WOMAN LAWYER FIGHTS
Hair Pulled and Garments Torn In Bat
tlo at Jail.

CHICAGO, July S1.-As the climax
to series Of verbal encounters. in
which Mrs. Kate Ross, q lawyer, and
Miss Minnie Jacobs, a probation Of
ficerr, have taken part, the women yes
terday engaged in free fight in the
county Jail.
They were forced apart by guards of
the institution before any serious dam
age was done, but Mrs Ross, in collect
ing her belongings, found herself to be
short several locks Of front hair and
portion OF her waist. Miss Jacobs was
scratched about the face and suffered
torn skirt and other minor injuries,
Both women professed a willingness
to go ahead and settle the matter of
physical supremacy right there, but
they were informed that the rules Of
the Jail prohibited any such exhibitions.
and, much to the disappointment of
number or prisoners, tho fighters were
taken out of the place.
Mrs. Ross stated that she would swear
out warrant for the arrest Of her on
Ponent, but up to late hour had not
made good her threat.
According to the statements of both
women the trouble between them ia
OF long standing. Each states that the
other has spent great deal too much
time in meddling with business not
her own.
Yesterday Miss Jacobs was in the
jail visiting n prisoner, when Mrs. Ross
entered to interview prospective eli
ent, The woman lawyer, it is said.
IN passing Miss Jacobs was careful to
see that she jostled the latter.
Miss Jacobs was bumped against the
iron railing Of a cell, and without wait
Ing for further formalities sho attacked
the lawyer. She secured a splendid
hold on the front hair Of her opponent
and was about to drag her along the
hoor to some other part of the Jail
when Mrs: Ross got her right to shirt
waist Of Miss Jacobs.
Both women are strong, and it is
doubtful which would have secured the
decision when the mill was stopped.
For time the battle was kept up
at long range, but the vocal abilities Of
the women were not on par with their
close range methods, and hostilities
ianguIs9ed as they were thrust forth

BIG-PRICED DOCUMENT
Woman Swears Lost Manuscript Is
Worth $4,000,

CHICAGO. July 31.-Modestly placing n
valuation OF $4,000 on an unpublished
manuscript, lost somewhere between
Chicago and Longton, Kan. DR.. Marie
Michael Flack yesterday brought suit
| against the Wells-Fargo Express COM
pany for that amount.
II is stated in the plea Of the plaintiff
that the manuscript covered 1000 pages
OF paper and that 1t contains the story
of her life.
1t is rot stated IN tho plea OF the
plalatlR whether 1t is tho story of her
lllo that is valued at S25 900, but there
seems TO be an impression among tho
officials of the express company that 1t
is the latter.
1t la recalled by the attorneys for the
corporation that Shakespeare wus par
ticulnrly glad when he got $50 for somo
OF his masterpieces. and that Dickens
was moro than pleased to be In tho
receipt Of less than one-nfth OF tho sum
for "oliver Twist asked by tho Kansas
authoress for her missing production.
Milton produced Paradise Lost" and
mover made $4,000 out OF It.
SO far as we can learn" said the act
Ing manager OF the company yesterday,
this story has been read by only ono
person. 1t was sent to Chicago by Dr.
Flach TO bo looked over by literary
man. The literary man may or may not
haye looked II over but he sent it back
to Dr. Flack and placed valuation of
$50 on It. That Is about all we care about
knowing"
STILL there are lots OF things that
could be written on 1000 pages OF paper
that would be worth S25, 900. On the back
of one OF the sheets may have been a
formula for a substance that would cause
hair TO grow on barren scalps, there
might have been some lively personal
"reminiscences OF the great flood by Fer

Levy Mayer might have been disclosed
