A WOMAN

PARIS, March 6.--The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Paris
Temps gives an account of the fog
sing of woman student by the police
after Red Sunday" Though her
breast had been slashed open by
sabre cut in the streets, she was
taken from the hospital, despite medi-
cal protest, and "a hours afterwards
an ambulance took her back to the
hospital in a shocking state She was
as pale as death and could not stand.
On being undressed she screamed
with pain, and it was then found that
her shoulders, her back and her loins
were black and blue all over. There
were marks the size of ones little
finger. She was placed in bed COW
cred with milk curds to relieve the
pain. A gendarme remained near her
day and night. Nevertheless, her case
became known. A commissary of po-
lice had questioned her on the revo-
lutionary plot and the anarchist
movement, as she was known to
have friends among the revolution
lists. She refused to speak. where
upon she was whipped with birch
rods, without regard for her wound
She was kquestioned second time,
but would say nothing. She was then
whipped again, which drew from her
all the police wanted to know. The
informant of the newspaper corre-
spondent says that this is not an iso-
lated case, and that for several days
birch rods did duty as most of the
police offices of the capital.

Fight on Bizarre Lines.
Can you imagine two men entering
ring in these days without a referee,
timekeeper or seconds?
That is what happened in New

my first appearance in the east.
At the time, Dominick McCaffery

My victory over Kilrain at New
Orleans had won me considerable
newspaper notoriety. Kilrain was
