ing. The expression Of the sentiment
was accompanied, however, by a very
cheerful and mirthful manner, which
led the listener to assume that the
lady's longing to take the principal part
in a massacre was not as bloodthirsty
as it sounded.
Some leading members of the GROWER
club. otherwise known as the Can gang,
who flourish like the green bay tree in
Ma'honey alley, were jailed yesterday
afternoon, and Aggie was among these
unfortunate individuals. They were &C
cused of fracturing the law by disturb
ing the peace, and the arresting officer
was led to arrest them by complaints
made by several other people who en-
JOY residence in the alley an! its
qualifications.
Besides Mrs. Sharp. May Brown, Mrs.
Keenan, and Mrs. McDermott were
planning witnesses We're Mrs. =. F.
Boyle. 4S Hesperus lode; Tom Smith,

alley.
Mrs. McDermott advanced a cash
bond Of $40 upon her arrest and secured
her liberty. Therefore she was not COM
PEELED to be on hand at the arrangement
this morning. TIL other women being
guests of the jailor, accepted his invi-
tation to climb the stairs leading to the
court room.
The latter all pleaded guilty, and
were fined SO. Then Aggie Sharp said:
"Say, Mr.. Boyle. excuse me for talk
ing. Amt we allowed to have little
jollifcation? I tell We this amt right;
rot To q those
officers; 1 amt goin' to stand this
much longer. They're alters comm
round an interferin'.
The lady's voice filled the court room,
and at the conclusion of her remarks
she was smiling at their own pleasantly.
Court Clerk VIM said: Hush" and
then Judge Boyle forfeited Mrs. McDer-
motifs bond for her failure TO appear to
plead.
Mrs. Sharp, who seemed greatly
pleased at her first Grafton. broke out
again, and the clerk requested Officer
Young, the court room police officer, to
take the ladies right downstairs and
give them good start on their terms in
Jail. On the way out of the court room
Mrs. Sharp wheeled around in the tail
of the procession and shouted in voice
robust enough for man and of dra-
matte pitch:
II tall We, Mr.. Boyle, they'll have to
let me alone, or YEN see some dead Off
GERS, guns and ALL" The voice scared
aloft with oratorical effect as the lady
closed, saying, 'I'll get cannon ball
and shoot the sons of guns" Then
Aggie went out with grin on her face
like basket of chips, entirely satisfied
with herself.

to cover the loss of the unfortunate man
who got robbed. This defendant is a

Annie Larue, another colored woman,
was arraigned on the same charge as
the Taylor woman. She was accused Of
robbing Dan Mcdonald, a callow indi-
