bustling about one woman in her night
clothing. They were not disposed to be com
munIcative, however, and the air was so
chilly that the neighbors returned to their
beds with the feeling that perhaps it might
have been ghosts or robbers, or something
else, but, as help was not wanted, it didn't
matter what the trouble was.
Cries for help on Eleventh street, between
n and o, about II o'clock Wednesday night,
caused rush of people, who happened to be
in the locality, to see what the trouble was.
-Four Knights of Pythias, in full uniform,
who had been attending drill, were among
the number and they charged to the rescue
through the mud and water In fine style.
The disturbance proved to have been created
by drunken woman whose husband was
trying to get her home. She had thrown her
self upon the sidewalk and kicked and
screamed like wildcat. The people who
had run to the spot to help female in dis
tress, found that their presence was unneces-
ssry, snd, when they heard her announce
that her clothes were coming off, they
quickly went away.
