AFRICAN - AMERICANS In the NEWS Dallas
Morning News About 10 o'clock this
morning a negro by the
name of Dick
Waggoner appeared before Justice Hinkle and
swore out a peace warrant
for
another brunette citizen by the name of Henry
Davis, alleging that he
(Davis)
had threatened to kill at least one negro by the
name of Waggoner. Davis
was arrested and states that the
threats were made in self defense and that he
can prove by competent witnesses
Waggoner is a "hoodoo" doctor, and that he has
been seen with a white
woman and had a two-pound chunk of loadstone in
his pocket, and that he had
been the direct cause of more than one little
disaster in the
neighborhood in
which he lived. The
story of Waggoner's
ghastly possession is, of course, all bosh, but
it is certainly a fact
that he
has created a considerable commotion among the
colored population who
live near
him, and he seems to be held in awe. News Index ©2025 If you find any of Grayson County TXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
