MADE HOME IN CHURCH
CRAZY NEGRO WOMAN LABORS
UNDER STRANGE DELUSION.
When Arrested by Sheriff She Said
She Was just Waiting for Her
Household Goods to Come in.

In answer to a telephone message
Thursday Sheriff Turner went out to
Herod to arrest a negro woman who
was in the white church there Great
ing disturbance.
When the sheriff reached the scene
he found Sally in the church in
very contented mood, and looking as
if she was settled for life. When the
sheriff asked her what she was doing
in the church she told him it was her
new house and that she had just
things to arrive. The sheriff soon
saw that she was "dippy,'' and per-
suaded her that she should go with
him to town, which she agreed to
without resistance, and when the
officer drove his car to the door of
the church a smile lighted up her
face and she entered the car with
the demeanor of a dusky queen who
had just come into ownership of a
new Ford with the high sheriff as her
chauffeur. She was placed in jail,
and will remain there until she can
be tried on a writ of lunacy.
She is as well satisfied with her
new home in the Jail as she was at
the church, and Saturday when her
daughter and her son-in-law came 70
town to carry her back home she pO-
litely declined the invitation, saying
she had decided to locate in Daw-
son for a while. She incidentally re-
marked to Deputy Sheriff Thomas
that she was not much in love with
her sOn-in-law, anyway.
Sunday she called for smothered
chicken, saying she just had long
ing for this delicacy and would never
be satisfied until she got it. 1t could
not be learned whether the bill of
fare of Hotel JohnedthOmas carried
smothered chicken Sunday morning,
but we suspect that she had to con-
tent herself with "a streak of lean
and a streak of fat"
The woman will be tried on writ
of lunacy at the expiration of ten
days from her arrest.
