Many substantial business and profess

Joys OF a dip in Nanny Nashs pond.
This pond, situated beside the railroad
tracks at L and 1st streets northeast. was
formed by the backing up of. the waters
OF Tiber creek at an opening Of the arch
which was built over the creek, but left
open at intervals. A score or more of
unruly urchins would gather on the top
OF the arch and. discarding their scant..
apparel with juvenile abandon, plunge
down into the not too clean water. while
Old Nanny Nash. who lived on the other
side Of the track. would stand on the
bank and threaten them with bodily rio-
lence. Nothing inundated. however. the
m;schievous youngsters would disport
themselves. while hurting gibes of de-
fance at the old creature. Whenever sthe
police came to rout them out they would
scamper into the opening Of the arch and
escape. 80
other and less innocent law5reakers
also used this arch as a means of foillng
the police. The rough element knew its
interior perfectly and. it Is said had pre-
pared traps in the form of holes In the
bottom to trip Their pursuers- One of the
initiated entering there always made his
getaway. In running along its. Shiny
and rounded sides none but the sure
footed had a show the runner was
Obliged to jump from side to side as he
ran to preserve his equilibrium. 1t was
into this arch that Dorsey Foultz went to
escape the pol ce in 1896 and out OF 1t
lie never returned. To this day his fate
Is unknown, as he was never seen again
