bound over to the county authorities
yesterday, and. taken in charge by the
sherifrs office. will be heard in pre-

These negroes, it was told the police,
are thought to have worked together
in abstracting the sum of $50 from
the trunk of another negro, the latter
claiming that each of the parties nam
ed acted so suspiciously after he had
discovered the loss of his money that
he reported the matter to-Officer Bry-

stated. found some ground on which
to base the belief that the negroes had
connived in getting hold of the $50
which the third black man had lost.
and he sent them in as dangerour and
suspicious characters. They were both
bound over yesterday.
