COLLECTED WITH A POKER
colored Boarding Mistress En-
forces Her Demand for
Money With aDomestic
Implement.

A stockily built colored woman band
ishing a poker in the face of colored
man wearing white undershirt and ov-
eralls. attarcted to crowd shortly before
noon today at corner of Washington and
York streets. The woman, who was said
to be the mans boarding mistress, declar-
ed that she wanted, to collect board bill
long overdue.
'.Yo black loafer. she yelled, and then
she flew at the unfortunate bearder and
laid, the poker across his back with a
thump that seemed to break his ribs.
''Luff dat poker off me, chile" remon-
strated the man, as he tried to dodge the
blows.
1t was no use. She wanted money or
his blood, and the unfortunate boarder
began to feel that his end had come. He
tried several times to escape, but the in
furiated woman was too much for him,
and he was obliged to submit to the
thrashing, which was accompanied by a
most amusing flow of darky dialect. The
crowd enjoyed the fracas immensely.
The man finally made his escape down
York street and Disappeared.
