CARELESS WITH A REVOLVER.


John Corrigan. desk sergeant at the po-
lice station, had narrow escape last night
when Mrs. George Taylor, colored, showed
large revolver under his nose to en-
phasize her remarks. The woman had gone
TO the station to complain about the alb
sence of her daughter, whom she alleged
had been taken away by an unknown man.
Corrigan leaned over the desk to write
down the complaint. The woman stood
close to the desk. On the north side of
the room were a number of sergeants ready
to leave for their divisions. 81 tell you IL
do find that man that stole my Nellie,
the woman said, pulling large revolver
from the folds of her dress, Il Will NIL him
full of lead from this gun" By this time
the woman had placed the revolver close to
Corrigans nose, and from her careless
manner IL was thought she might have
pulled the trigger in another instant Ser
geant Schroeder, who was sitting near.
jumped quickly and grabbed the weapon
from the womans hand. She was then
taken to the matron's Office, where she was
charged with drawing deadly weapons.
After the woman was locked UP IL was
learned that she and a number of neigh
bors had been drinking during the after
noon at her home on Rhode Island street.
Mrs. Taylor became intoxicated and went
to sleep. While she was doing her hus-
band and daughter went out to purchase
candy. Mrs. Taylor on awaking found
every one gone and concluded that her
daughter had been stolen.
