west side instead of taking to the

Des Moines, June 6.-Twice arrested
before for supposedly insane actions on
the street, Mrs. Alice johnson of st.
Peter, Mimi, was again taken up by
the police on information given by her
pastor, Rev. Rowland Hansen. She was
supposed to have drawn penknife in
a street car and to have made as if
to cut her throat.
Officer Belizzi caught her at Fourth
and Locust streets on her way to the
Dunkard meeting. Her relatives in
Minnesota have been notified and the
woman probably will be taken before
the insane commission if a reply is
not promptly received.
Three days ago the woman tried to
force money on people on Walnut
street, striking them with her umbrella
when they resisted.
