A ROBBERY CHARGE

AGAINST

NEGRO

Charles Miller Accused of Holding Up Willard Brooks, a Farmer.

Charles Miller, colored, 706 North F street, was bound over to the Wayne circuit court this morning on the charge of robbery, after a preliminary hearing before police judge Zimmerman in police court. He was charged with robbing Willard Brooks, a farmer, of $8 last Saturday night. It is alleged Miller had an accomplice. He denies all knowledge of the robbery, and says he never saw Brooks before. . The affidavit against Miller contains two counts, one for petit larceny, alleging that Miller stole $8. from Brooks and the other count charging Miller with robbery of the same sum. Mayor Zimmerman decided the facts disclosed in court warranted a trial on the charge of robbery and bound Miller over under $1,000 bond. " Witnesses called -to the stand testified that Miller and Brooks with some colored men were drinking in a saloon at North Sixth and D streets shortly before eleven o'clock Saturday night. Minck ordered the men out that he might close his saloon. Brooks went first and Miller followed him. Miller told Brooks to "come along, there Is a friend across the alley who wants to see you." Brooks said he went east to the edge of the alley back of the saloon, and there three men closed in on him, threw a sack over his head, took his pocketbook containing $8, his spectacles and hat. Then the men fled. He found his empty

pocketbook and hat near the scene of J

the robbery. His spectacles have not been found. He values them at about $8. Milled said he was in the saloon drinking Saturday but did not see Brooks, and had no conversation with him. He denied ever having been convicted in police court before, but old dockets brought into court showed that on February 11, 1911, he was convicted pt stealing whiskey, and that he was arrested in 1911 charged with lifting a man's watch. ' Brooks is a white man living west of the city.

ASK GUARDIAN FOR

THREE YOUNGSTERS

Alleging ?hat John, aged four, LeRoy, aged Bevcfi, and Floyd, aged nine sons of Arthur Hijes, are without parental care, Mrs. Eilwbeth Candler, city missionary, today filed petitions in the Wayne juvenile coot, asking that the children be made wards of the board of children's guaru'ans, and that they be sent to White's Institute. The petitions state that the father of the children is of unsound mind and that the mother Is dead. The probation officer states that the grandparents of the children cannot give them proper care and that it would be best for the children if they were placed in a children's institution. The father has been in the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane but was recently released although his property is under the care of a guardian. The mother died the first of this month. .

Slavery In Scottish Mines. Slavery lingered in the Scottish mine until the very eve of the nineteenth century. Mr. Hackwood, in Tht Good Old Times," draws a picture of the Scottish miner's unhappy lot In the past: "From about the year 1445 until 1775 the miners of Scotland were bought and Bold with the soli. It i stated in old chronicles that bloodhounds were kept to trace them If they left their employment and to aid la bringing them back. By statute law miners were bound to work all days In the year except Paschal and Yule, arid If they did not work they were to be "whipped in the bodies for the glory of God and for the good of their masters.' Not until 1775 was the first law passed in an attempt to better this state of things, but it was 1790 ere the laW gave the " working miner of Scotland his complete freedom." London Chronicle.
