NOTES [50 words]: The description is based on the Brown/Schinhan-FrankCBrownCollectionNCFolklore5 fragment. The informant said he heard it at a minstrel show, which I readily believe; this sounds like a part of a skit in which a member of the troupe is having to explain to a policeman how an altercation came about. - RBW
