-Four women, whose names appear in
the Police Court proceedings, came here
yesterday from Washington and made
themselves conspicuous by getting drunk
and riding around the northeastern
section of the city in carriage. They
soon attracted the attention of the police
who intercepted them at a house on north
Lee street. The women were taken into
custody with some Of the inmates Of the
house. George Griffin, who was a wit
ness to the arrest, became indignant at
the procedure and his interference with
the officers eau ed them to put him under
arres. slsn. The women left collateral
for their appearance this morning, but
when the case was called the Washing
tonians were not present and forfeited
their collateral. Two Of the Alexandra
women we're fined So each and another
dismissed. Griffin was fined s. aud in
addition cent to lail for 80 days.
