THRASHED THE TRAMP
A Plucky Green Lake Girl Puts
a Thief to Flight.
SHE BEAT HIM TOAsTANDSTiLL
Miss Gertie Anderson Proves Her Met
tie for the second Time. Though
Without a Gun.

There IS an is-year-old girl living on the
county road near Green lake who deserves
TO be presented with a medal for bravery
although. like the proyerbal woman, she
might run from a mouse. When II is a
matter Of depredating tramps, however.
Miss Gertie Anderson. for this is the young
Womans name, is up in arms, and her
spirit OF bravery shines as bright as that
Of any heroine in story
Miss Anderson was going home along
lonely country road Wednesday afternoon
about , o clock when iow-browed and be-
whiskered villain stepped out from the
bushes at the side of the road and followed
behind her few feet. He then approached
nearer and demanded Miss Anderson's
purse. which she was carrying in her hand.
The girl pluckily refused TO give IT up and
told the tramp she had q revolver Which
she would proceed to use If he did not keep
away, and that she knew how TO use H.
too. The wouid-be robber evidently took
this for a bluff on the part of the girl and
approached still nearer Miss Anderson.s
rising fears then got a little the best OF
her bravery and she turned and tried 10
get away from him. Her pursuer kept up
with her, however, and again the girl 5
bravery came 10 the front
In the road ahead of her she saw short
stick 1t was not much of a weapon, but
the girl thought il would serve, so she
picked il up and turned on her tormentor
He was so close 10 her that as she faced
him she raised her hand which grasped the
stick and struck him on the face with IT,
Not only once. but several times, she mt
him. and finally wound up her onslaught
by a blow which reached his mouth. The
man was so surprised and staggered by
the furious attack of the girl that he SIM
ply stood still and took his punishment.
and when Miss Anderson again started
away from him he made no attempt TO
follow her.
He is described as being man OF me-
dunn height rather heavy. with Struggling
brown hair and whiskers. He was poorly
dressed, a pair of blue jeans being part or
his costume. and wore a white handker-
chief around his neck.
This is not Miss Anderson's first exnerl-
enee of this kind Several months ago she
drove a tramp away from her iather
house at the muzzle of a revolver.
