Treatment
NEGROS ATTACK
AT CHRISTIANA

Attacked by two men, with whom
he had demonstrated for their disre-
spect to the uniform OF the National
Guard, on Saturday night, Lieutenant
William Berl, Jr, OF Company f, Ma
uonal Guard Of Delaware, struck one
OF the men, flooring him and knock
ing him unconscious. In falling. the
man, who gave his name as Charles
Logan, struck his head on the side
walk, severely decorating his scalp and
was removed TO the Delaware Hospi-
tai for treatment.
The trouble occurred about Z
o'clock Saturday evening. Lieutenant
Berl was riding on a trolley car, when
the two men began TO use obscene
language He quietly asked them to
show more courtesy while there were
women on the car, when the men be-
came ugly and made some remarks
about the uniform. Lieutenant Berl
however, remained quiet
When he got off the car at Thir-
teenth and Market streets the two
men also left the car, and one of them
grabbed the officer by the two arms
and tried to pin him down, while the
other struck al him. Lieutenant Der
broke away and stepped back, agar
restraining himself from striking the
men. One OF the men uttered an cpl
tibet that Lieutenant Berl resented
and at the same time the man givins
his name as Logan rushed at him. HI
was met by hard blow 10 the jaw

a dozen c0lored men at Christiana OF
Saturday night
The militiamen are doing guard duty
at that place. According TO reports
received by Major J. Warner Reed
the men were in an ice cream saloor
when the Negroes entered, and i'm
mediately started making remark
about the guardsmen. These coloreG
men, IL is asserted often go int,
Christiana and cause considerable
trouble and we're on one OF thei
escapades on Saturday night.
One Of the colored men ran int,
one OF the militiamen and when thu
latter resented It, he made some re
marks about the uniform. The militia
men. unable to stand the taunts. hit a
the Negro after the latter had made
swing at him. and then the tw,
guardsmen were set upon by the dozel
or more colored men.
The mllitiamen were badly beatei
but were able to so on duty today.
The mllitiamen are stirred up owe
the taunts they have to bear fror
some civilians. Tin soldier" is
