A WOMAN IN MALE ToGGERY IN OHIo-A female
was arrested in Dayton on Saturday, as the cars
were about starting for this city, whose case is some
what mysterious. The Empire says she stated that
she was resident Of Cleveland, and had donned
the male attire for the purpose of following her hus
band, who had run away from her. taking with him
her three children, to go as she believed to Caifor
mia. She was going to follow him across the from
tier to San Francisco She was induced TO resume
her female dress for fear, il discovered by the on
GERS, she would be arrested and imprisoned. The
gentleman alluded to gave her dress, and she Is
now in this city, but what she intends to do we are
not informed. She is good locking, appears to be
respectable, is about thirtytwo years Of age, and
gives her name as Mrs. Spofford. She carries a
Ratchet to defend herself. The lady was requested
to return to Cleveland, being offered pass, but she
refused to go, and now, like the chap who won the
elephant at rattle, the officer doesn't know what to
do with her.-CmeiNnati Enquirer.
