Clofa Blanchette, was passing along ave
nue. C. As she approached the corner or
Royal street she was suddenly approached
from the rear by a young negro apparently
between Is and IA years of age MISS
Dugat was no sooner aware of the presence
of the negro than he laid one hand on her
left shoulder and thrust pistol over her
right shoulder, pointing the muzzle of the
gun directly in the young lady's face AS
he did this the boy commanded her to halt
Miss Dugat promptly reached for the gun
with her right hand and for the negro with
her left. She wrenched the revolver from
his grasp and then ensued hand to hand
negro, during which Miss Dugat endeavored
10 strike him over the head with the gun
Her first impulse was to shoot MIN, but
she held the gun by the barrel and was
unable to shift II so that she could operate
the trigger, and the best she could 40
was TO strike at him. AS she aimed a
blow at the negroes head the gun slippen
from her hand and fell to the ground. Miss
Dugat was easily getting the best OF the
negro by choking him with a firm grip on
the throat, when he turned and by some
means managed to bite her. This caused
her to loosen her grip on him and as she
did so he bolted but not before she reached
for him again and caught hold or his cont
collar. Her grip on the collar was sure,
but the negro quickly slipped ont of the
garment and ESCAPED leaving the young
lady holding the coat.
Miss Dugat reported the thrilling episode
Immediately to the sheriff AM officers are
on the track OF the boy with prospects OF
apprehending him Miss Dugat and Others
familiar with the circumstances believe
that the boy meant to scare her and force
her to give him what money she had. lie
evidently thought she had been TO the
store and would have some money with her,
and that with the pistol he would have
