be the guest of the State.
Early in the evening Officer Polli no.
ticed girlish looking youth on the
streets and his actions were such as to
arouse his suspicion. After watching
her for while he crossed over and
questioned her, when to his surprise
she admitted that she was girl in male
attire. He at once took her to the city
building. She was attired in a black
coat, a black hat, and a pair of blue
oyerhauls turned up at the bottom.
At the city building she stated that
in company with Charles Knox she had
struck town early in the morning, and
had been loafing around town. They
