AS the tourist travel increases the
news seems to fly to all parts of the city
where the small negro boys live. Yester-
day afternoon about thirty little darkies
were congregated in front of the De Soto
turning handsprings and amusing the
guests on the balcony by scrambling for
pennies, chewing gum and other trifes
pitched TO them. At times it is almost
impossible for ladies to pass, and no
policeman happens to be in the vicinity to
run them away, or arrest a few in order
to break up the nuisance.
Annie Sanders, a negro woman, who
was captured Sunday night by City De-
tective Bossell and lodged in the barracks
was bold robber. The woman is charged
with entering John Fagan's house on
Wheaton street, and helping herself to
everything in sight that was not nailed
down. A woman on the opposite side of
the street saw what was going on, but
thinking the Sanders woman wax agan' S
wife thought nothing strange Of it. De-
tective Bossell did some very clever work
and succeeded in locating the woman and
the stolen property, part of which was
covered in a corner by pile of kindling
wood. Recorder Wilson listened patiently
to the story Annie had prepared, but the
evidence was too strong against her, and
she was turned over to the superior court.
