uf2ctrlred q Sensation.
4 Venerable Chicago Detective Made
to Figure as & Lothario.

a1l8B tosteF, the NOTORIOUS young peTeon WIG
escaped from the Springfield newspaper men (ae
aho says), and ceno to Chicago in malo attire
has ut last created 8 decided sensation, anc
placed Chicago policeman ia n very onbarras6'
ing position. She had no feminine attire with
her when she arrived in Chicago. Her ya1ise
contained only mals shirts, which Ena probably
carried for tho Eamo reason that the Vasea1
College young ladies smoked poor cigars--tc
sustain the allusion "tlat thoro was
man around" She was friendlesa,
reckless, and, to all appearances, I'M.
trustworthy, and the Chief Of Police
WAS reluctant to send her home alone, especially
i'll her assumed attire. It 80 happened that
Detective S;u1onds was about to start for Bos-
ton to spend furloug! with his relatives in
that city. Superintendent Washburn thought
this good opportunity to send tho reckless
girl homo, aud consigned her to the charge OF
the venerable detective. Tie pair started on
their war, tho girl was left with hor rela-

concoct his story from, and tho Cool mendacity

tho Chicago Times. Following is the Gdzstte's
version OF tho story, Us unique in 1nendacity "a
