The Arrest of Addie Woodward

A scene was witnessed on Pacific Avenue, last evening, that proved a painful illustration of the temptations and snares that are thrown in the way of young girls living in a city without the restraints of home and moral training. Officer McKay, about 10 o'clock, discovered in the Caboose saloon, on Pacific Avenue, what he at first supposed to be two young men very drunk. He waited until they made their appearance on the street, when he at once recognized in the person of one of them, Addie, the eighteen-year-old daughter of John Woodward, the former proprietor of the Terminus hotel. She was attired in a full suit of men's clothing, and was so intoxicated that she did not realize her situation. The officer immediately placed her under arrest and marched her off to the jail, where she was locked up. She had $5 on her person, of which the officer took and handed to Judge Lawrence, who authorized her release on that amount of bail to appear before him this morning. She did not make her appearance in court and the bail was forfeited. The other party, Jas. Manker, an employee in the railroad shops, for whose sake the girl was dressed as a man, was not arrested.
