FIGHTING FOR HER SISTER.

A Negro Nearly Killed by a Courag eOus
Girl Whom He Assaulted in Her Room.
New YORK, May Jennie and Mary
Golf, aged nineteen and sixteen, live in the
village of Kossville S. l. Sunday night,
soon after they retired, they were aroused
by some person in the room. The intruder,
who was powerful negro, made desper-
rate assault on the girls, but thanks to the
presence Of mind of Jennie, coupled with her
remarkable pluck and great physical endur
ance, the ruffian was badly worSted. The
Misses Golf live alone in a neat little cot
tage. Five months ago their mother died.
They have supported themselves as seam
stresses. The premises were protected by
dog, but the animal became sewage and
Thomas Wilson, negro who worked in the
neighborhood, was employed TO kill it
Wilson, thus made acquainted with the fact
that the young ladies were unprotected,
planned dastardly assault. He forced open
lower window and crept up to the bed
room. His presence was not known until
he grasped Jennie by the throat When
she awoke the negro was clutching her
throat with one hand while in the other he
held light. Mary, the younger sister, also
awoke, but was paralyzed with fear. Jennie,
however, appears never to have lost her
presence of mind. In moving the light the
mans hand was partly released, and Miss
Golf ayailed herself of the opportunity to
break the grip of the rufiian. She rose up,
and, with her cIenched fist, struck the negro
powerful blow that knocked him
to the floor. He then sprang at tie
girl, but received a second blow.
while, with the other hand, Miss Golf
scratched his face, tearing away strips Of
flesh. In relating her experience the girl
said: 81 did not expect at all that wOnld
escape the fiend alive, but | fought hardest
when l thought of my sister. AS the man
sprang at me the second time | shouted to
my sister: Heavens it's niggerp Mary
was too frightened to move until she heard
my voice; then she screamed. The man
dashed out the lights and attacked me
third time in the dark. continued hitting
and scratching him. Our screams were kept
up and that must have convinced
him that the risk was too great. He ran to
the window and began to climb out As
he did so | gave him another blow which
caused him to go sprawling headlong to the
ground" In falling Wilson's chin struck
against the sharp edge of an ash-pan, all
most severing his wind pipe and causing
profuse hemorrhage. Miss Golf, look
ing out, saw, the negro, and fearing a
second attack, leaped to the ground and
brought neighbors who caused Wilson's ar.
rest.
