POCKETS RIFLED AS
 MAN CLEANED WELL
Negro We'll Digger Leaves Trousers on Top of Ground and His Assist
 ant Steals Money and Escapes.

A peculiar case of robbery occurred at East Lake Wednesday afternoon by which a negro we'll digger lost S9 that he had left in his trousers at the top of a well while he cleaned out the mud from the bottom.
 The negro contracted to clean out a well for $3. He waited for some time to find negro to assist him and finally one came along. They entered into an agreement whereby the we'll digger was to go down In the well, while the other negro remained on top and hauled up the mud in a bucket. The we'll digger changed his trousers for pair of over alls before going down and some money he left in a pocket made noise. The other negro heard it.
 The well digger descends and sends up a bucket of mud. which the negro on top empties and then lowers the bucket back into the well. Next the assistant on top proceeds to clean the pockets of the we'll digger of the $9 and skips.
 Finally the negro below the ground wakes up to what has occurred and the neighborhood was startled by his yells. The police are looking for the assistant.

NEGRO IS CHARGED
 WITH THE MURDER
RICHARD JOHNSON ACCUSED OF KILLING ANOTHER NEGRO TWO MONTHS AGo-SHoT FIRED FROM A GROUP.

Richard Johnson, alias Henry Starks. was arrested last night by Policemen Brizendine and Ward and a charge of murder was preferred against him. The negro Is accused of shooting and killing a negro man on the corner of Fifteenth street and Avenue r about two months ago.
 The circumstances of the case were rather peculiar Three negro men and some negro women were talking together on the corner when one of them shot another and killed him. The other men escaped, but the negro women professed to know nothing about who did the shoot ing. Two women were arrested by Coroner Paris and held pending an in- vestigation. They were afterwards re- leased.
 The negro arrested last night at first denied that he was Richard Johnson, but afterwards confessed that he was the man of that name, but challenged the policeman to prove anything against him. He will probably be turned over to Coroner Paris this morning.
