WOMEN CowHlDING EACH OTHERS HUs-
Bands From the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL
Messrs. Harrison & Camp have been part
ners in small jewelry business on the south
side of Fifth street, west of Walnut. They
have lately had little business misunder-
standing, in which Mrs. Camp has seen fit
to take an active part, much to the disgust
of Mr.. Harrison, whose idea was that he and
his partner could settle their business affairs
without the interference Of the ladies. Mrs.
Camp, large, strong woman, took eXcep-
tons to some remarks Of disapprobation of
her course that Mr.. Harrison made, and de-
termined to be revenged. She purchased Il
rawhide, and yesterday noon, meeting
Mr.. Harrison on Fifth street near the
store, proceeded to ply 1t over bis head,
cutting him twice with it. Mr.. Harrison
managed to wreSt the whip from the infuri-
ated woman, and then, deeply mortified at
the occurrence, went to. his rooms near by,
and informed his wife of what had occurred.
Mrs. Harrison asked him why he didn't
knock the woman down. He remarked
that such course wouldn't have answered.
Mrs. Harrison then made up her mind IN
twinkling. She'd get even. She hastily
donned her hat, took the whip, and started
for the store. There she found Camp, and
then and there proceeded to give him beau
tiful fogging. She is a little woman, but
evidently full of vim and determination, fo1
she laid the lash over Mr.. Camps shoulders
so vigorously that he was forced to retreat
to a hallway, raise chair to throw off the
licls, and yell. Take her away take hel
away" Mrs. Harrison allowed herself to
be taken away when she considered herself
completely even.
