Woman Sought Four Years Is Arrested

Row at Indian Orchard Leads to Apprehension of Nellie Muskocka

About four years ago a place operated by Nellie Muskocka was raided and a warrant charging illegal possession of liquor was sworn out for her but she had left for parts unknown. Yesterday she got into a row with a man at 1332 Worcester Street, Indian Orchard, and banged him over the head with a club.

The man did not consider this a ladylike thing to do and having found that Nellie was wanted in Holyoke informed the Springfield police who called up Holyoke and Nellie’s arrest followed.
