an "actress, by trade" and a good
looking young woman, was arrested
last night by Officers Dawson and
Porter, and a charge of drunk and

with "nigger," as she called Por-
ter, and lay fat on her back on the
sidewalk, unmovable. She said
she would walk down with white
man, and when officer Dawson
went to her she arose voluntarily
and walked along, flinging all
kinds of accusations at Porter.
A crowd of about $50 witnessed
the scene and followed the prisoner
to the city hall.

ress by trade. l was arrested for
