Pistol-Wielding Lady Demands Retractions in the Barber Shop

From the August 1, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"Miss Hortense Cotton, who last Saturday night drove terror into the hears of several fellows in the Lewis barber shop and Lewis himself when she stepped into the business place and demanded certain retractions on the part of Lewis, at the point of a 32-calibre revolver was arrested yesterday.

"The young lady was given a hearing and after the matter had been  threshed out by the officials of the law, the young lady was assessed the fine of $25 and costs, amounting to $33.60, which was promptly paid and the case dismissed."

Wonder what Mr. Lewis had said?
