Not Sure Of His Race

NOT SURE OF HIS RACE

Constable Charlie Fox has been investigating the story given out by Sam Perkins, the milkman, who alleged a few days ago that a colored man had frightened his sweetheart while he was out driving with her the other night. Perkins stated that the fellow peered into the window of the buggy top and almost scared the girl into a swoon.

Fox has interviewed the girl and says that she told him that she did not recognize whether the fellow who frightened her was a negro or a white man. She further stated, according to Constable Fox, that Perkins did not use a revolver on the occasion in question, to frighten away the intruder, although that is the report that he is alleged to have given out.
