Fatal Fight With Negroes
White man stabs one and four of them open fire on him
Danville, Va., Sept. 25.-- As the result of a fight on a bridge near the city between C.L. Perrow, 18 years old, son of a prominent farmer, and four negroes, was perhaps fatally stabbed by the white man. Perrow and the negroes had been drinking together, and Perrow became involved in a difficulty with Graves, stabbing him several times with a knife. The negroes then fired at Perrow 17 times. George Roberts, one of the negroes arrested, had two pistols, the chambers of which were all empty. Ed Graves, the negro who was cut, is guarded at his home. Three bullets took effect in the body of Perrow.
