Killing TWO Trnmps in Self Defence,
But Herself Mortally Wounded.


RICHMOND, Juno L. Last night a
plucky young widow living near
Tazewell Court House in this State
defeated two tramp rul1inns after O.
fight which cost all three their lives.
About ten o'clock ut night two men
went to the house of Mrs. Becky
Baldwin and asked her to give them
some silver in exchange for notes;
, offering seven dollars of the latter
for five dollars of the former. They
soon left, but returned after she
had retired and broke open the door
and entered her bedroom. She
jumped from the bed and told them
to leavo her room. They demanded
her pocketbook, and threatened
violence if she did not give it. She
won't to her dress, deliberately took
the .pocketbook from it, containing
S2l, and throw it in the fire. One
OF the tramps stopped to got it
out, and she snatched up m axo and
dealt him terrific blow, knocking
him down, quickly following with
other blows, dashing his brains out
on the henrthstone. The second
tramp then drew q dirk knife,
! rushed at her, and stabbed her
twice in the left breast. She dealt
him fearful blow with the axe,
nearly sevcring his right arm near
the shoulder. The miscreant then
fled, leaving q trail of blood
behind him. His dead body was
found this morning two miles from
tho place. A young white man came
by this morning and found Mrs.
Baldwin dying. She told her story,
and died two hours afterwards. Tho
dead bodies of the tramps were
thrown in hog pom, so great was
the indignation of the people in the
vicinity. There were no papers
upon them by which they could be
identified.

FROZEN TO DEAru.-A miner in
the Black Hills, writing to friend
in this city, tells Of horrible
reminder Of the fearful snow storms
of last winter and Of the perils of


those who were caught out and
lost their way on the plains. He
says that recently. while he and two
others were crossing the country,
they came upon the skeleton of
horse within which was the skeleton
of man, with the grinning skull
looking out at thom from between
the ribs of the animal, like O.
prisoner peering through the bars
of his cell. The two skeletons told
the whole story. The man had
killed his horse, cut him open, and
crawlod inside of him, thinking to
thus escape perishing IF cold, but
the flesh Of the animal froze solid
and the man was as much q prison
or rs if he had been shut in by
walls Of iron. The wolves and
carrion birds had stripped the
greater part of the fesh from both
skeletons. The miner concludes
his description by saying: cit was

Gne of the most important
things 10 attend to IN the care
of farm stock of every kind
is that they have access at
all times to salt. In this con
nection we would again call
attention to the bad practice
in vogue with many other
wise good farmers,in that they
salt ir, egularly, and at such
times with too liberal a hand.
Thus animals will gorge them
selves, and this often results
in severe pnrging. Again,
when salt is thrown about on


the ground to be licked up,
the stronger animals get more


than they should and the
weaker ones little or none
Besides this, injury to weak
animals is often the result of
Year: 1878

this struggle. The proper way
to salt stock Is to have the
salt placed under cover, where
they may get it every day if
they wished. In this way
they take just what they want
and no more, and, while ca
ting What is necessary for
them, they nevertake enough
to do them injury. Thus cat
tie will seldom take more
than an ordinary tablespoon
full per day, and this is about
what they require IN summer
as an aid to proper digestion.
