SERIOUSLY SCARED
Was Mrs. Scott by Q Begging
Tramp, Who Invaded Her
Premises Yesterday.

About ii o'clock yesterday morning
while BAzoO reporter Was standing cn the
corner of Second and Ohio streets, engaged
in a casual conversation with Officer Went
zelnsn, a small boy, apparently very much
excited, rushed up TO the officer, and as soon
as he could get his breath, stated that a
strange man was trying to poison Mrs.
Scott.
"Who is Mrs. Scou?" inquired the Off.
Ger.
Il will show you where she lives re.
piled the bow. And the officer and repor-
ter were piloted by the urch,n to the north
east corner of Main and Lamine streets,
where there is 8 small restaurant, i'm the
back room of which lay a woman, tremb-
ling and quaking with fear to such
an extent that she was scarcely able
to speak. Being somewhat treasured
by the presence of the officer, she recover.
ri sufficiently to state that a few minutes
prev iOus man, having the general ap-
into the front room, there being NO one
asked for q cent. She told one Of the little
fellows to give the man cent, which he
did But this did not satisfy the tramp,
and he came into the back room and ask
ed for glass and some wafer, at the same
time producing a small bottle, stating that
he wanted 10 take some medicine. The
glass and water were produced, when the
intruder poured ont few drops, but in
stead of taking it himself, went 10 the bed
side of the sick woman and placed il to
her lips, trying to force il down her throat,
when he found she would not
swallow it voluntarily. The poor
woman, smelling the fumes OF the decoction,
which were most sickeniug, and imagining
that the tramp was either trying to poison
or chior form her, staggered to her feet and
reeied towards the back door.
Seeing that he hsd frightened the wenan
almost 10 death. the self-appoin,ed physi-
ciau skipped out.
After hearing the statement of Mrs. Scott,
and receiving partial description of the
tramp, Officers Wentzelman and Fifer
started in pursuit OF the fugitive and over
hauled him les than block away. He
Was escorted back TO the residence of ms.
Scott for Identification. She was standing
In the doorway when the officers with
their prisoner arrived, and upon seeing
him she appeared to he very much excited
and unable To control her feelings. She
identified the man at once rs the one who
had attempted to force the medicine down
her throat, and beseeched the eficers not Ia
let him ever get away again.
The travelling physician % vas taken to
the station, but the most persistent gueS-
tioning failed 10 elicit any satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION from him as TO how he attempted
to force medicine down Mrs. SCOTS throat.
