A. PIucky Girl.

/. Last Saturday afternoon a tramp
called at the residence Of w. r. Parker,
south Of town, and demanded something
to eat. His young daughter, Miss EN-
ma, was alone in the house at the time,
She refused him and said that she had
nothing cooked, as she did not. want to
be alone IN the house with the man.
He then pulled out d revolver and was
going to force his way in, but the young
lady, who had been ironing when he
came to the door, and still held the hot
fiat iron in her hand, struck HIM a blow
with it in his face. He was staggered
and dropped his gun, which Miss Parker
tried to get, but he recovered and grab
bed it and ran off toward the creek.
Parties were out all the afternoon, but
no trace of him could be found. If he
had been caught things would have gone
pretty rough with him.
Miss Parker IS young girl of about II
or 13 years and has received many COM
pliments for her presence Of mind on
that trying occasion. She sho we'd her
self to be plucky and courageous
