Raided The Ranch {Defiance Weekly Express 6 Feb 1894]



Image result for ladies of the night




    The entire police force of Defiance put themselves stealthily to the southern portion of the town and descended in body on the old grist mill looking building, vulgarly called the shot tower. 
    This house has an unsavory reputation and is presided over by Jane Taylor, who has figured in police court episodes on driver occasions and then some.
    When the blue-coated guardians of the public peace gained an entrance they found the madam, Nora Thrallkill and another young woman who is registered at the station under the somewhat stagy name of Josie Golding. These women were entertaining three strangers who gave names that are understood to be fictitious. They are stranger in the city.
    The whole party were placed under arrest and will have a hearing before the mayor.
