PLuCKY WOMAN OPERATOR.
Frightens Off Thieves by Telegraph
ing for Aid.

Pittsburg, June 20.-Miss Alice Mahaf-
fey. night operator at the West Penn Sta
ton, had an exciting experience last night.
About 10 p. m, as she entered the tick ct
office, a strange man followed her and pre-
vented her from shutting the door. He
thrust revolver in her face, told her to K eep
quiet, aud then demanded the money in the
office. Miss Mahaffey turned away from
him, stepped to the hetelegraphinstrum entand
clicked off a message TO the Allegheny Of
flee and one to Tarentum, asking for help.
The fellow realized what she was doing,
but dropped his revolver and went out to
talk it over with his pal They hurried away
promising to come back and kill Miss Ma
haffey before morning.
The operator at Tarentum sent his mes
sage TO Detective Il. W. Mateer, and also
stopped passing freight and instructed the
crew to get off at Harmarville. When the
| freight reached the station the plucky girl
was in sole possession A few minutes later
! Detective Mateer arrived. The ALE
| gheny office also sent out a special engine
with several officers.
