WOMAN FIGHTS a. THIEF
Connecticut Wife Shoots Highway
man in fistol Duel
Daughter OF Or. HartwelI. Who Wa
Recently sandbagged, Is Held Up
ON Connecticut Road.

Winsted. Conn., Mrs. Anna Spencer
wife of the Rev. G. A. Spencer,
Greenwich, and daughter Of DR.. An
drew Hartwell, of judas Bridge, wht
was recently sandbagged and robbed
| of $4,000 after he had drawn the money
from bank to buy bogus bonds, was
held up by man on a lonely road in
the outskirts of New Milford.
| The highwayman fred several shots
| at Mrs. Spencer, but she had been OF
her guard since the receipt of a lot OF
! threatening letters by the members OF
| her family, and fred at her assailant,
| probably w0unding Linn.
| Mrs. Spencer drove alone from the
! Hartwell home to New Milford in
the morning and deposited sum Of
money in the bank there. While driv
ing home man who resembled a
tramp in dress emerged from thicket
and grabbed her horse by the bit. The
animal reared, whereupon the man
shot twice at Mrs. Spencer. Neither
| shot took effect.
The highwayman then went back to
the wagon and seized Mrs. Spencer by
the wrist, evidently with the intention
Of r0bbing her of whatever yaluables
she might have. The woman pulled a
twenty-five calibre revolver from her
pocket and shot the highwayman. She
believes the shot took effect in his left
breast. The man Immediately returned
the fire, the bullet grazing Mrs. Spen-
GERS left shoulder and burning a small
hole in her dress. He then ran into the
woods.
Mrs. Spencer drove back to her
fathers home, secured a rifle, and re-
turned to New Milford and notified the
authorities Of the crime The highway
man got about three hours start. A
posse heavily armed, headed by the
Rev. Mr.. Spencer and including every
officer and constable in New Milford,
went out in quest of Mrs. Spencer's
assailant.
Most of those who participated in
the hunt returned to New Milford at
night empty handed. A supposed trail
of blood was found leading from the
road to the woods.
That the attack on Mrs. Spencer was
premeditated develops from the story
told to the authorities by Miss Calvin,
daughter of Edwin Calvin, who says
she was stopped on the same road that
morning by man answering the de-
scription Of Mrs. Spencer's assaiIant
who asked, Are you Mrs. Spencery,
Miss Calvin answered that she was
not, and the man let her drive on.
The Rev. Galen G. Spencer, when
asked about his wife's bravery, said
II am not surprised to hear that she
hit the highwayman, but l wish she
had had larger revolver with her.
She is an expert shot with a rifle,
and when she was in charge Of lonely
school some years ago l taught her
how to shoot with a revolver. / got
her large one, but she could not
handle it well, so / got her a small
pearl-handled one instead. / admire
my wifes pluck, of course. She is
not the kind to faint when anything
happens"

PRINCESS LOUISE ELOPES
Escapes Second Tine With Lieu
tenant Matassich- KegIevitch.
AUTOMOBILE USED BY THE PAIR

Not the Slightest Trace of Whereabouts
Of Them Was Known--she Took Her
Jewels-Was stopping at Bad Ester,
saxony, From which Place she
Disappeared.
Berlin. Germany. = Princess Louise
OF Coburg, whose relations with Kegle-
vich Mattasitch, the former lieutenant
IN the Austrian army, caused great
scandal in European royal circles
seven years ago, and who since had
been Kept under the closest restraint,
has vanished from Bad Elster, where
she has been taking the cure. It is
presumed that the Princess is in the
company Of Mattasitch and is seeking
to gain an asylum where she viii be
safe from recapture.
The escape Of the Princess was ac-
complished III mysterious and roman
tic manner, ladders and a swift auto
mobile being brought into play to effect
her release from the hotel where she
had been immured almost as a prison
er and to convey her to some refuge.
the location of which is as yet a mys-
terry.
Not the slightest traces of the where
abouts of the pair was discoyered4and
nothing was known beyond the fact
that the Princess and another guest of
hotel, believed to have been Malta
stitch. have disappeared and with them
the jewels of the Princess and an auto
mobile.
On account of the long lapse of time
since the original scandal the watch on
the Princess had become slightly re-
taxed, but it was made more stringent
than ever when it was noticed that eff
forts to communicate with the Princess
personally and through the medium Of
notes were being made.
Nevertheless, arrangements for the
fight were successfully completed, and
the room of the Princess was found
empty. Various surmises as to her
destination were afloat, and it is said
that orders have been given to watch
the borders of Bavaria, Austria. France
and Switzerland.
The first elopement Of the Princess
Count Mattasitch, a lieutenant in the
Austrian army, caused sensation in
European court circles. She is the eld-
est daughter Of King Leopold, who.
since her elopement, has sought to
show that she was insane.
The Princess was sent to a secret
sanitarium. She was really prison
er. There King Leopold kept her in
close confinement, permitting no one to
see her and forcing her to live in COM
parative want.
Mattasitch has made several at
tempts to rescue the Princess. Last
April he made the attempt in an auto
mobile, but failed. A month later he
believed he had her guards bribed.
But be overlooked one, who exposed
the conspiracy.
At the death of the Queen of Bel
GUM. her mother, King Leopold openly
snubbed the Princess, refusing to per-
nit her to attend the funeral services.
