COPS IN CRINOLINE ,
A Woman's Heroic Treatment of
Offenders of tlie Law ,
She Landa Three PriaonorH in
Jail Unassisted.
A good deal of fan WAS cnjoyod by
trr > police force Tuesday and yesterday
ever a volnntoor addition to tholt
number , who ran In two plain drnnka
before midnight , and yesterday
brought up an old ofTondcr whom she
charged with stealing a pitcher and a
geese , though the latter was more
like n gosling.
The curious part o ! the performance
is that the eolf appointed cnstodinn
of the peace is a woman. Her name
is Sadie McBride , jmd aha dooi not in-
dlcftto by her conversation that
she has aeon much better
days. She is of medium
height , and built like n female 11 or-
culos , and talks like a pirate king , her
language being more forcible than
ohento or elegant , Tuesday she
took up an Individual who wan
inclined to bo obstreperous , and oho
found it necessary to knock him down
two or throe times. After ho had
been Hoarohed , Policeman McBride
yanked him down the stops In a lively
manner and put him into the corridor
of the jail in the moat approved stylo.
She then started ofT down town with
the remark , heavily emphasized , that
if she found that other follow oho'd
bring him up , and oho did.
Yesterday she came with the
man , who had the pitcher and the nl-
loged grnao , and took him down the
cellar stops and put him in in the most
unconcerned manner. She wanted
him put in a cell , but the jailor thought
that was not necessary.
Hero is a woman , now , who might
lay some claim to woman's rights , aa
nho could fight aa well as vote for hoc
rights. Her laudable ambition should
bo encouraged by Mayor Boyd by ap
pointing her to the first vacancy on
the force.
