A Chelsea Young Woman Paid a Fine in Jackson for Doing So. Miss Ella McCarthy, a young woman of Chelsea, who was visiting in Jackson, was arrested Monday morning charged with appearing on the streets in male attire. There were four in the party, three girls and a traveling man. Miss McCarthy in her neat suit of clothes, was helping out the stranger in entertaining the other girls. After a luncheon at one of the restaurants they started for a stroll, but Sergt. Tobin detected the counterfeit and Miss McCarthy was taken to police headquarters. She paid a fine in police court Tuesday morning and latter told her friends there was a little too much excitement in masquerading to lead her to repeat the experience.
