a
mense crowd Of people Wee gathered
around the corner OF Douglas and Market
street. The elephants were dragging their
ponderous weight in the street. the giraffe
was haughtily strutting along looking
down disdainfuIly upon his fellow
creatures, the camels were lazily walking
behind the band wagon, dreaming of their
desert home in far of Africa. not thinking
for moment thai they were in the city OF
the great rainmaker; the Circassiau prin-
cess gaZed serenely upon the multitude
from isilded wagon, and the resonant
voice of the calliope could be heard in the
distance
There was mad rush across the street
and around the corner, for a storm center
seemed TO have formed in front OF the
Fourth National bank.
One man said that somebody had his
POCKETS picked. another said that IL kid
was lifted on the trunk of an elephant and
swallowed while still another SAID that a
man had dropped dead The crowd be-
came dense aud denser, and finally 1t was
ascertaiDed that two women were fight
ing.
Mrs. j. F. D. Casey was down and
while seeing the parade she also saw
Miss Florine Stanley, her husbands
~
Miss Stanley aud she assaulted
her. She reached out for Miss Stanley's
hair and getting good firm hold upon IL
she dragged her down and then applied
her umbrella TO her. 1t was an exciting
scene and was brought on so suddenly
that the bystanders were too astonished to
interfere After a rough and tumble
scrap for few minutes the women were
parted. The i'll fortune of Mr.. Casey
brought him TO the scene, and he received
an artistic tongue flashing from his better
hall Officer Bedford Wood represented
the majesty of the law and he had his
hands full. He says he didn't like the joe
bit. and when Mrs. Casey asked him
what she should do, he advised her to 20
with her husband, which was exactly the
reverse of what the husband desired. At
any rate the women didn't come together
again. Mrs. Casey went home and Miss
Stanley went into the police station to
make complaint against Mrs. Casey, but
she changed her mind and went home
with her friend, Miss Martin.
Mrs. Carey was seen by reporter last
night but she refused to speak on the
subject.
Miss Florine Stanley was found at the
residence of DIR. c. t. Martin.
When asked how the conflict of yester
day began she said: Mrs. Martin, Blanch

aud her face was terrible. Her umbrella

when the umbrella brushed my cheek and
descended on the head of Miss Stanley
whom she struck several times, broke the
and then took her by the hair
and dragged her IN the gutter face down

How did Mr.. Casey come to be there?''
"Why." said Mrs. Martin. Il saw him
off piece ana while the struggle WAS go
ing on, | called him and he came"
What have you done towards having
Mrs. Casey arrested?"

the assaulted girl. Il did 20 TO the police
while excited and ask to have her arrested
ors"

Because my attorneys, Adams s.
Adams, advised me differently. They
said Mr.. Casey would have TO pay the
costs if she was arrested before he gets his
divorce. That is Just what Mrs. Casey
wants. She has declared that she Will

"You were pretty badly frighlened?"
"Ies | WAS, | was afraid she would

by Mrs. Casey. Sne said that she would
throw vitrioi in my face and in Mr..
Cssey's."
Miss Stanley then stated that other
threats had been made and that Mrs. Casey
had come to the o-fics on several occasions.
Once she had given her IA tongue lashing
and told her TO leave. She said that the
wife's jealousy extended TO other women,
and that she would not allow herself To
be introduced TO the ladies who made ap-
plicatious 10 MIR. Casey as teachers, even
when the ladies were married.
She descrlbrd the scene OF the horse

as NV parents desired that l do 80. We
both lived within four blocks OF each

and all our association together was per-
fectly So"
When asked why she did not remain at
home. she said in her usual decided tone:
My brother is at home and one roof i
not large enough for Us two.
When asked why she was az the resi-
dence OF DR.. Martin, sac eX-
plained that Sue bad hunted for
