! Swede Annie Fires A Shot.
| The graphic description of the scene at
tending the bacchanalian orgies held at
Diamonds Halfway house by the scarlet
women of st. Paul and their: paramours,
which appeared in Yesterdays issue Of the
GLOBE, had hardly gone to press before a
scene resulting therefrom was enacted which
almost terminated in tragedy. Among
those who participated in the orgie were the
keeper of bagnio named Oeson, COM
monty known as "Swede Annie and SOL
| dier "friend" known about town as Teddy,
"the Sergeant"
In company with these were young man
named Lowenstein and an inmate of OLE
sons bagnio, with whom he is said to be
particularly intimate. The bad blood of the
party was demonstrated before leaving the
Half Way house, where Swede Annie called
upon her "friend" Teddy to resent an in
suit, which he proceeded to do by striking
tue supposed perpetrator in the face and in
dicting very ugly wound.
The indignity was not resented, however,
and order was restored, the event of the
evening taking place short time afterwards.
| About O'Clock A. NJ. a party, consisting of
Annie Oleson, Teddy the Sergeant, Young
Lowenstein and his female companion, left
! Diamonds in q hack and started towards
| the city.
When about half the distance to st. Paul
had been travelled, a dispute arose between
! Teddy and Lowenstein, which the parties
decided to settle by q personal encounter, to
facilitate which they left the hack, the two
women officiating as seconds or umpires. A
warm engagement followed, during which
Teddy got the worst Of the. encounter, and
percsiving that he was about to be badly
punished, be called on Swede Annie for the
gun.
Going down in her kick she produced Q
shooting iron, which was suddenly dis
charged, whether intentionally or not is not
known. Believing that the woman meant
business, and coming to the conclusion that
discretion was the better part OF valor,
young Lowenstein threw up his arms, with
the exclamation, ~ am shot"'
Under the impression that she had called
the turn on Lowenstein, Annie resorted to
the wall hysterical, prompted by realiza-
ton of the supposed crime that had been
committed, whereupon. the young man in.
formed her that he had escaped unframed.
A brisk competition then took place for the
hack, seven dollars being offered by Annie
for the exclusive right OF the vehicle to the
city.
Lowenstein raised the offer and went he,
one better, which was promptly accepted by
tbs jehu, and it is said that OIeson and bel
'friend" were forced to walk to the city.
During the day LoWenstein sWore out 6
warrant for the arrest of OLSON, and the
hearing will take place to-day.
