A BANKER CowHIDED By LADY. =
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
dated GAINESVILLE, December the 5th, says:
On last Tuesday the good people of
GAINESVILLE were furnished with bit of ex-
citement, growing out of the cowhiding Of
Mr.. John P. Hoyt, well known banker of
this city, by Miss Clarinda A. Andrews, the
proprietress of millinery store.
In the morning, as Hoyt was passing
up West Milwaukee street to his office,
Mrs. Andrews saw him from her store on
the opposite side of the street, and seizing
a stout cowhide which she had provided
for the purpose, crossed the street. and the
following conversation ensued:
Mrs. Ais your name Hoyts
H. (Bowing politely it is madame.
Mrs. A.-You have acted the traitor to
me and my husband.
And without further ado the lady pro-
ceeded to administer severe fageiiation,
laying her whip over Hoyt's face and shoul-
des with an emphasis which was feelingly
appreciated by the recipient.
The proceeding of course collected quite
q crowd, and the bystanders in terfering,
Hoyt escaped from the clutches of Mad
ame A., warrant Was procured from the
police court and the lady brought before
that tribunal to answer TO a charge Of as
sault and battery. The sapient dispenser
of law in that court fined her $50 and costs,
which sum was promptly paid by the citi-
zens.
The cause Of the difficulty was alleged
sharp practice with mortgage, and bad
faith on the part of Hoyt.
