Negro Stole Itta
Bena Xmas Presents
(From MONDAYS Daily)

IA NAOiiOdy . Odi1y
James Nelson, negro. aged 10, wa
arrested Friday at Itta Bena for riff
ing the ~postoffice lock boxes. Sey
eral Christmas parcels and letter
were found on his person when h,
was arrested and other valuable pres
ents were recovered that he had hid
den.
The lock boxes at the Itta Bena Of
flee have been rifled from time to
time for the past several months. This
negro has been suspected since last
fall by another old negro who is re-
sponsible for his arrest, as this old
man had watched him very closely
since last September and had actually
caught him before but did not have
the evidence nor the witnesses to
prove his guilt.
Friday morning the old negro met
James leaving the p~ostoffice with a
parcel under his coat and he notified
the officials and the negro was placed
in Jail, within an hour after he had
stolen his last parcel.
Many of the Itta Bena people have
failed to secure Christmas presents
which were mailed to them this year
and it is thought by many that this
negro is not the only person who has
been tampering with the lock boxes
and it is believed the government in
spectors will make an effort to round
up some of the white boys who have
been loafing about the postoffice.
