DOCTOR ARRESTED AS NUI-
SANCE.-Kittie Smith, q colored wo-
man, who is a peculiar character in her
line, was this afternoon iun in by Off
Ger Devins on the charge OF being q nui-
sance. That action was made necessary
from the fact that she attracted around
her such large crowds as to suspend
traffic on the streets. The size of her
audience on Kilby's corner would have
done credit TO a campaign orator.
Kittie thinks She is a doctor and q
very smart one. Those who know her
best think she is half crazy. She has
been in the habit OF preparing colored
water with various solutions and SELL
ing II as a wonderful medicine. She
found purchasers. and made a little
money. Kittie's downfall began when
she took to preaching. AT times she
would sing and preach a charming
rate. When she got warmed up she
would gest!culate wildly. and almost
shrek as her eloquence was hurled
forth. Then she would grow incohe-
rent and take on far away look. Her
ut:erances weGe lud!crously Illogical,
but she made noise. and the public
couldn't restrain their curiosity. officer
Devins warned him several Zines to de-
sist. but she paid no attention TO his de-
mands.
Her arrest created a scene. but there
was no other remedy and Kittie was
locked up. Mayor Brewer will give her
hearing Monday morning at o'clock.
