Two white highwaymen held up Sam Ferris, negro delivery boy for the Economy Cash Grocery Company, near the Hebrew cemetery, north of the city, Saturday night, and robbed him of $8, according to Sam’s tale to the police. The negro had made grocery deliveries in that vicinity and was en route back to the business section, he said. He could give no adequate description of his reported highwaymen, and the police were not notified until an hour following the robbery, consequently efforts to apprehend the men were unsuccessful.
