A Woman Armed fer the Fray.

Considerable excitement was created on
Front street last evening by the appear
ance of haggard woman clad in black
dress of the poorest material, that had ap-
parently been dragged through mud and
water She had in her arms bundle Of
War Crys wrapped around large revolver.
and in her hand carried harmonicon.
The strange sight attracted . crowd
of people, who followed until she
went into the Arlington hotel and
asked permission to warm her
wet and cold feet. There was nothing
vicious about the poor creature. and it APP
peared as if she carried the weapon to pro-
tect herself from imaginary enemies. The
last heard of her she was going along
Front street toward Pike.
