Kate Was BOisterous.

warrant was yesterday sworn out in
Justice ]. Barton Miller's court against
Kate McCaffetty, charging her with loud,
boisterous, profane and indecent language.
The complainant was Elizabeth Case When
officer FUR went to serve the warrant
Kate who is an old offender, stood al the
top Of the stairs of her house in Canal
street and leve,ed a Colts revolver al him,
daring him to ascend. The officer went
forward, whereupon she pulled the trigger
twice. There was no report, and the officer
retired, and on securing a stout board he
held it before his face in protecting man
ner and again went forward. The officer
soon discovered that Hates pistol was use
less, and ordered her to go to the station
with MIN. She was very much in neslige
at the time. and refused to either go or to
dress. Had she gone in the condition in
which the officer found her and in which
she persisted in remaining there would
have been more excitement on the main
thcroug hfares than there was in Canal
street when Kate was on her rampage.
The officer finally secured blankets and
with assistanC hrouded the kicking form
OF Lady Kate and conveyed it in the patrol
wagon to the station.

found this to be true; also that the child's
mother formerly lived in Richmond, Va
but came here previous to the birth of the
babe. This event occurred in an institution
devoted to the reformation of unfortunates
here.
Soon after leaving the institution Ollie
Davis, by which name the mother is known,
became an inmate of a house of ill-repute
or which she has since become the manager
For while the child was boarded with a
private family. but recently Mrs. Davis had

the past three or four years; also that the
child had been both at the ID street house
ard at No 1918 18th street. She claimed

Major ]. Mcdowell Darlington made an
appeal to the court to return the babe to
the mother. claiming that If this was done
the latter would be moral and exemplary
in her conduct in the future
Mr.. Laskey opposed this, and Judge Mills
said he was compelled. under the evidence,
to do as requested by Mr.. Parkman. The
court further remarked that he had no
doubt the board of childrea's guardians
would be willing at some future time, If the
