SHE DID Nor DIE.-Some time since
girl on Second street was almost kicked to
death, and the person who did the kicking is
serving sentence of six months in the chain
gang. The sympathy of the public was with
the unfortune girl, and all were DESTROYS of
seeing her assailant prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law. She for time was ex-
pected to die. The Police Judge and City
Attorney were called to her bedside, and an
ante.mortem statement taken. She recov-
cred. Two days ago she left the physicians
care. Night before last, it is charged, she
robbed man whom she had enticed into her
den, of $3.50, and at this time she is occupying
a cell in the city prison charged with rob-
berry. and, in all probability. will be sem
fenced to serve term in San Quentin. When
reporter interviewed her regarding her past
life he was told the same old story, " Mother
allowed me to run around nights" In this
city there are scores of young girls following
in the footsteps of this unhappy fallen girl.
Nightly they are to be seen on the streets
with unprincipled men and boys. They
learn to drink wine, smoke cigarettes, and in
very short time have fallen SO far that they
give up all hope of reformation and seek the
heyday of abandonment.
