ab )ut 0 o'clock, while Mrs. Frel Raymond
and her daughter, Miss Minnie, were sitting
in their room. Mrs. RAYMOND remarked tO
her daughter that she smelt whisky and fol-
quite awhile they were wondering from
whence came the smell. At about 10 O'Clock
the cause of the odor showed itself in the
shape OF a man at the east window of the
house. which is owned by Mr.. Abe Hays
He attempted to enter the window but the
piucky little woman that Mrs. Raymond il
foiled him In this for she quickly grabbed {
revolver and fired W. shots at him. TIL

act after the shots were fired and left as fas
as his feet would carry him. How well thu
pluck of this little woman and her daughter
contrasts with the actions Of the crowd tina
had the burglar ''cornered" two weeks ago.
