Purnaclous ,frs. olsen.

The Campbell-Solerwitz feud has
now become part of the police court re-
cords at the Tombs, and pugnacious
Mrs. Nora Olsen has been the cause of
it. As stated in yesterdays Herald
Mrs. Olsen took part in the fight be-
tween two rival Oak street furniture
dealers because Campbell used her
name in one of his practical jokes on
Solcrwitz, and she was arrested by
Court Officer English yesterday for
blackening Campbell's eyes and tearing
Mrs. Campbell's clothes.
When arraigned yesterday before
Justice White Mrs. Olsen stated that
she had assaulted Campbell in self
defence. She claimed that he had in
terferred with her rights as an Ameri-
can, merely because she had bought
rocking chair Of Solerwitz and not OF
him.
Gle is a cast-of Englishman," she
exclaimed, ''or he would not drag q
woman's name in the mud. Yes, sir,
when heard that he had dragged my
name into the newspaper, sir, laid
for him, sir. l had my baby in my arms,
sir. when | saw him in front of his
store, sir Well, sir, gave my baby to
Mrs. Mccarthy to hold and then went
UP to him and asked him what he
meant by dragging my honorable name
into publicity. The fool laughed,
and then sir, | hauled oil, sir
and hit him in the eye. The
coward cried for help and then his wo-
man came, and | Just went for her, too.
acknowledge | didn't handle her easy
either, sir. Then q gang that meets in
the same house and calls itself athletic
club comes to their assistance and !
licked them, too, and I'd licked more
if any more would have come. l am
o poor woman, sir, but an honest mans
wife, and all l have ever gotten Of him
was his good name, and l will see that
everybody respects it, sir
Mr.. Campbell introduced in evidence
q pair of parti-colored eyes, and Mrs.
Campbell stated that Mrs. Olsen actual
ly tore every stitch of clothing off her
body. The members of the athletic
club which Mrs Olsen had mentioned
were all present in court, but none of
them ventured to testify against her.
Although more than two hundred per
sons saw the assault Mr.. and Mrs.
Campbell did not have one witness to
corroborate their testimony. 1t was
said that all feared the muscular arms
and hard fists of Mrs. Olsen.
But then there was no corroboration
necessary, as Mrs Olsen acknowledged
that she had tried to vindicate her
good name, and Justice White held
Mrs. Olsen in $500 bail to keep the
peace for six months. As she could
not furnish the necessary bail she and
the baby she held in her arms were
locked up in the Tombs until bail
should be obtained.-N. y. Herald.
