by Tramp She Was Giving Food.
Little Falls, Mimi, June 10.-Yes-
terday morning tramp came to the
front door of the home of George
Terrell in this city and asked for
something to eat. Mrs. Terrell, who
was alone in the house, left the inner
door open and the screen door hook
ed and went to the kitchen, bringing
back a sack containing food AS she
was about to unlock the screen door
to hand him the food he said:
mo decent woman would ask a
man to eat in the rain"
AS he spoke he made a quick
movement with his hand, which was
resting on the side of the door, and
threw a quantity of carbolic acid
through the screen and into the wom-
ans face.
committed the deed, and no trace OF
him could be found, though within
thirty minutes the police and posse
of citizens were securing the city and
the woods east of the Terrell home
for some trace Of the man.
It was found that no acid had en-
tered Mrs. Ferrelrs eyes, although
the lids are badly burned. Her fore
head, face and neck are also severe
ly burned. The woman is suffering
considerable main from the burns, but
aside from the scars, which probably
will remain, nothing serious will re-
suit
