THREErDAY RIOT
FOLLOWS CRASH
OF TWO AUTOS
College Town In Virginia
Torn By Race
Strife

HARRISONBURG, Va. Oct. q
News of three nights of rioting between
white and negro population OF Bridge
water, college town, six miles. south
of here, reached Harrisonburg today
with resumption of communication, IN
terrupted by. the overflow OF rivers In
this section. sisaG
One white boy has been shot In the
leg, a half dozen or more negroes have
been severely beaten and many others
have been placed under arrest Mayor
Arey declared today, however, that II
the negro population obeys his iedict to
remain off the streets for several days
he thought "the whole affair will blow
over"
The trouble grew out of remarks al
legged to have been made late Sunday
night by negro occupants of an auto
mobile which collided with another ear
ON the main street of Bridgewaten The
white occupants of the other car in the
collision resented the remarks and soon
there was a free.for-all fight.
The disturbance was renewed on
Monday night, about forty men and
boys participating and in the Tuesday
night round more than one hundred
persons are said to have been involved.
Charles Kibler, 16-year-old white boy,
was shot in the leg during this melee
whereupon the crowds, armed with
clubs, set upon every negro found on
the streets. The same scene occurred
again last night, after arraignment OF
Faith Whitelow, negro, charged with
firing the shot that struck KILLER, and
other negroes charged with carrying
concealed weapons. The latter were
released when no arms were found on
their persons. More than n score of
special police were on duty today and
every automobile entering Bridgewater
is being searched. nj
