WOMAN DRESSED AS
A MALE TRAMP

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 3-After a
three months journey across the con-
tinent from Nevada, during which she
was attired in mems clothes, Mrs.
Margaret Jenkins arrived here Tues
day. She was making her way by
stealing rides on freight trains and was
bound for Lewiston, Pa, where she has
relatives A .Lehigh Valley railroad
special officer saw her in a freight car
and arrested her. Not until she was
taken to the station house did she re-
veal the fact that she was a woman
and then she told story SO pathetic
that she was released.
.. She said that eight years ago she and
her husband left Scranton for Nevada,
where they lived happily until three
months ago, when he deserted her. Too
proud TO remain in the town where she
was known, but penniless and without
friends to whom she could appeal, she
decided to make her way east.
Finding that as a woman even food
was refused her, and that work was
impossible to = obtain, she procured
mems clothing, cut off her hair and re-
s1nied her journey eastward. Her sex
was never discovered, nor was she ar,
rested until she reached here.
