John Pickett, col, reported to
Policeman Sowell about 4 O'Clock
Sunday morning that he had been
robbed of S14. so, at the room of
Henry Foster and his brother,
while asleep. The policeman made
search of the premises but was
unable to find any money. He,
however, took note of good
many things that made a suspi-
cious case, to say the least, against
one of the darkies. Magistrate
Caskey was awoke' and warrant
procured for both the Fosters.
Henry very readily gave bond in
the sum of $500, but his brother
failed to get bond. However, the
case was compromised on the Fos-
ters paying Pickett $12. and the
costs. The darkies are all brick
masons at work on the cotton
mill.
