have formed kind of court Sc
rial story for the last week. She
was enjoined from selling intoxi-
cants. She was arrested on complaint
of q spotter, and Judge Pollock mad 1hef
up on charge of contempt Some time
ago the judge sentenced a colored woman
to the penitentiary under similar condl-
tons and Mrs. Oman thought it gool
time to disappear and forfeit her bonds.
She was arrested in Minnesota on the
charge of being fugitive from justice
and. after fight, Gov. Van SAINT granted
n reduisition. Mrs. Oman did not abandon
hope however, and her attorneys lnstl-
tuted habeas corpus proceedings, winch
came up before Court Commissioner
Witherow, of Clay county, and the de-
cision will be rendered in day or two
Despite the calling in which Mrs. oman
was engaged, she has large snare OF
sympathy Her husband was an aged
and decrepit soldier and she asserts she
engaged in the business to support him.
While deploring her occupation, the vet
Grams rather sympathize with her in the
litigation to secure her return. and there
would be no tears shed if the Minnesota
courts would grant the writ of habeaS
corpus.

| charmed circle This fall an agitation
has been started by those on the outside
