The Woman OF II.


! 1t is always the innocent bystander
/ that gets the worst of it.
! The other day Eta Hayward ana
Viola Maidens had a fight.
Eta picked up an empty bottle and
threw it at Viola.
| Woman-like she threw the bottle
backwards and hit Pansy Jackson in
the face.
Pansy was looking on enjoying the
scrap and never figured for an instant
that she was going to get hers.
As soon as her countenanCe was
swathed in bandages Pansy hiked to
| the courthouse and got a warrant FOR
Eta.
! Despite nuWerous apologies from
4 Eta Pansy was determined to have
/ her punished.
Her beauty was ruined forever.
| Pansy hinted. and she must prose-
| cute
| The accidental hitting of Pansy was
not so bad, the court told Eta, hut
| the broken glass was liable to stick
! In the foot of some Ford auto and
| cripple it.
There are too many autos galavant-
| ing around the streets. the court told
! her. for broken bottles TO be laying
| around.
And when all was said and done
! Eta was facing a hunt for $50 or so
! to Jail for thirty days.

Conductor Carlton Minter was
waiting for the man in the pit, chang
ing trolley. to give him the go-ahead
signal.
Fisher reached up and pulled the
bell cord twice, thus signalling the
motorman to go ahead before the
man in the pit was ready, and almost
took his head off.
! Minter said this about Fisher IN
court, and also accused him of fool
/ ing with the bell cord all the way
out.
/ When Fisher went TO get off at
! Pine station, Minter called him down
for pulling the bell cord again, this
\ time as two women were about to
step off the running board.

brought out, and reached over and
hit Minter i'm the eye, closing it COM

A long time ago down In North
Carolina, Frank Rowe and Bill Car
ter had a scrap about a bottle OF
moonshine whisky.
The pair were arrested and put
to work on the county roads for
thirty days each.
This happened about fifteen years
ago and neither Of the two men
ever forgot the incident
Bill has been in town for about
ten years. Frank has been here
about five years.
Neither knew the other was here
until Bills sister introduced Frank
to him at a party.
Immediately the two men began
| to talk about the case.
Bill blamed Frank and Frank
blamed Bill. The girl tried to get
them to stop arguing and dance but
they wouldn't.
Bill called Frank a scandalous
! name and dared him outside.
And Frank being no pacifist. went
| out and pulled off his coat. and
the pair fought it out.
Both were nabbed.
Bill had the s. to pay his fine
and Frank didn't. That's all there
is to it.
