The colored man was badly beaten, but the white man seemingly not satisfied, gathered other men and started for the section of the town occupied by colored. The mob burst into a restaurant and soon a free for all fight was raging. Later the mob ran amuck thorugh[[through]] the section and women and children had to flee for their lives. The police were reported to be powerless. They did not seem to know that anything out of the ordinary was going on. The report of the affair in the daily press was much exaggerated. Twenty-four hours after the fight all seemed to be quiet.
