retreat Of all within range of the battery, it
deemed safest to let her cool down before at
tempting to dlsarm her. She gave her name

blasts of his nasal organs forming a curious
duet with the noisy declamations OF his con-
sort Oh the other side of the grating The
woman was registered tor a hearing by Jus
lice thompson ON a charge of malicious mis-
chief.
