DISGUISED IN HOBBLE SKIRTS
MEN CAPTURE NEGRO CHARGED
WITH INSULTING YOUNG GIRLS

Of Keyport, in the hope that they
would be attacked by the man who
has insuted women. They were not
rewarded until last night, when they
made Johnson prisoner after an ex-
citing adventure.
Mr. Young, who conceived the plan
OF men adopting a womans attire as
"a disguise to capture, the offender,
after trapping him, was tripping along
like spritely maiden, between Cross
and Church streets, where the lights
are very dim, when he was seized by
a negro.
Several we'll directed blows in the
face convinced the negro that he did
not have woman to deal with and it
took all the fight out Of the prisoner
who was taken before Justice Walling
Immediately A large crowd OF resi-
dents, who learned of the capture Of
the man, gathered in the office Of the
Justice and there was much talk of
violence to the prisoner.

under which system the parks have
been developed and are further being
improved. The proposition Of some
members of the board is to leave
PARKS out Of the public works com
