Negro Woman Wants to Catch.
Cyclone Samuel and Beat Him.

Rumors Of "a Sensational SANDER Suit

rage of Miss Willie Belle
Andrews.

a negro woman in Henr;co is laying
for Constable Cyclone Samuel with the
avowed purpose of catching him, bagging
his head. and spanking him. The dark
skinned beauty has taken high umbrase
at the efforts of the Constable to lodge
her in Jail. and for the past few days
she has been haunting back alleys IN the
reiEhborhood of the Courthouse, detylng
anything roundabouts to catch her, and
extending a particular invitation to the
doughty Constable to call on her.
Only piece of the name OF the woman
can be learned. She is caleo Esteila py
her immediate friends and relatives.
Some time ago she saw a peddler wo-
man groaning under a pack, and, her
heart melting with pity, she knocked
the woman down and relieved her OF the
burden, or portion of it. Since that
time Estelia has been more or less IN
demand by Henrico officers. Traps have
been lair for her. Into them she walked
readily, but when she felt like doing so
she walked back out just as readily. Re-
Gently Constable Sameul executed a
particularly cute plan on Estella, and
Estella came out minus one sleeve The
ConStableS plan succeeded so We'll that
ne even got his hands on Esteila but
when he came that near Estel!a shklpped
airily away She left in his hands q. tro-
phy-one of her sleeves.
Single that time EStella has kept clear
Of the clutches of the law But she hasn't
gone far away. She is hanging around
the Courthouse and stroling around
some of the alleys. She told one. of her
colored friends yesterday that she was
waiting to catch Constable Samuel. She
says she is going to put her coat over
his head and beat him.
There is a possibility OF a sensational
suit for SANDER from Varina District
1t is said that certain young man OF
that section Of the county is charged
with having spread highly insulting ru-
mors about a. young lady, daughter of a re-
spectacle farmer. The father OF the girl
went to a magistrate and made an ef-.
fort to secure a warrant for the arrest or
the young man. but he was ADVISED that
this could not be done. The proper re-
course for him was in suit for SANDER.
which it is possible he Will now institute.
