Reddick Scott, a negro man about
thirty years of ago, who lives with s
his mother over in the neighborhood *
of the county jail, startled the peace i
and quiet of the other residents of t
that section about 1 o'clock Sunday v
i morning by making his old mother
believe he was going to commit sui- "
! cide. Poor Re'.dick, with a mighty
i troubled mind, went down the rail- 5
; road in the vicinity of the watering
I tank and placed bis dusky body on
; I the track to be mangled by a train. I
1 This frightened poor Reddick's mo- j
! ther, and as she could not persuade ! *
him to remove his carcass from the
tracks,she proceeded to raise a howl
which in turn raised the neighbor- .
hood. Some friends who did not
want Reddick to go to an untimely
. death gently removed him from his
perilous position and gave him
lodging in one of the little new cells J
in the town hall until he could be '
' interviewed by the Mayor, who in a 1
' nice way relieved the would-be sui- *
cide of five dollars and his "troubled J
mind." . i
