Student Saved Many Lives

Lexington, Feb. Ito Milton
Summerville, Il years old, a med
ical student at the University of
Louisville, fell one OF the most
thrilling experiences incident to
the rioting Monday in which four
men were killed outright and an
other fatally wounded.
Summerville was the lad who
overturned a machine gun, put
ting it out OF commission Just as
it was about to fire into the thick
of the crowd. His action certainly
saved many lives. Summerville,
although guns flashed in his face
and bullets whizzed by his head,
escaped scathless, his only cas-
ualty" being bayonet wound"
through his trousers leg.
Summerville's home is at May
field. He said he was on his way
from school to the Phoenix Cafe
terra, where he is employed, when
he stopped in front of the court
house on Main street. He was
standing in front of the crowd. A
man with big. red mustasche, he
said, held the rope. He and some
other students were 'joshing' the
police. he said, when somebody
behind him shouted Lynch the
nigger!".
Fright away they stared to
push and the first thing | knew !
was pushed under the wire which
kept back the crowd" said Sum
merville. 81 could not stop my
self nor get out of the way. The
crowd was too big. | was on the
steps to the court house door be-

"a policeman tried to take the
rope away from the man with the
red mustasche. Suddenly sho
was fired from the right-hant
window on the second floor. 'Thel

guns. The soldiers and the de
