"That don't make no difference; you oughtn't do that way. If you weren't drunk I'd kill you.", ' In a few minutes theyheard some one' scuffling. Willie Hill, one of the little negroes,' said that a white man slashing right and left rushed by him and cut him, the blade penetrating several thicknesses of clothing. The white man was chasing a negro abandoning the chase and going back into the crowd, he said. There were .two white men, the lit tie negroes said, explaining that one ran before the other was stabbed. The dead man ran in a circle for more than a hundred yards before falling, according; to the blood tracks. Robert Farris, of 15th street, negro carrying a guitar, was arrested. He told a j reporter of The Journal that he was with two or three negroes while they were serenading white per sons, collecting small sums of money for the music He left them .before any trouble began, he added, dis claiming any knowledge of the trage dy. lr. : .
