Rough ON the Ladies.

houBh ON the Ladies.
Two o'clock Wednesday morning,
Lottie Fraser found herself put out
in the street. with battered suitcase
and some other belongings.
Not that she had done anything
wicked. but because she refused to
move out of the house before her
, rent was due.
She had paid Ellis Taylor a month
In advance and still had ten days to
stay. before her rent was again due.
A cop found her sitting on the suit
case, wiping her eyes. One of her
eyes had been blacked in the putting
out process.
Ellis had been a little rough. And
be was quite peeved because Lottie
would not let him hold her hand,
she said.
The cop called Ellis out to the door
He admitted decorating Lottie's orb.
He was nabbed.
He told some awful things about
Lottie. But he couldn't prove them.
Her reputation is still unbesmirched.
And for Ellis he got thirty days at
the workhouse.

They VIII Have the Last Word.
Out near where Lawrence Bailey
lives an argument was going on about
who was to inherit the belongings of
a certain deceased person.
A sister OF Lawrence, Dora Trent,
said something which got Lawrence's
nerves. He picked up and left.
Dora followed. Lawrence cautioned
her not to. She refused to heed his
advice. She went righ: into his house
after him.
More words. Then some fight Dora
clawed her brothers face, he said.
Her finger got in his mouth someway
or other and he bit II.
More licks were passed. More words
spoken, all cuss words. Then Dora
ran out and got a warrant
Lawrence told the court he just
naturally had to do something TO keep
his eyes from being scratched out
He didn't want TO go around with a
little boy or dog leading him, he
said.
And as long as Dora was his sister
and partly to blame he was only
fined SO.
No Wonder We Have Pacihsts-
A little girl was walking down Sixth
street. She had a hole in her stock

apparel were strewn all over the
street.
Three cops came up. So did the
patrol. The scrap started again on
the way to the station house. One
