News Items Gathered West of Rock
Creek.
There was some commotion Thursday
night in the vicinity of the country resi-
dence of Major George A. Armes. at the
junction of the Grant road and Connecticut
avenue extended, caused by woman,
formerely in the employ Of Major Armes,
who secured an entrance to the house early
in the evening and alarmed the female in
mates, who were then the only occupants.
Word was sent for policemen, and Mounted
Officers Law and Easley responded. The wo-
man WAS taken out of the house. She claimed
that Major Armes owed her bill for por-
trait painting and also something like 500
for dressing a wound on his leg, payable
according to an agreement at the rate OF 81
per dressing. After being removed, the wo-
man remained in the vicinity. When Major
Armes returned, about midnight, he passed
in the house without being seen by her, but
the ligh- in his room attracted ner attention
and she raped on the window. She was
ordered away, it is said, but refused to go.
Major Armes secured a shotgun and fired
the weapon TO frighten her, but this had no
effect upon her. and she paced UP and
down the grounds about the house, and on
the front porch, remaining until 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, during all of which
time. u is alleged, she had nothing to eat.
Major Armes. it Is understood, denies the
Woman'S charges.
