Fight in a Prison Cell.
Annie Holmes black, squatty, peck
marked negro, and a notorious character in
for being on drunk and placed in cell at
the First. There happened to be in the
same cell, on a similar charge, white
woman named Mary Brown alias "Bobtal
Mary" who, though Of rather easy habits
and at the same time drunk, was rather
neatly dressed.
Annie Brown, seeing that the texture of
the goods Mary wore were very fine,
attempted to purlOin one of her under gar
ments while the fair Mary was wrapt in
sweet slumber. The tugging at the strings,
etc. awoke her, and when she demonstrated
with " Black ANNIE" for her felonious act,
this unfair damsel showed fight, and flying
| at Mary clutched her in the throat sinking
her ebon fingers into the flesh until the
| tongue of her victim hung out and her eyes
were almost bursting from their sockets.
Releasing her hold for moment, "Bob-
tail /" uttered such screams as to arouse the
| turkeys, who going to the cell, found Mary
on the bunk, with Annie over her still pun
cling her in the face. Upon examination it
was found that the marks of the black
fends claws were still upon the throat Of
Mary, and perhaps in few minutes more
she would have put an end to her life
Annie was taken out and removed to another
cell, where loud and deep were her impre-
cations against that "white trash" The
maletlictions of Annie flowed freely, until
worn ont with utter exhaustion she sunk
upon the floor, still murmuring dire and bit
ter curses.
