Dl1 Ladies A1xosts1 IN Anoko,


sads ia Ohio and adjoining States seems
to have died out, tho pra,ine band Of
ladies in Anoka have kept ~ their
pr.yiag. It seems that some of the
people up there had got tired Of the
latter, and on Friday ok Of tho ladies
were arrested at their homes on the
charge of obstruoting the streets. The
ladies were Mrs. Tuttle, wife Of. Rev.
j. B. Tuttle, the Baptist clergymao.
Mrs. Houston, wife of Mr.. Houston, Of
Houston & Co., Mrs: Chase, mother Of
The Chase Bros, Mrs.. Rogers, wife Of
A. P. Rogers, stat,oner, Mrs. Northup,
mother-in.lsw Of J. NJ. Woods, artist,
and Miss Powell, teacher in the pub.
lie school. They were taken to the
court room which was densely crowded.
Many Of the lady spectators shed tears,
while tie opposition party seemed to be
jubil.nt. Through an error IN the
warrant, tho ladies were obliged to be
discharged and there the matter ended.
ON THE OTHER HAND.
On Thursday evening some of the
ladies went into tho billiard hall Of j.
Gamble, 10 the leib House, and com.
nsnoed praying aud singing. Gamble
went 70 them and asked them to leave,
but they declined to do 10. He then
took each one by tho arm and led them
out The ladies then had him arrested
for assault and battery, and the case is
to be tried at Anoka on Monday.
Messrs. Atwater & Babcock have been
retained BY Nh. Gamble, and an excel.
lent time Is expected
