GIRL THRASHES ROBBER.
SOUNDLY TROUNCES FOOTPAD. There is a very sore footpad in New YorK who will probably think twice before he attacks a girl again.. He met his match the other day in Miss Helen Lang, a Canadian girl of nineteen. She was staying at the Ansonia Hotel, and, as was her custom, was taking a walk just before daybreak. Presently she noticed a man stealthily following her. " Turning upon him. she demanded to know what he wanted. In reply, ho sprang at her,,bat she was too quick for him, and laid about him with her heavy cane. Then, for the whole length of a block of houses, they wrestled, but finally the girl dealt her assailant a blow on the head, which sent him sprawling upon the sidewalk. As he staggered to his feet, she says, she delivered one blow after another, until he fell to the pavement almost unconscious. l After a time he rose and fled. The girl sustained severe bruises on the body and face, and her left eye was injured by 3 blow.
