The sheriff, however, had another capias for her in a sec one! case and as she Had not tin pan d for this unergency the only iccoiirse left to the sherllt was to put hit ill jail until she could hunt up hei law.vernnd get out another Insolvencj petition and bond. Judge (Jiinste" heuid a statement ot the ease, and after leainiiif that the vviminn had u sick husband who need ed her cue and taking lulu consldcia ilon the close approach of Christmas, he called the sheriff up and told him to di-ihau:e the woman.
