E. A. DELL is ROBBED
OF 500 IN CASH

r. A. Dell, 156 East Third South
street, was robbed by colored woman,
Levenia Taylor, aged 10 years. Of 800
Wednesday night in his room. The
young woman was arrested, and Dell
promised the police that he would ap-
pear in court against her.
Such thievIng, far from being un-
usual, is repeated almost every night,
The women have been arrested in al
most every case, but the victims, fear
ing for their regulations, do not prose"
cute the cases, and seldom regain their
money. This brutal type of robbery Is
carried out almost exclusively by col
ored women. The indiscreet man is
lured into an obscure place and his
pockets carefully gone through. The
majority of the cases are never re-
ported to the police, and those which
are reported seldom get as far as the
courtroom.

The Echo mine has been worked for
a distance of about two miles under

Beechwood mine and on the otner into
the old Central mine, which has been

opinion as to the cause. The Echo
mine is located near the Red ASH mine
which exploded with disastrous re-
suits two years ago.
