little girl. "Ah is losted."

looked down and saw that the child

"Bettah lemme carry dat pocket

"cause 70 might lose It."
without waiting for the little girl
to surrender the pocketbook. Lavinia
took It from her and the pair left the
station.
Lavinia dragged the girl from store
to store. spending her money all the
time.
Fortunately the cops wanted La

Things are getting SO now that
AvarvhndNy Uhn will
have to have q time lock put on IT
to protect his property.
So many servant girls think that
to have q Job in a rooming house
carries with II the privilege OF
looting the different rooms.
Margaret Winters 10 the latest
one OF these. And she got all that
was coming TO her. and then some.
Margaret had q passion for hne
clothes. Which is. of course, moth
ing new for a woman.
She swiped right and left from
roomers in the house where she
worked
She took some mighty nne clothes
and jewelry. She liked TO doll up
and make other girls envious.
Policeman Stroebel caught onto
these tricks and recovered q great
deal of the stolen stun.
Margaret's excuse was that the
woman she worked for owed her
some money and hadn't paid IL.
But instead of stealing from her
employer, she stole from the room
ers.
There were three separate charges
against her. The goods were found
in her room.
Judge MuIlowney nned her $50
or six months in Jail.
So Long, Mary.
beau failed TO show up with some
money that he promised her.
Consequently she developed q
to tackle anything that came along.
Someone advised her to drown her
sorrows in yokamee and she did.
She went into a place run by Moy
Gong and ordered enough yokamee
to take a bath in.
Some other women in the place
noticed her downcast expression
and commenced 20 kid her.
Mary got peeved. She threw her
bowl at one OF the women and
missed. The bowl went through the
plate glass show window and
smashed 1t.
"Hellup. hellup." yelled Moy. as
he ran out for a COP. "damme woman

Policemen Pence and Harper re-
sponded. They grabbed Mary and
took her out.
As they got her to the box. Mary
tried to bite Pence. He had to cram
his fist in her mouth to keep her
from biting him.
This window OF Moy's gets broken
every once in a while. He there
fore always expects something Of
the sort everytime there is a fuss
in his place.
The court fned Mary $50 and sent
her to Jail for ten months.
On q Sunday Afternoon.
Cum outen de street. Ah dares
70 to cum out here. All will break
cherry bone in yo haid eff yo does
Dare yo TO come out"
This lovely language was used
Sunday afternoon by Emma Dod-
son to Blanche Thomas. SO Blanche
said.
These two ladies have no partIc-
ular love for one another, said
Blanche. especially since she testi-
ned against a friend of Emma's and
helped to send him to the pen.
Emma came around to Blanche's
house Sunday, so Blanche told the
court. She was a trifie picked,
Blanche asserted. and the first crack
out of the box. dared her to come
out and fight
Instead. Blanche got a warrant
for Emma and charged her with
making threats.
Policeman Purcell. OF the vice
squad, whose name was taken in
vain by Emma, had the privilege
of arresting her.
However. the law recognizes only
one kind of a threat. inasmuch as
threats are actually concerned. They

Consequently there was no case

The court admitted that there was
no charge OF that sort made.
