ed villains, to murder an old lady

appears that Oh the evening pre-
viously mentioned, the old lady had
been to the barn, having just given
the horses water, and on returning
to the house and opening the door,
she discovered a stranger in the
room, ard Immediately demanded
to know what the party wanted in
these words, "What are you doing
here, and what do you want on my
premises!" Now she discovered
that there were two men, and one
Of them said: "You keep quiet" and
he stepped forward and struck her
on the forehead with club. Mrs.
f. then commenced screaming
"Murder, Help Help!!' The des,
perado then struck her again on the
head, and the poor suffering woman
turned to 90 out the door, when she
was again struck on the back OF the
head and knocked senselcss to the
floor. The two ruffians and woulc
be murderers then left the premises
and disappeared from view. The
loud screaming Of Miss. +. was heard
by neighbor not very great dis
tance from the residence and hs
dressed himself as soon as possible
and hurried up to the house to rem
der what assistance he could to the
lady. He went into the house anc
found Miss. f. sitting on a chail
