afJJ ———■ DEsPKRATK WOMAN. She is Bundled Into a Blanket aud Taken oft" to Jail. Onancock (Va.,), March 27th.—Constable GuDter succeeded in landing in the county jail at daybreak yesterday morning Mrs. Margaret Thome, who has betn defying the law and its officers for several year's. Mrs. Thorne, who is a giantess, has been convicted frequently of selling liquor without a license. She is one of the best-known characters in the Charlestown region, and has the co-operation of the "Charlestown Tigers," who arc always ready to protect her against the officers of the law. Recently the officers succeeded in catching her unawares, but she stripped herself almost to the skin and then dared the constables to carry her off. They were unwilling to take the chances and retired. She was again cinvicted at the last session of Court and Judge Gillet, who bas just teken his seat upon the bench, issued an order for her arrest. Constable Gunter, to whom the order was given, secretly gathered a large posse and broke into Mariraret's house shortly after midnight. Mrs. Thorne was in bed at Ihe time, but refused tv get up and dress, and when an attempt was made to pull her out she fought like a tigress, and was helped by two of her daughters, who are also amazons. Meanwhile a third daughter had gone to secure the aid of the Charlestown Tigers. Before the desperate band reached the house, however, the woman had been bundled into a blanket and taken in a carriage to the jail. She has been cursing and swearing ever since that she will be revenged upon all concerned in her arrest. Destructive Winds.
