out or the kitchen, did not suit Hendrix, and that he accordingly called him down for it. He says that he then tried to ex

The, result was that the negro was aent flying out out of the place and his clother were thrown after him. Hendrix tells another story. He savs that the negro was drunk on whisky which he had stolen from his buffet and that he was abusive to his wife Hendrix did not propose to stand for that and so he took the colored man by the coat collar, just as any other person would do a negro who was swear-1
