Yesterday morning, on board the
steamer RHth, near Helena, a colored
"rouster" cut the pocket Of a deck pas
SeRger and stole six dollars and a quar-
ter in money. The deck passengers
succeeded in capturing the thief and
turned him over to the captain. The
thief was identified by the robbed pas.
ssnger, but he ob~stinately refused to give
up the money. He was placed on the
hurricane deck and a guard put over
him, with a view to turn him over to the
police authorities of this city on the ar.
rival of the boat at Memphis. The ne
gro coolly pulled off his shoes and sud.
denly leaped from the hurricane deck
into the river. The boat was stopped
and search made for the man, but the
fog was so thick that be could not be
seen. 1t is believed that he was drowned,
but then he may have been a strong
swimmer and managed to paddle ashore
from mid-stream.
