A NUMBER OF WOMEN IN JAIL

The police were pretty busy for
half an hour or so last evening, and
when the rush was over the city jail
was crowded with q miscellaneous
collection of men, women and children.
Jailer Andersons busy hour COM
menced when Mike Mahoney and his
wife and John Sullivan and Tim Han
ley were brought in by Officers MCLEOD
and Ingram for disturbing the peace in
Mahoney's house in Dublin gulch. They
were having a lively time of II when
the officers arrived and nearly all of
the furniture in the house was demol-
ished in the ruction. charge OF be-
ing "a low down, common hobo and
vag," was also entered against Maho-
ney, and he was taken to the county
Jail Mahoney is the fellow whose in
FAINT child was buried a few days ago
by friends. He was in Jail at the time
and was released by Judge Turner on
account of the death of his child just
after a Is days sentence had been i'm
posed on him for vagrancy. The police
consider him an unusually worthless
creature, and they will use their best
efforts to secure him a lengthy SEN
tence.
A second charge of fighting in the
Abbey saloon last Friday night was
also entered against Hanley. ID. l..
Smith was run in for assault in the Sec
ond degree on Joe Laclair at the corner
of Main and Copper streets, and a
charge of intoxication was booked
against Laclair in order to have him
on hand to appear against his assail-
ant. Laclair was badly used up and
DR.. Evans, who used up spool of
thread in sewing up his wounds, says
that he is dangerously injured. He has
three long cuts on his head and anoth-
er at the base of the brain where he
\. nln9 r
claims that Smith used both of his feet
and a club on him and his injuries give
his statement the air of truth.
Blanche Williams, the notorious, was
picked up for vagrancy. She was crazy
| drunk, and when she was locked in the
| cage she threw herself down on the
cement floor, bumped her head against
the bars, frothed at the mouth and con-
| Quoted herself generally in a very indie
| corous manner. The city physician was
| summoned, but she refused to allow him
| to touch her and attempted to bite his
| fingers off every time he undertook to
| feel her pulse. The doctor was finally
| compelled to leave her without doing
| anything for her and she continued her
| grooming without gaining any SYM
| pathy.
French Mary and Mrs. Erickson were
gathered In for street walking, and q
J few John Does who were run in for pet
! IL offenses helped to keep the Jatler on
| the jump while the excitement lasted
Joe Laclair and his bandaged head
were locked up in the cell on the wom-
ems side of the Jail Blanche Williams
had the cage all to herself and Mrs
Mahoney, Mrs Erickson and French
| Mary occupied the corridor.
| Just as the rush ended two of Maho-
| ney's girls who are performing al
| Blake & Beaupre's hall, called down &c
| he. witt q al their h.
| ers and they were all turned into the
| corridor with her. With their parents
both in Jail and their home broken VI
| the children were objects of pity and
in sympathizing with them there were
a good many of the spectators who
sympathized with their sobbing mother
| The police are inclined to think that Il
Mrs. Mahoney were let alone by hel
husband she would give her children g
| Pood home.
