ROBBED OF $3.50
While Drunk-A Poor Girl Diseased
for Life-Two Women Arrested.

While Drunk-A Poor Girl Diseased
for Life-Two Women Arrested.
On the corner of North Flores
and Salina streets, there is a saloon
conducted by a white woman
named Lucy Solcher and a negro
named Viva Walker. 1t is con-
sidered a very disreputable place
and has caused the attentionIof the
police authorities several times
within the past month.
One night last week a guest at
the Mahncke hotel was called into
this saloon by the white woman,
while out on a drunk. He was per-
suaded to drink freely and after he
was too drunk to realize what was
going on, he was robbed of $3.50.
AS soon as this stranger missed
his money he visited Captain
Hughes office, and related the cir
cumstances, and an investigation
was made.
Last Thursday this Solcher
WOlHdn HOllCeu pOOI girl,
named Annie Brown, wandering
through the streets and alleys, hav-
ing no home and being without a
situation, her occupation being
cook. She approached the girl and
talked kindly to her and took her
to this house. The girl states that
she was forced to make the ac-
quaintance of Cinnamon and ne
groes, and that now she is a fit sub
ject for the hospital, being terribly
diseased.
After learning as much of the
place as possible, Captain Hughes
arrested Lucy Solcher and Viva
Walker for keeping a 5disorderly
house, and they will be tried to-
morrow, in the recorders court,
though it is thought both cases
will be transferred to the county,
to give the grand jury an OppOrtu-
nity for investigation.
