A HEROIC WOMAN KILLS Two TRAMps
But is FATALLY WoUNDED.-The vicin
ity of Tazewell Court House, Virginia,
was the scene of horrible tragedy last Fri.
day night. About Top. m. two tramps stopped
at the house OF Mrs. Becky Baldwin, a young
widow, and asked her to give them some siI-
yer in exchange for notes, offering 81 of the
latter for S. of the former. They soon left but
returned after she had retired and broke open
the door and entered her bedroom She
jumped from the bed and told them to leave
her room. They demanded her pocketbook
and threatened violence If she did not give it,
She went to her dress, deliberately took the
pocketbook from it, containing s2l, and threw
it In the fire. One Of the tramps stopped to
get it out, and she snatched up an axe and
dealt him terrific blow, knocking hun down,
quickly following with other blows, dashing
his brains out on the hearthStone. The second
tramp drew then drew dirk knife and rush.
ed al her, and stabbed her twice i'm the left
breast. She dealt him a fearful blow with the
axe, nearly severing his right arm near the
shoulder. The miScreant then fled, leaving a
trail OF blood behind him. His dead body was
found next morning two miles from the place.
young white man came by Saturday morn
ing and found Mrs. Baldwin dying She told
her story and died two hours alUerward The
dead bodies of the tramps were thrown into a
hog-pen, so great was the indignation OF the
people in the vicinity. There were no papers
upon them by which they could be identified.
