WOMAN FIGHTS
LOCAL POLICE
Three Minor Casualties Re-
suit in Her Action in Police
Headquarters

The local police had another OBJ
streperous prisoner on their hands
this morning. This time it was not a
clothes-eating man laden with
hootch, nor a man who tried to set
the place afire. 1t was a woman
who gave her name as Mrs. Hollis
ami her address as 319 Herbert
street. For over an hour after the
woman was locked up pandemonium
reigned in the lookup and three min
or casualties resulted from h eff
forts of the policewoman and two
policemen to put her into a cell.
Mrs. Hollis was arrested and fined
$40 for allowing her son, ten years
old, to play hockey from school,. the
boy was picked up by Policewoman
Jens:ne Olesen yesterday as he was
fishing from the county bridge with
a nine year old companion. Both
boys are old offenders at staying
away from school.
When Recorder Pickersgill order
ed the woman jailed until her nne
was paid he started a first class rue
ton. Policewoman Olesen began to
escort the woman and the two boys
upstairs to the small room where
women and children are kept, but on
the way Mrs. Hollis opened up a VIC
ious attack upon her o and the
other boy.
Once in the upstairs room she
again began to beat the boys and
Desk Lieutenant William Calvin or
dered her removed to the lookup
downstairs. Shrieking and yelling
at the top of her lungs. the woman
was half walked and half carried
downstairs and placed in h jail,
where she Immediately kicked on
the door and raised such a fuss that
she disturbed the proceedings In the
courtroom.
The next move was to order he.
placed in a cage. The services OF
Policewoman Olesen. Lieutenant
William Calvin and Chauffeur Emil
Koyen were required to execute TINS
apparently simple order. Mrs. Hollis
is a small, lightly-built woman but
she put up one of the neatest scraps
that has been seen for some time
Fighting against overwhelming odds
she was finally placed in a cell and
the three officers retired to dress
cuts on their hands received while
Mrs. Hollis kicked, struck and bit.
In the cage occupied by the
woman was a bucket and Mrs. Hollis
started to take vengeance on that
Lifting it high above her head she
dashed it to the floor time after
time, creating a deafening racket
In between bangs she cursed the
police in really artistic style for one
not a native-born American. Officer
William Bachman was detailed to
take the bucket out of the cell, and
when deprived of this noise-make
the woman made the racket her
systems required by raising and low
ering. the iron bed in her cell.
After an hour of strenuous work
she was still going strong.
