Woman Disturbes Methodist Meetings
and is Arrested.

A woman giving her name as Mrs
Blanchard, Of New York, and who
claims to be Dowieite, has been dis.
turbing the Methodist meetings.
which are being held in this city.
After several attempts to quiet her
with requests to refrain from such &C
tions the police were appealed to and
she was removed from the church.
From remarks made while in charge
of an officer 1t seems this is not the
first time the law has intefered with
her efforts to break up meetings, and
asshe considers it her duty, she glories
in her ignominy. Thursday Afternoon
she attended the meeting, but notice
ing an officer she caused no distur'

The city authorities have decided
TO take her before Probate Judge
Bolts, and the question Of her sanity
will be decided.
