After having been attacked and roughly handled by negroes late Tues day afternoon, John Garner, manager of a local Instalment furniture house, was rescued by Policeman Dan Cook from a crowd of fully 600 blacks at Gilmer and Fort street*. The affair created a scene of Intense excitement, and it looked (or a time as though a riot would result. At the time ot his rescue. Garner was being severely beaten by a negro wo man, while the great crowd nt negroes made Incendiary remarks and offered J assistance to the white map. One arrest was made. Minerva Duf fy. who is said to have been the woman beating Garner, w*as locked up In the police station on the charge of dis orderly conduct. Garner had gone to the home of a negro woman in Bell street to collect on a picture purchased from his firm, his collector having already failed to get the money. Instead of paying Gar ner, the woman cursed him. Garner then took the picture and started from the house. As he did so. the woman nnd several children ran after him. It was then but the space of a few sec onds until a big crowd of negroes was chasing Garner and rocking him. Hard pressed by the pursuing ne groes and fearing the picture would be taken from him. Garner threw* it to the ground and stamped It to pieces rather than allow’ it to fall into the hands of the blacks. At Gilmer and Fort streets, a block away, Garner wns attacked by a wo man, said to be M«;;erva Duffy, and was struck several blows. About this time. Officer Cook, who had learned of the trouble, rushed to the sceno and rescued the lone white man. The ne groes were then dispersed. The Duffy woman will be tried Wed nesday afternoon In police court.
