SOME ONE ELsE's SENTENCE
ss What Emma Hill is Now Serving I'm
tho City Jail.

Something of u sensation was sprung
| In certain circles yesterday morning
when it was accidentally discovered
that at least two of the prisoners at the
| city jail had been serving another per
sons sentence.
On the 2Sth of June last before the
present Police Justice took his seat, Ida
Lee and Emma Hill were arrested on
charges of assault and profanity. Each
woman was fined $40 and sentenced TO
sixty days In jail apiece as an addition
al penalty They were taken over to the
city Hotel In accordance with the laws
stern decree. This would have been the
last OF 1t had not the Hill woman yester-
day sent for Mr.. Julius II. Saunders, at
torney, and requested him to find out
why she was in jail so long.
An investigation revealed the fact that
several GROSS mistakes had been made
In the mitimuses of these two women.
There were two OF the latter for Ida
Lee. one for $50 and COSTS" the other
for Isl and costs" Neither one OF them
Said word about sixty days in jail
