In Male Aliira.

Waco Examiner On Austin street
yesterday afternoon, the attention of
Marshal Compton Was attracted to u
person, whom, though dressed in male
attire, he recognized rs woman, The
officer arrested and conveyed her to the
police station, where, after some hesita-
ton she acknowled her sex. When arr
rested she was in company with stall
wart looking man, aged about forty
years whom she said was her husband.
An Examiner reporter interviewed
her at the station, She is blonde,
twenty.eight years old rather below
the medium size, and quite good look
ing a heavy suit of hair, entirely too
long for q man; small, delicately
shaped foot; tiny white hands, and o
full, heaving chest, are features in her
general make up, which will ever dis
tinguish her from the sterner sex. Her
apparel consisted of black pants, white
shirt, grey vest, polished boots, pair of
buckskn gauntlets and black SONS
brero. She wore no coat. At first, she
declined talking, but consented finally
to tell her story We give it as nearly
as possible in her own words THE
gentleman who walked out as you came
in is my husband He has gone to find
an acquaintance who win help me out
Of this scrape My husband and ! are
from Albany, New York, We came 10
Texas two years ago and established u
sheep rancho, near Perry station, in
this county. Our home is on the
rancho, seventeen miles from Waco.
We have thousand head of sheep
there. We concluded TO move our
sheep to one of the western counties,
provided a suitable location could be
found. My husband made up his mind
to start out prospecting. ! was anxious
to accompany him, but we had no
suitable wagon 10 travel in, and,
as can't ride sideways as other
women do | despaired OF going, until
the idea occurred to me that | might
don these clothes and go rs man.
My husband would not hear to il at
first, but consented after awhile. So
this morning just left our three
children with friend and we started,
without telling the neighbors anything
about it. We expected to be gone only
week or ten days. | thought the
disguise was perfect and was never
more surprised in my life than when
the man arrested me. ! do hope !
won't be detained here very long But
| suppose now that have been found
out / will have to 20 straight home.
Whatever else you may say about
us, please do not publish our
names. 1t would mortify me most
dreadfully to see my name in print in
connection with this affair" While
our reporter was assuring her in the
most gallant language he could CONS
mand that their names would be withs
held, her husband returned in company
with prominent Austin avenue mer-
chant, who seemed well acquainted
with the parties. A bond for her APP
pearance in the recorders court was
made out and the gentleman referred
to signed il. The lady was then con-
Quoted by her husband TO the Burch
house on Bridge street, where she at
