Pitiful Condition — The St. Paul Press of Thursday says that a woman from forty to fifty years of age, quite plainly clad, and afflicted with “St. Vitas dance” arrived from this place on the Tuesday evening’s train, and was taken to the City Hall by an office under the belief that she was intoxicated. She there said that she was on the way to a married daughter in Michigan, having left several member of her family above St. Cloud. No names are given. Being short of money, funds sufficient were raised to carry her to her destination.
