great that Mr. Herrig politely said: al
You come in here, I will XIII you" This
sentence, in such a deliberate manner
rather surprised Mrs. Nation and she
then called for Mrs Evans and they left
the room. The four women, Immediately
started east on Douglas avenue, with the
crowd following. BY this time there were
hundreds and there was loud talking and
yelling all along the line.
Tt was not known just what the next
move was on the part of the women,
but it did not take long to ascertain that
part Of the play They started across
the street for the Carey Annex. The
crowd then saw what was up, but they
naturally supposed that Mrs. Nation had
done enough at that place on her previ-
Gus visit to this city. Mrs. Nation was
in the lead, talking as she was walking.
She evidently knew the way and the
three women followed rapidly in her foot
steps. There were several men at the
Carey In front Of the Annex door Among
them were Detective Harry Sutton and
officers Pryor and Fox. They all stood
in front Of the door and the women tried
to enter. The officers refused to move
and the women tried to force their DO
sition, which ended in a general rush on
the sidewalk Mrs Nation was not to be
stepped by any single officer. SO she
thought, and promptly began to use her
hands. Finding that this did not stop
officer Sutton, she raised her Ratchet
but her arm was held so tightly that she
could not use it. officer Fox was having
his share Of troubles, too, and succeeded
In starting Mrs. Evans toward the police
station. About this time, some young
man in the crowd decided that he would
assist Mrs. Nation He rushed I'D and
struck Detective Sutton, but It did not
stunn him. officer Pryor released his
hold on one Of the women and decided to
take an active part in the affair with the
young man. At the time the young man
struck Sutton, Pryor Immediately sent
him to the pavement and the young man
concluded that the rest Of the affair was
not any Of his particular business. L
could not be learned in the crowd who
the young man was.
The women, after seeing that resistance
was of no use. went along with the Of
icers. They were followed by the many
spectators. At Topeka avenue the Of
1cers went south with Mrs. Nation to
William street and then to The station.
Mrs. Evans went around the usual way,
but all arrived at the city building at
about the same time. The prisoners
were taken to Chief Cubbon's private Of

had done He talked to them reasonably
and they stated that they thought that
they had done enough for that afternoon
Chief Cubbon talked to them about the

During the time that they were at the
