We overheard a Hays young lady re-

which, by the way, cannot be too early
to suit the people.

He InsuIted Women.

John Donovan, n truck driver, whose
reputation Is said to be not OF the best.
was a prisoner in Jefferson Market
Court to-day, charged with insulting
women and assaulting n policeman.
Donovans head was swathed in band
ages, and II looked as II the assaulting
were on the other side.
Policeman Michael Murray, of the
Charles street station, appeared against
Donovan. According to his story. Don
ovan and two other men named Charles
Fitzsimmons and James Flaherty were
standing on the corner OF Horatlo and
West streets last night, insulting
women. He told them to stop, and Don
ovan struck him. Then he drew his
club to defend himself. and incidentally
Donovan received some hard blows.
Donovan's story, as told to Justice
Mcmahon. was that he did not insult
any women. and that Officer Murray
came up behind him and struck him
with his club without provocation He
denied that he struck the policeman
Murray could not show any marks
where. he alleges, Donovan struck him
Justice Mcmahon held Donovan for
examination. The latter says that
as he Is an ex-convict. he thinks there
is no use OF his making complaint.
