He is hard case and has often been in the clutches of the law, and was released last week after having served sentence of thirty days in jail for stealing pistol. He persuaded the girl to go with him to buy doll and when they came to some bushes on the side of the street he forced her into them, but she succeeded in free ing herself from his grasp and screamed, when two Mexican men and two women | when the william fled. The affair was at once reported to the police and Nor mandy was soon after arrested and placed in the city calaboose. When the news reached Congress street the indig nation of the people was aroused and for short time excitement ran high and there was some talk of lynching. The officers, to provide for such possi- bility went and removed the prisoner from the calaboose to the county jail, where he now is. The outlook now Is that Normande will be taken care of at public expense for long time to come.
