M?mmenc? d early and was accompiisu'-fd
very rapidly, for each man did ,
[ his part us one who had one thing to
jfco and know how to do it. It was a
d^ig sight in itself and tho depot
grounds were jammed and packed
ffWith small boys and curious people
'flj witness it, and to see whatever else I
|f*ey could. 1 went down into tuc .j
crowd to look for a small boy for a
drjy, and I wonder now how it was 0
that 1 ever got out alive. Once I r
came near being run over by a largo a
hojse led at a break ncek speed by a j,
very ugly man, thru 1 barely escaped
being jibbed in the buck by the
tongue oi some kind of var.nin.|? chicle 111
and while dodging I ruin that was tl
cracked on the head with plank that b
was being carried horizontally through ,,
the crowd on the shoulders of a burly j
negro. Fearful of death or great
bodily injury i made tny escape l'roui ^
the scene with some dilliculty To r<
my astonishment 1 learned afterwards n,
that nobody was killed. We have cj
uo reports from the wounded if theic
were finy. Of course the small boy
was flot to he found.
Tlw quickness with which all of u
theirf work is done is astonishing. jl(
Skilled men and plenty of them ac- pi(
