Race Riot at Long Lake
Visitors returning from Long
Lake bring a tale calculated to
revive memories of East St Lou
is race riots, and their attend
enfc lights.
It is said that a certain gen
tleman of the darker hue was
engaged in the pleasant and prof
itable occupation of ’’cetchin’ a
few of dem grayling fish”, when
he was rudely disturbed by a
white, ’’gemmun”, who started
pulling out the fishing gear.
Words followed, and in time
the sounds of battle echoed far
and wide, the white man shout
ing for help, with, ’’help”, miles
away. When the dust settled, it
was found that the white man
had a black eye, the coon a white
eye, and as there wTas no red
eye drunk,the man with the dark
optic is going to let light into
the other fellow’s dark skin, on
sight. As the parties have met
since the fracas, and the talk of
shooting was chin music, the a
ffair is probably settled.
