Mittie Moore Here Again

The police force last night raided the home of Mittie Moore on South Virginia last night and this morning made charges in Judge Parson’s court against Mittie for running a baudy house. The police say that they have the goods on her this time and for a time at least they will have her placed where the dogs can’t bite her.
