PeLIcE NEws.-D. W. Siefort, . resident
Of Housewife, landed 10 the Centre Q day
or two since, having bis ''keg pretty well
filed with bepzine," aad his pockets lined
With greenhacks After partaking of the
''good old stuff" In several places where Il
is dispensed, he proceeded to the house of
one Minnie Tarr, fair but frall woman,
aud became exceedingly couvivial with the
fair Minnie and another woman known az
Lou Henry, keeping up the festivities . |
night. Yesterday he made affidavit before
Justice Reynolds, to the effect that the wo-
men had robbed him Of his money. War
rants were issued and the females arres led,
and hearing resulted In their being held in
the sum OF $500 each to appear at Franklin
to answer. The hail was furn ished and
the women released. Sietort entered bail
on his own recognzance In the sum of $lOO
TO appear as witness. 1t is proper to
state that the women utterly deny any com.
plicity in the robbery, claiming that the
Housewife man, while intoxicated, spent
his money elsewhere. The whole affair
proves the truth OF the old adage-''A fool
and his money are soon parted"
Fanny Morgan, alias 'Red Headed Fsn,"
a irail sister residing 10 Oil City, came to
Petroleum Centre, yesterday afternoon, With
the evident intention Of having ''some fun
with the boys" Several "bowls' of the
''good old stuff" caused q wondrous
Transformation in this Amazonian female.
and 10 frantic tones she proclaimed herself
not only an advocate of womau's rights by
wsy of talking, but also ready and willing
to "punch the heads' of its opponents.
Upon being arrested by officer Atwell, she
refused to proceed to the lookup, aud as q
means OF defense, .'squatted" on the side
walk and deied The entire male gender to
arrest her. Officer Atwell procured rein
forcemeuts and after some trouble aptured
the vixenish Fan, and she refusing to walk
was carried to the lock up by four men, de-
posted gently aud tenderly tAerein, and
left to sober off, Late in the night, npou
promising faithfully not to drink any more.
and to behave herself, she was released an d
left for oil City. That was tho time that
woman's rights didn't gain victory, altho'
allied with and aided by King Alcohol.
