! saw something around the Newtor
wing of the double tenement which
shocked her modesty and caused bel
to cut Mrs. Newton's acquaintance.
WHAT SHE SAW
"was frequent visits from the chief o.
police and bis right bower Finley
Miss Bell thought that such visits
from married men to q married woman
were not according to the spirit of the
law laid down by society. and some,
or later would bring down the con
demnation Of the decent public upon
Mrs. Newton'e head. Accordingly
she secluded herself from the society
Of the woman and even desisted from
hanging over the back fence and dis.
cussing the latest fashion. Soon after
Miss Bell decided to be friendly with
Mrs. Newton no more forever, faint
murmurings from the public began to
be heard. Mrs. Newton was not
slow in interpreting this, and at once
accused Miss Bell of singing the solo
to the chorus which others had caught
up. Therefore she began to throw
slurs at the woman and finally came

During one of these Mrs. Newton
was especially severe ON Miss Belle's
dead mother, SO the lady saws. stating
that she had once kept an designation
house. Unable. single handed and
alone, to cope with Miss Bell, Mrs
Newton undertook to run her away
by calling in the marshal and his
deputy. These would get out on the
porch and. in concert, sing all of the
sweetes: and most approved obscene
songs, make indecent remarks and
drink beer by way of keeping up the
fun. Harrassed and insulted. Miss
Bell procured cowhide. and one day
when Mrs. Newton came BY she let
her have few licks. 1t created 4

the

relations which the officers and Mrs.
Newton bore TO each other. than Miss
Bell did.
One gentleman is to be placed up
on the stand. who will swear that on
a certain warm and sultry night he
hoisted his window and laid down to

the Voice of a man and woman in
earnest conversation and raised up to
see what was going on. He was sur
prised to see Marshal Craig with his
arms entwined about the Venus like
form Of Mrs. Newton. The lady was
telling him that he was drunk and
could not come in and the marshal
said: 81 don't care, am the bull of
the woods and l am going to stay
here tonight" Mrs. Newton told
him that he would arouse the neigh

would have to leave for a while until
all was quiet. Marshal did so and be-

He expects to prove by a certain
married woman that once on time
she was on very friendly terms with
Mrs. Newton. and used to visit her.
One day she called at the house and
found the doors locked. Thinking.
perhaps, that the lady was taking a
nap she went to one of the windows
which CHANGED to be up, raised the
blind, and there saw Deputy Finley
and Mrs. Newton in closer quarters
than was exactly proper.
Many stories are told by those who
reside in the locality on North Second
street. These are enough. Whether
there is any truth in them or not the

Deputy Finley says that his wife

One thing is certain that portion of
