The cries OF n young woman issuing
from a carriage which was being driven
in a re ckless manner down Broadway
hill, shortly after 9 o'clock last evening
attracted the attention of three citizens
who happened to be passing that way.
When the carriage WAS near the railroad
bridge the men ran into.the street and
stopped IL and held the horse lone enough
to allow young woman who was in 1t
with man to alight
She was crying und the man was bare
headed and there were other things to IN
dicate that "A scuffie had taken place at
short range
The young woman told bor resouers
that her companion was drunk and that
she had been trying 20 escape from him
but he refused to let her out of the car
ringe. She had thrown his hat into the
street in the hope that he would stop to
get IL and thus give her an opportunity
10 leave him.
The young woman started up Broad
way toward the city and she was soon
followed by the man In the carriage who
overlook her near Baker avonue.
The man I'm the carriage spoke to his
erstwhile companion and tried TO induce
her to get into tho carriage.

During the struggle the woman's sum

her a more serious matter than anything

who had befriended tho young woman at
the bridge again ran 10 her assistance and
when the man saw them coming he
jumped into his carriage and drove off.
