SIX IN JAIL. GANG OF NEGROES ROB BOX CARS BUT ARE NOW
 BOXED UP. IRON MOUNTAIN CARS Relieved of Goods of Every De- scription---one Made
 Confession.

Four negro men and two negro women were arrested by Deputy Constable Craig and an Inon Noun railway detective this "Wednesday morning and locked behind the bars of the Jefferson county jail CD charge of burglary and grand larceny.
 The names of the half-dozen dar- kys, all of whom resided in the east end of the city, are: Ed. Bullock, Nose Holmes, Kenyon Holmes, Elisha Clarke, Mary Jones ard Lucy Sheppard. The males of this dele. gatlon are employees of the Oil Mill bere but that plant is now shut down for a few months and burg lary seems to have been side line with them.
 During the past several weeks the local office of the Iron untain railway here has reported various losses from box cars, standing in the local yards, to headquarters and the local authorities. The losses oc- cured so often that the officials of the road sent a detective here to work on the case and, if possible, appreEend the guilty party or pat ties. The detective worked with Deputy Constable Cralg on the case, and Tuesday night the leader of the gang, Elisha Clark, was captured as be was making an exit from one of cars with a sack full of articles of wear, provisions, etc. He soon im- plicated the above named persons and the arrest of the whole pang followed. Several more negroes are thought to be implicated in the rob- bery, but they have not been cap tured.
 Elisha admitted his guilt and told the whole story. He told the officers where some of the stolen goods were stored and this is a list of the articles recovered.
 Three corsets, one empty hat box, one cake of cheese, six sporty silk bosom shirts, two straw hats, four packages of coffee, three pounds of tobacco, four pair of fine shoes, one
  pair of stockings, 100 pounds of meat and numerous other useful articles.
 The negroes were in the habit of breaking the seals on the cars stand ing on side tracks in the eastern part of the city. They would enter the cars, rob them and then secure y lock them again.
 The gang is now in jai! and they will doubtless take short trip oyer the road in few days.
