FEMALE FIGHTERS RAMPANT Members of a Burlesque ‘Troupe on the War Path. They Attack Editor Goodwin With Raw Hides But are Put to Fhght. Sedalia, Mo. Jan. 3.—J. West| Goodwin, editor of the Bazoo, was} borsewhipped last night by three} females, members of the Mora bur | lesque combination. Monday night the company appeared at Wood's | opera house and yesterday evening’s | issue of the Bazoo contained a criti | cism of the performance and the| ; j 4 ——w members of the company which GLE filled with scathing roasts At 8:30 o'clock the mavager and | three female members of the com | pany stepped into Editor Goodwin's private office. As soon as he was identified as the editor of the paper, the women drew cowhides from uoder their cloaks and made a simultaneous assault upon him. They plied the whips with force and | he was compelled to fight in self- defense Office help rushed to his assistance and the women were ejected from -the building minus hats and whips. The women had also been roughly handled aud fled screaming, aud were arrested. Dr. Wood, proprietcr of the opera house, furnised bonds for their appearance in the police court today The affair caused great excite- ment on the street in front of the printing office, anda son of Editor Goodwin was arrested later for as- saulting a member of the company. Au idea of the Bazoo's stricture may be gathered from the following except which is the mildest part of the srticle. < “Tvo of the girls undertook a posing act, but a section of scenery, represating an Imsh castle in New Jersey, fell over on them and came very ne causing a stampede in the parquet This was the only thrilling incidentof evening. “Thew were only three bald heads at the cdf show, and they went out betweenacts and either took a drink or kickei themselves. May be both. “To sjeak seriously, this show was the wost fake that ever visited Sedalia. It did not even have enough merit tobe naughty. There was not a sbapel woman in the whole out tit, suchare indispensable in a limby show. )ue couldn’t tell the star’s neck fr¢n her umbilicus. Noboly in the gang could sing and thesong and dance artist was playingchamber maid in “their own special ar,” down on the side track. The nly music they had was the opera buse’s squeaky piano, which it woull be a shame for Champion Corbet to thump. The young fellow who panded it like he had a grudge agains it, was the only respectable lookin member of the show. The leading man has no teeth Whther he lost them in the bat tle oflife or in the meshes of Jeffer son Sity beefsteak. matters not. Howver, he added to the agony of the eening by trying to sing.
