Howe Happenings

Friday evening a tramp went to the residence of J. M. White, about two miles from here, and asked for something to eat, which
was given him by White's daughter, Alice, she being the only one at home. What she gave did not satisfy him, and he ordered her
to give him milk. She was slow about getting the latter, whereupon the tramp rushed at her and struck her with a stick. Miss Alice quickly seized a Winchester rifle which was sitting close by and opened fire on him. The tramp made good his escape. It is not
known whether she hit him or not.
