ARRESTED AS ACCOMPi.ICES.
Two COlOred Men Who Are Supposed
to knOW About johnson Robbery.

Eugene HUFF and Billy Wilson, two
colored men have been committed to
the county Jail by Alderman Howe as
acconplices Of George Lander. who
robbed the Oriental club house i'm Oak
ford court, during the absence of the
proprietor. William Johnson Thursday
afternoon.
Land er was janitor of the club house
and upon being left alone Thursday de-
cided to speculate IL little on his own
account. He disposed of some of the
furniture to Huff and then gathering to-
gether about $500 worth of Johnson's S
clothing and jewelry, a mandolin revol-
Yer. gallon of whisky and several other
articles skipped out. whittier no one
knows.
IL was learned that HUFF and Wilson
were around with Lander dur
log Thursday and it was sus-
pected that they knew where the
goods had been disposed of. They were
arrested and are being held in the hope
of forcing them to disclose the where
abouts of the plunder.
Huif says that he suspected that there
might be something wrong about the
furniture deal and as soon as johnson
returned informed him of what his jani-
tor had done, thus showing him that
he had no criminal participation i'm the
deal. Both he and Wilson stoutly deny
that they know anything about the
case further than that Lander sold Huff
some old furniture and they helped
carry ID to Huff's house.
Wilson says that Johnson's club house
is a crap and poker joint and as he
summed 1t up himself "a house Of
miscellaneous ills"

discussions with the officials relative to the
historical correctness and validity of the
facts aGduced, even although they did not
touch upon any question of Importance in
connection with the controversy. All the
extracts from the archives which wero SUBJ
mitted to us by the British officials We're
