A deputy mnrMinl named Smith
went into tho Negro compnrtment of
tho car that thu law of Texno provides.
An old colored man joccuoly objoclcd
to such au infriugnuiout on tho no
gro'a rights by white men, when a col
orod man from Guthrie, whoso unuio
is uiikiiown, took tbo matter up iu
earnest, aud with an oath declnied
that tho white man bad uo business
thcro.
Nothing ecri-jns took placO in the

nnd tho quarrel beiug icsumed both
mon jorkod out their rovohcio nnd ho
gau bbooting nt each other. Empty
ing thoir revolvers, thoy both fell dead
in tboir tr.vj'n. It saam i that no ouo

Tbo nction of tho mob in lycbing the
