Seated on the mourners' bench in a
very complacent mood. Lizzie Hail.. one

in her crib on Saturday. Rloomquist
said he had $50 in his fob pocket when
Lizzie sat on his lap. After leaving her
place he found nothing in that TO. peck
ct. Returning. he charged the woman
with the theft, which she Indignantly de-
MED. He asked her to turn her stockings
inside out, and if nothing showed up he

room and he followed her. Lizzie seized
a Ratchet and made for Bloomquist, but
did no other damage 1nan tearing his
coat with the Weapon. During the scuf-
file BloomQuist noticed a purse on the
floor and suspecting his money lay in the
purse. he made a grab for 1t just as an
other man entered n made a similar

a county affair and out of Judge Sulli-
vans jurisdiction. He then fined the ne
gress $40 for being an inmate Of a house
Of prostitution. and Lizzie felt that she
was getting off easy. Bloomquist was ad-
vised to present a complaint of robbery
against Lizzie before the county attor-
'ney, but the chances are that the Incl
lent closed this morning, as bloomquist
remarked on departing that he had no
positive proof against the woman
