PRETTY MAY PROSECUTED
Little Miss karrick Arrested Upon
Mrs. CrOssman's Complaint.
IL Was Charged That She Had Danced
in Manner to offend-Judge
Dismissed the Case.

The ntmble toes of pretty little May
"arflek are responsible for her appearance
In the police court yesterday as defendant
to charge broug ht by Mrs Anna F. Gross
man, of 1125 Harvard street north west
Mrs. Mary Warrick, Mays mother, was
with her in court, and Lawyer Fits de-
fended them. Assistant Attorney for the
District Pugh represented the Dis
trict, and Mrs. Crossmau was prosecuting
witness.
The two families are neishbors on Har-
ward street, and although their dwelling
places are SO near together, there is a
lively feud between them, aud the charge
brought by Mrs. Crossman against little
May seemed to be very much in the nature
Of persecution
1t was alleged in the charge that on April
16 last, while jumping rope, one end
of which was tied to the fence, and also
while dancing the skirt dance in the street,
the little girl unnecessarily exposed her
person.
Miss May went on the stand and showed
that her tongue was as nimble as her toes.
she made sweeping denial OF everything
contained in the charge, and declared that
she could "diSItrove any charge that woman
could bring"
Miss Phoebe Sharpless, neighbor, testi-
fled that she saw the little girl do the
skirt dance TO hand organ accompaniment
in the street one day, but that was all She
did notsee anything improperinherconduc
Mrs. Warrick testified that she had never
yet had occasion TO reprove her little
daughter for anything OF like character
and had never noticed anything improper
about her. She considered her model
young girl.
Several witnesses were examined as
to Mrs. Crossman's character and general
reputation for yeTaeity. Judge Kimhall,
after hearing all the evidence, declared
that the charges were absurd. and that there
was nothing whatever in the testimony to
convict the young girl. 1t was very evident,
he said, that she had iudulged in nothing
but the most innocent kind OF dancing and
he dismissed the case.
In addition to the feud between the
older members of the ia miles there
is great deal OF rivalry between Miss May
and q young daughter OF Mrs. Crossman,
and this, it is thought, added fuel to the
flame.
Senator voorhees, is Mrs. Warriek's at
toruey and Lawyer Fits stated last night
that as soon as the former returns they will
enter suit for Mrs. Warrick against Mrs.
Crossman for damages.

How a Marvellous Fish Story Saved
Several Mems Lives
Some of the local disciples of Isaac
Walton were hanging around a well known
resort not far from The Times office yes
terday, and as is usually the case with
fishermen, they were thirsty aud broke"
There was only one manin the crowd who
had money and the Others were doing their
very best TO make him treat. Stories OF
the wonderful casts and marvellous catches
they had experienced, heenl, read or
dreamed of were of 10 avail. ard they fl
naIIy gave up as a hopeless task
After brief whiff OF silence an old
fellow in the corner who had thus far taken
no part in the attempts to charm money
from the flush mans pocket, took his pipe
from his mouth and began: Charley
Laird caught a cat fish last week that
weighed seven pounds
The gang had expected something
startling, but only paltry seveu-pOund cat
fish Why there was never a cat fish
hooked which the catcher couldn't swear
on oath it tipped the scales at that weight,
and keen disappointment was written on
their faces. But not a bit daunted the pipe
smoker in the corner tried again:
The big-mOuthed bass is a most pro-
lific fish. l caught two last week and put
them in the bath tub at home. The next
morning the whole family was surfeited
with bass and we sent nice string to my
mother-in-law."
The crowd was disgusted. II he couldn't
do any better than that he had better shut
up. There was again a brief, breathlesS
silence and the old man knocked the

This occurred to a friend OF mine," he
began, who lives in the Adirondacks. His
name is George Washington Tompkins, and
as far as the cherry-tree story is concerned,
Friend TompkinS is worthy OF neing named

all the successive eels followed suit Tomp-

hand over hand until he was ready to drop
from exhaustion
Then he cut the ropo and called for as

around with their hay wagons, the eels
were packed, and believe me or not, gentle
men, when the lot was weighed il was
found that TOmpkins had caught 993

The man with the money hardly had
strength enough TO gasp: 'COme up. men,

not once, but many times, and had taken
his departure, the crowd, protesting that
the story teller had saved their lives, fen
