GAUNTLET TAKEN
UP BY COMMITTEE
kentucky Ave. Bawdy House
Keepers on Campbell Street
"Frontiersmen" Consult Judge Cross

an From Vicinity.
HER PRoFANE DECLARATION

Renewed activity by the "Frontier
Committee" has been precipitated by
the remova' of bawdy house keep
er from west Kentucky avenue to
Campbell street Ia the First ward.
Hurting defiance in the teeth of tne
committee and asserting that she
would move in, Gin spite of H and
high water" the woman carried out
her purpose and is now living in a
house on Campbell street.
At a called meeting of the "Fron-
tier Committee" last night in C. j.
Miller's tin shop, Sixth and Trimble
streets, the proffered gauntlet of war
was accepted and the word was pass
ed back chat high water she al
ready has, AMI H she certainly will
get" /
The woman told one of the COM
mitteeman o tell the committee That
she would put a bullet into anybody
that noses around her house" Be-
lieving that the woman is desperate,
the threat served only to make the
committee more cautious in their
movement toward securing evil
dence.
The principal action Of the CONF
mittee was to appoint committee to
visit Judge d. A. Cross of the city
court, who is preparing opinions on
the legal phases of the committees
work. This the committee will do
today or tonight. Meanwhile the
lighting blood Of the citizens of the
First and Second wards has been
aroused in a manner that nothing
less than the Westlake woman's at
titude and defiance could have done.
The members OF the COMMITTEES feel
that a crisis has arisen. other meet
ings of the committee will be held in
the near future to report progress
and outline the campaign.
