Young Women Are Insulted

YOUNG WOMEN ARE INSULTED

ONE INSTANCE WHICH OCCURRED YESTERDAY

All Similar Occurrences Should be at Once Reported to the Officers

The young ladies of this city have been annoyed greatly during the past week by men accosting them on the street and pressing their attentions upon them, if they chance to be out on the streets alone after dark.

The audacity of the fellows has evidently grown, for Tuesday a prominent young woman was walking down Division street during the afternoon when a young man driving a white horse and a smart equipage drove to the curb and invited her to accompany him. She paid no attention to him thinking he would cease bis annoying attentions, but he repeated bis invitations at short intervals until the young lady reached her home. She is very indignant over the matter and threatens to have the Mans audacity checked summarily should the experience be repeated.

Many young women are obliged to go out after dark alone and they have become badly frightened for fear the events of last spring which terrorized the ladies and enraged the men of the city, are to be repeated.

It is thought that these annoyances have come chiefly from some halfwitted fellow, but should he chance to meet any of the brothers of these young women bis mental incapacity might not serve as a very good protection to him.
