Selma, Oct |.
 After several days of hard work the police force succeeded yesterday in ar resting the two negroes who on last Saturday afternoon stole a quantity Of drygoods and clothing from the store Of Topper Brothers on Broad Street. The store was closed last Saturday on ac- count of that day being Jewish holi- day and during the afternoon the two negroes who were arrested by the police force erected an entrance from the alley in the rear of the store and took from the store a large amount Of goods.
 Later that night the same two negro boys went to the store of A. Miller on Washington Street and while the store was crowded with customers one of them stole from show case three watches while the other one watched. After stealing the watches from Mil- ler's store. the two negro boys disposed of the watches.
 Both of the robberies were reported to the police authorities as soon as they were discovered and since then the police have been working diligently on the cases. Through the selling of the three watches that were stolen from
 the store of A. Miller. the police were able to trace the two thieves and yes- | terday afternoon they were arrested on SeNeTdi CidTBeS
 This morning the two boys. Leo Crystal and Arthur Taylor appeared in police court on several charges. They confessed to the offenses and were | given the extent of the law. Leo 1 Crystal was arrested on warrants charging him with receiving stolen property, buying and receiving stolen property and burglary. A fine of $45 | or ninety days was entered against him in all three of the cases and in the case against him for burglary he was bound over to await the action

The two little negroes are well known in police circles and have been arrested on several occasions for small thefts and the fines that were imposed on them this morning will keep them out of mis- chief for sometime to come.
