PERTH AMBoY, Jan. 81, 1S94.-Two tramps
went to the dairy farm of Richard Fox yes
terday and demanded money from Mrs. Fox,
who was alone in the house at the time. She
ordered them to leave the place. They re-
fused to go and one pulled a pistol, saying II
his demand was not complied with there
would be serious trouble.
Mrs. Fox was equal to the occasion. While
the fellow was still speaking she reached to
the side of the door, and when her hand
came again into view she had a pick-aXe han
die in it.
Before either of the men could act she
swung it above her e and brougnI III
down with terrible force on the head OF the
man with the pistol. The fellow e down
quicker than Mitchell did when Corbett hit
him. The second man tried to run, but a
well directed upward swing on the back OF
the head stretched him to the ground. She
then coolly disarmed the men. From the
man who had displayed the revolver she
took the firearm, and from the other a knife
With the pistol in her left hand and the
club in her right she stood calmly by until
the men had gotten over the effects OF the
blows. When they had regained sitting pos
lures she lectured them, and at the conclu-
sion ordered them TO get out. They were
only too glad to obey, but she accompanied
them to the gate.
All the time she held the pistol so the men
could see it. The more dangerous club was
also in plain sight. When she saw the men
90 down the road she called for her daugh-
ter, who was coming from another dlrec-
ton. When the young woman hurried up,
she alarmed the n%eighbors and a searching
party went after the tramps, but they could
not be found.
