than his share of thrilling expert
ences in life. His war experience

gone through the race riot troubles
of Tulsa. He writes that the hotel
of Tulsa seemed to be the target OF
the negroes at first, and the band OF
fifty blacks who marched through the
street aimed their shots at the doors
and windows of this structure. Mr.
Krog helped to carry the first white
dead man into the hotel. He states
that though the negroes started the
riot. they were shamefully treated
and given no show by the whites

terrible and brutal in some phases
than that of the war, in his estima-
tion-Journal.
