Woman Arrested.

Some excitement was caused in the
southeastern section Of the city late yes-
terdav afternoon by two women who
were seated in buggy and driving the
horse in a careless manner. Officer
Nicholson approached the couple and
attempted to demonstrate with them, but
they treated him with contempt and
drovs away too fast for the officer to
oyertake them. The behavior OF the
women brought many people into the
streets, and a wheel of the buggy coming
off their performances we're brought to
sudden standstil. The horse became
detached from the vehicle and started in
a northerly direction through the street
which caused a panic among women and
children who feared they would be run
over. Officer Nicholson had in the
meantime reached the damaged buggy
and seeing that one of the women was
intoxicated took her into custody and
with his prisoner started to the station
house with the other woman following
Upon the arrival of the trio at the sta
ton house the woman under arrest man
jfested the greatest Indignation. She
gave her name as Eta G. Shields and
said she lived at Braddock Heights.
She termed her arrest a highhanded out
rage. and swore that she would not only
make the city pay damages for the in.
dignities heaped upon her, but would
avenge herself upon the policeman II
she had to sell all her property. Mrs.
ShieI lie, in an excited manner and weep
ing. told Chief Webster that with a
Young woman visitor from Washington,
who accompanied her, but whose name
she refused to divulge, she was driving
through the First ward when a wheel
came IF OF their buggy. The accident,
she said. drew a large crowd. She
vehemently denied that she was lntoxI-
Gated. The woman first declared that
she would not deposit collateral and
dared the officers to lock her up, but she
finally reltnted and left 50 for her ap-
pearance this morning. The horse
which had been secured, was held by
the police According to statements OF
witnesses the women drove the horse on
Battery Rodgers hill and in attempting
to turn the buggy capsized it. Four
dozen empty beer bottles and some gin
were found in the vehicle.
The women tailed to appear in the
Police Court this morning and the col
lateral was forfeited.
