JACK THE PEPPER.
Peeps in Windows on Ninth Street
and Scares the Women.

A Jack the peeper is causing much
excitement among persons living on
Ninth street between Jackson and Mar
iet. This Jack the pepper, as far as
AN be learned has confined his peculiar
lotions to Ninth street alone and has
..aused much terror among the women
who live on that street.
1t seems to be his special delight to
,un upon the porches and steps wherever
ne happens to see light and peep in the
windows. 1nus far he has not resorted
"a any violence but has succeeded IN
,nnoying the women in different houses.
When caught on one porch and asked
what he wanted he replied that 1t was
none of the questioner's business and
AN away. On another evening he fol
owed a woman along Ninth street from
| Adams to Shipley and at short Intervals
| rave peculiar howls. While coming II
| Ninth street he also would look into tn
windows where lights We're burning ant
when last seen he was trying to cllm|
up the wall of the Equitable Buildine
evidently to look into window wher
there was light.
one Of his favorite spots is Ninth an
Monroe streets. The stranger is dc
scribed as young man about 2l year
of age. tall and slender and has dar
hair. There is nothing about his al
pearence to excite suspicion as ne
dressed rather neat. He wears piac
oyercoat and black derby hat.
