Well, last Saturday evening week ago
there was little circus out on West
Walnut street. The participants were
Mary Ann Moore, Lizzie Rickman and
Em Ross. These ladies (?) were &C
companied by Esquires Jack McMahan
and Squint Kittrel. McMahan informed
His Honor, Mavor Dawson, that his
business along with the above. named
trio was to preserve the peace. Kittreps
avocation ON that night is not 80 clearly
stated. But as to the circus performance,
the dusky danes (if not danes they soon
will be) had little set-to on South
street, but finally entered into q warm
contest about Mrs. Mahan's residence.
The chief actors were Lizzie Hickman
and Ann Moore. During the wool pull.
ling Lizzie Hickman lost her top-knot.
And Jim Lyle is authority for saying
that the wig was alive next morning
when found, although it made its bed
on the cold street all night instead Of
adorning Lizzie's warm head. Squint
Kittrel, with the three ladies, were
kindly cared for by Marshal Lewis and
Jim Lyle. Squint explains the trouble
as having arisen from each OF the con-
testant's strong desire for the presence
and person OF the handsome Squint.
Later on Peacemaker McMahan was
cared for by the officers and found to be
slightly under the "fuence."
These maidens are the same singing
birds of whom mention is made in
another article and who are now making
the Jail resound with their melodies.
BONNEVILLE RIOT.
Reader, this is also ten days old, for it
happened oil Tuesday of last week, and
outside OF the corporation, but it is none
the less spicy for all that; in fact when
the country folks set themselves for a
little fun it is generally Forthcoming.
The county atlas does not locate Bones
vile, but it is a small hamlet on the
Cincinnati pike. The interested parties
in this mill, for mill it was, were Mrs.
Allie Davidson, Robert Davidson, Josie
Hinton, Mary Barnes, with Langden
Mabin and Mrs. Duckwall as spectators.
Some little pleasantries had been going
the rounds in Bonesville, in which some
of the above.named parties were said to
have taken part. And when settle.
ment was called for and a comparison of
notes was had on the day above named
at the Davidson mansion, Mary Barnes
had forgotten part of the proceedings Of
former days. Mrs. Davidson freshened
the mind and memory of said Mary
Barnes by blow on the face, and while
she bent over the PROSTATE form OF the
forgetful Mary, compelled her to remem.
Der her former words. The rest of the
audience above named assented to the
justice of the proceedings. No arrests.
J THIEvING.
Since your patience is not yet exhaust
ed, reader, let your attention be called
to something both new and also little
old. The first chapter of this took place
On Monday of last week, while the finish
is not yet put on at this writing. On
Monday OF last week Mrs. Williams, for.
merly Mrs. Kendall, was washing at
Mrs. Thos. Langley's. She sent her two
daughters to school, or thought she did.
The girls are named Lille Kendall and
Eliza Williams, the latter aged years,
the former about l2 years, to all appear.
ance. Instead Of going to school as di-
rected, the kids wandered to the Gest
Settlement, where Miss Lille told vari-
GUS little stories, finally bringing up in
Leesburg at one Mrs. James Taylor's,
where Lille Kendall developed into one
of the most astonishing purloiners OF
the day. Her pilfering consisted of two
pairs of shoes, gold pen, ladies' under.
wear, three silk handkerchiefs, one
dozen common handkerchiefs, ribbon by
the yard of different colors and width,
stockings, shoe box, beed necklace, etc.
Many of the above-named article were
secreted on her own person and that ol
her little sister. A 50 bill was also mis-.
sing, but Lille denies taking it, while
the younger girl says that she did and
secreted it in her hair. The parties were
before Judge Kelly last Monday and it
was an interesting study to see one SO
young so terribly depraved without
manifesting the least concern Tor the re-
suit. She will be sent to the Reform
School at Lancaster.
