WOMEN'S BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Negro, Axe in Hand, freaks Into Their
Sleeping Room.

Sleeping Room.
West Grove, Pa, April >. In desperate
battle, carly yesterday morning, Mrs. Sarah
L. Walker and her daughter Mary, who r..
eide On their iarin, two miles south Of this
plncc, frustrated the IHurJlerous attack of II
negro. The women occupy "A room together,
and were awakened M 1.3U by crash At tho
window and recognized, they say, their
negro hired man, Thomas Gibbs, entering
the room. He had smashed the window
with an axe.
The negro grappled with the mother,
choking her, and attempted to drag her to
the window, where the axe lay. The daughter
seized a corn cutter, which she kept for pro-
lection, and attacked the negro so tercely
that he was forced TO release Mrs. Walker TO
defend himself. While the daughter con-
tinned the attack upon the negro, Mrs.
Walker screamed for help. Fer cries were
heard by farmer whose house is close by.
He rushed out and, after ringing the farm
bell for help, came to the rescue and was
Joined by neighbors.
The negro, falling to regain possession of
the axe, because of the fierce fight made by
the younger woman, retrented by the way he
had come into the room. He fled to another
room, and WIS there guarded by rescuers
until arrested by Constable Speakman. tIe
was then brought to West Grove, where in
default Of heavy bail, he was sent TO jail at
West Chester.
Gibbs the alleged assailant of the Walkers,
had been in their employ about four months
and ocCupiIl a ro1n in the farther part of
the mouse. During tile night, it is said, he
secured tho axe and climbed the porch
pillars to the Noncn's bedroom, in the
second story.
Five years ago an aged woman named
Matte Porter was robbed and murdered in
her home within Il mile of the Walker resi-
dcncc. Her murderer used an axe, and he
has never been captured.
