but which did not harrow up the feel
ings of others. was seen on the Sage
vile road Sunday evening between the
City limits and the shooting park. 1t
was that presented by a girl II years
of age who was sitting on the street
car tracks and SO drunk that she could
not hold her head up. 1t was case of
complete collapse. An officer who
|chanced to see her, arrested her and she
was taken to the police station in the
patrol wagon. She was arraigned be-
fore Justice Carney and the first thing
she said was that she wanted to go
home. She said that her home was in
Creston, Iowa, where she was born,
and that, since coming to Dubuque, she
had been working In restaurant. She
complained that she was sick and that
she got drunk quicker this time than
ever before in her life. All she drank
at the shooting park was wine and of
this she had only taken two glasses.
She presented such wretched appear
ance that 1t was the opinion of the
officers that she had been drugged, be-
cause two glasses of red wine would
not break her up as badly as she ap-
peared to be. She was rather good
looking, but had saucy appearance.
1t is only few nights since q couple
of young men came near having a fight
because Of her on prominent thor
oughfare. The justice sentenced her to
five days with the matron, telling her
that, at the expiration of her sentence
she would be in better shape to go
home.
