AN OUTRAGE IN DAYLIGHT.
A Tramp Breaks into . House and
Fires at q Lady and his Pursuess

A Tramp Breaks inlO . House and
Fires at . Lady and his Pursuers
Upon opening the front door in re-
sponse to knock, Mrs. Bunting. who
resides at Morton Station, on the West.
chester Railroad, was confronted on
Saturday, by villainous-l looking ne.
gro, whose general appearance was so
forbidding that the lady quickly pro-
,eeded to lock the door, fearing that he
might enter.
Before she could accomplish this,
however, the fellow threw himself
against the door and forced II open. The
lady, with good reason for fear, turned
and ran to the stairway leading to the
second floor. Before she reached the
door at the foot Of the stairway q bullet
from a revolver in the hands Of the ne
gro whizzed close to her head, and af-
ter she had shut the door and ran up
stairs two more shots were fred after
her but fortunately without injury to
the lady.
A neighbor who had seen the negro
forcing his entrance gave an alarm,
and his efforts, together with Mrs.
Bun.ing's calls for held from an upper
window, soon brought number of
men to the spot. In the meantime the
tramp, frightened took to his heels
in hot haste, and ran across the fields
in the direction of the Ksllyville woods,
pursued by incensed workmen and
others, who picked up stones and clubs
with which they hoped to bring the
offender to bay.
The negro, as he ran, turned upon
his pursuers no less than six times,
discharging his revolver at each turn.
No one was hurt, however, and this
daring conduct of the villain only
caused the men to redouble their efforts
to catch him. But he was too fleet
footed for the best of them, and not on
ly in the chase, but subsequent scour.
ing Of the woods and surrounding
country until dark, proved utterly
fruitless.
The news of the outrage spread rap.
idly and so great was tue excitement
throughout that section of country that
the negro would doubtless have suffer
ed bodily injury had he been caught.
The fellow was below the medium
height, wore a soldiers blouse, and
had ring on finger.
Dr.. Goddard, ex-Coroner Of Phila
delphia, who resides in the nelghbor
hood, offers reward of $25 for the
body of the villain, "dead or alive -
and this is backed up by others, all Of
which will probably be put together as
a reward to be given by the citizens in
common.

Gus, but before b-coming entirely so he
uttered, "Oh, Christ, have mercy up
on my SOUL" Dr.. Chapman and other
