women who have been approached by
men who tried TO embrace them and fall
ing in go doing generally pinched the
woman's arm. There had been NO
such caess In the Second police station
district. at least no woman entered any
complaint until last night. Mrs. Mary
Sawyer Of ESQ Gladstone avenue, was
going up Constitutional hill with her
daughter Mary j. Sawyer, when man
quickly approached the latter and
grabbed hold of her. The daughter and
mother both screamed. Officer Sharpe,
who was patroling bis beat on North
Main street heard the screams and ran to
the women's assistance. Mrs. Sawyer
gave the officer pretty fair description OF
the man. II was only 7:l5 O'Clock end
there were q good many men going up
the hill at the time, bu. officer Sharpe
hustled and no picked out the right
man, and sent In a wagon call. The man
arrested denied his guilt and he told
officer whipple quite tale of bis icing q
woman ha,er and fearing their touch as
IL il was poison, but Mrs. and Miss Saw
yer, when they called at the station later
on, identified the man as the one whc
bad assaulted the latter.

purported to be that of the managers Of
a good old time comic production and 1t
informed the reader that the man whose
name was upon IL, was acti7g manager
for j. NJ. Hill. Ihe card vas passed to
the lisutenant because the name was one
he seldom met and he stumbled bit In
rronouncing il. How the man who evi-
dently once belonged to the stage come to
play realistic cell scene was, he, with a
csmpapiop, wss seen by officer Bates to
get of a car tnat had just slowed up on
the railroad between Smith and Orms
streets and climb the hill. The two men
saw the officer and they started on run
for down tcwp. Officer Bates followed
then. and caught the fellow who gave the
caro- to the lieutenant, at the corner OF
Charles and Orms street. The poor
hard ur,, one time favorite of applaudine
hundreds, was given nights lodging
and this morning was permitted to go hi'

the Second police district, which 1t IL
needless to say 1t did.
