front part OF
the train.
Many Hid Under Seats.
Many of the passengers were so
frightened they ran up into the negro
part of the train, and I heard many
Of them hid under the seats.
ana after bunch Of them came
rushing into our car, the negro Pull
man porter, whose name I heard was
Jones, came running in. and in his
hurry to get out he ran into fine
front end of the car. Some of the
passengers said he then went oui
and climbed on to the blind baggag &c
and rode there the rest of the way.
everybody in the smoking car was
excited. and no one knew what to do
W hen the negro porter came tearing
through with a gun in his hand. a
man who was sitting in the front end
of the car got up and followed him
drawing a gun from his pocket. He
marched down the aisle of the car
holding the gun in front of him and
mutterins:
I'll get him.
Woman Only Calm Person.
When this man came along with
his gun, everybody thought he was
another bandit, and there was some
more excitement. He went on into
the Pullman after the porter and
half a dozen Of us got up and fol-
lowed. Two of the men in our crowd
had revoivers, but couldn't get close
enough at the bandit to shoot at
him.
when we got into the Pullman
we saw the negro porter standing in
the back end of the car blazing away
at the bandit, and I guess the man
who followed him must have fired
also, because he came hack later and
showed everybody in the smoker an
empty cartridge, and said he had shot
at the bandit.
Il guess everybody on the train was
scared, for we all thought the bandit
