The general filling out of his face

of harshness from him, but also Grad

As one would classify the woodrow

WOMAN DEFENDS HERSELF
WITH PENKNIFE
Aged Lady Assaulted while Eating
Orange in Vacant Middicbury Field

Middlebury. Aug. 3l.-Mrs Sophie A.
Knight of New York city, SO years old,
who with her daughter Anita is spending
the summer at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. IS. Is. AineA of South street, was as
saulted Saturday morning on a vacant lot
where the new hospital os going to be
by an unknown man but was able to drive
him away by hitting him with pen-knife
which she had.
Mrs. Knight was in the habit of taking
a short walk every day for a half to
three-quarters of a mile to this lot, where
she stopped to write letters on a ledge in
the field and to admire the beautiful
view to be seen from the ledge. Satur-
day morning wheu Mrs. Knight was
taking this walk as she passed Porter
Field she met man whom she describes
AZ wearing a dark suit and 4 grey soft
hat. He had q reddish face and carried a
small grip similar to n doctors bag. As
she thought he was one of the workmen
going TO work in the field she paid no at
tention to him.
She went as usual to the ledge and
after writing some letters took from
her handbag an orange and PEN
knife to peel it. She was eating the
orange when the man she had met
back of the ledge. She started TO
scream but as there is no house nearer
than quarter of mile away rea-
lied she must defend herself 80 she
tabled ut him with the pen-knife. At
this he got frightened and started
to run taking the handbag which held
some money. "A watch and some let
ters. The watch was found later in
the field.
AS Mrs. Knight did not return at
her usual time her daughter started
out to find her. She helped her home
and then notified the authorities. They
traced the man by blood on the grass
nearly to the "Three Mile Bridge but
could find no further clue. It is
thought that he was burt badly as
Mrs knight had lot of blood on
her dress and the trail of blood as
far as the bridge was quite distinct.
