WOMEN FIGHT OVER A Dog

A furious fight occurred on North
Water street last night between two
women, which attracted quite crowd.
Strange to relate, the trouble arose over a
dog.
some four or five days ago the woman
who delivers milk in that part of the
town drove her wagon up SO close to the
sidewalk of one Of her customers that the
said customers dog jumped into it and
was carried home by the milkwoman, or.
at least, this is the story that is told
When the milkwomau was making her
rounds yesterday the dog accompanied
! ner, and he was safely tied in the rear
end OF the wagon, where he was not
easily to be seen. When she pulled
her wagon up in front of the other
woman's door as usual the lady came out
to get her milk. While the milk woman
was measuring out the milk the other
woman peeped into the wagon and saw
her lost dog there. She Immediately
| charged the milk woman with stealing the
dog and the latter defended herself lay ssy-
| ing that the dog was er own and that she
raised him. Then the lie was passed in
! true masculine style and tongues began to
/ exercise themselves at an enormous rate.
| Finally their blood began to boil more
| furiously and hair pulling commenced,
/ Those who saw it say it was "a terrible
! hattie
