ES, I’ve quit railroading, and I
will never throw another
switch or flag another train as
long ae I have my faculties well oiled
and the bearings cool.''
A number ot old-time printers were
seated on the railing in front of the
office waiting for the "ghost" to walk,
when one of the party asked Stiff If he
had given up railroading. Stiff had
"carried" this same comp over the road
a number ot times.
"Why, on my last trip out of Mem
phis in It— you were flogging for
your brother and you told me you had
adopted the road, as there was good
money and a future In It. On that trip
you ‘took in' more than a V, besides
your salary. Why did you give It up?"
"A hoodoo."
"A what?"
"A hoodoo."
"Oh, come off! What are you giving
us? What kind of a hoodoo?"
“A negro."
"How waa that? Tell us about it.'
"We had the best run on the road—
a fast freight—leaving Memphis at
10:20 at night and arriving at Amory,
the end ot our division, early the next
morning. We had a negro brakeman
called ‘Big Six,' who was tile best
worker and the meanest negro I had
ever come In contact with. Ho was
afraid of nothing on earth except the
'captain,' as he celled the conductor.
He failed to ‘show up' for his run one
night. When we returned to Mem
phis ws were Informed ‘Uncle Zack'
had been, murdered.
Uncle Zack' was an old negro who
flagged a street crossing In Memphis
for our,road, and was one of the best
old negroes I have over known. He
hnd his wife were peacefully sleeping
in their little cottage near the cross
ing ths night before, when ths woman
was awakened as a blow was struck
her husband.
•• 'Big Six’ was standing by the bed
side with an ax In his hands, with
which he had split wide open the head
of the old negro. Tho woman recog
nized him and screamed. He lied, and
a diligent search by the officers (ailed
to reveal his whereabouts.
'That night we pulled out at 10:20,
ae usual. Twenty miles out of Mem
phis, at Cold Water Creek, we took
water. Juet after leaving the tank,
one negro brakeman came back to the
caboose and reported that 'Big Six had
hoarded the train.
•The conductor told him to say
nothing and ws would capture him at
Holly Springs, which woe our next
iD.
'When we arrived there a police-
man was summoned, and the night
clerk of the depot eating house joined 1
In the capture ot tha negro.
T had 17 'passengers' in a car of j
corn, from whom I had 'collected' $2.95. J
stand on one side ot the train, while
the conductor and myself were on the
other. The conductor ordered every
one to come out ot the car.
"The moon was shining almost as
bright as day. When the order to
vacate was given there waa a rustle
in the corn and a black figure Ipaped
through the window to the top of the
car In front.
"The conductor yelled to him to atop,
but he started down the train. Every
man began firing nt him, and after run
ning the length of two cars he leaped tv
the ground and started for an old field
near the railroad track. He ran Into
a wire fence, but broke through and
we thought he had izcsped. We got
through the fence as soon as possible,
but not a sign ot the fleeing negro was
there.
"We thought he had dropped Into a
ditch and would probably firo on us, >o
we began our search very cautlouely.
“'Here he is,' called the conductor,
and we hurried to hie side to find ‘Big
Six' with eyes wide open, as If looking
Into tho beyond, but still In death.
"The officer took charge of the body,
and we pulled out for Amory.
"I remained on the rood Just one
month from that night, and during that
time we hod eleven wrecks, and I never
look In a penny. That negro was a
hoodoo.” •
