her down and kicked her. Her two
daughters interfered, when he also at
tackled them, dragging one OF them about

He then lit out, raising an empty stone
ale bottle as he did so, and hurting it at
Mrs. Freden burr, caught her full in the
face and broke her nose, also badly cutting
her face.

daughter. and both himself aud her mother
did all in their power Tor her. They
dressed her well and gave her coed school
ing; but" said Mr.. Smith, whenever
she gets with them two 'chippies' she goes
entirely wild" She has left her home

San Francisco, where she stayed two
weeks.
Mamie was arrested a few days ago with
several girls in WashingtOu-street lodg-
ing-hOuse, but the father did not appear

again went back to this house, and on
Sunday the father again had her arrested.

The father said i'll answer to a question
that he had four other daughters and three
sons, "and," he added. Il have SIX chill
dren dead, and Pm glad of it. | know
where they are" There was just the
slightest tremor in the old mans voice as
lie rubbed his hand across his eyes.
In the Police Court Mamie said she
wanted jury trial. She cried hysteric-
ally when the complaint was read TO her.
When her case was set for Wedn esday she
flashed up in a moment. u don't want 10
60 back in that Jail again. and | won't CO."
But she did e., however, and as she was
taken out soothing and screaming she
shouted at her father, IN get even with

people of that creed.
The two first met at 666 Twentieth
street. where her mother lives and where
MOser was employed to do some carpenter
work for the family. MoSer at once fell
in love with Miss Cameron, and began to
show her marked attention. He fire.
quently took her riding, and grew so de-
voted that her mother interfered.
1t was not long after this that Frances
paid MOser back certain amount OF
money he had loaned her, he giving his re-
CENT in full.
The friendship between the two being
thus rudely broken off, Moser began to
annoy Frances with attempts to renew
the acquaintance, and falling in this, pro-
ceeded to make serious charges against
her.
