Show IN A FIT. About 8? 9? o'clock last night a woman fell in a fit on the street near Morgan's College. She was on her way home at the time, and was carried into a Chinese wash house near by and kept there until she revived, when she discovered that her purse, containing a little over $5? and some papers, was missing. Search was unavailing; and finally, a small boy stated that he was [saw] a negro wench steal the woman's purse when she fell. A negro wench named Lancaster, a low character, was subsequently arrested and taken to the city jail on suspicion of being guilty of the theft. Examination showed that she had on her person a purse which answered the description of the one supposed to have been stolen, as well as some papers. However, it has not yet been identified. She will probably have a hearing to-day. -- Salt Lake Herald. |
