ROUTING A BURGLAR
A FIGHT WITH GOLF CLUBS. PLUCKY WOMAN EXPELS INTRUDER. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, November 17. (Received November 18, 5.5 p.m.) The Daily Express’s Madrid correspondent says that an Englishwomen and her daughter were awakened during the night by an intruder in their residence near Villaread, in the province of Castellos. He declared he loved the daughter and wished to marry her. The girl, guessing he was merely a burglar, seized a golf club and attacked the man fiercely. The intruder snatched another club from the mother’s hand with which he defended himself. The mother fled and returned armed with a revolver, but in the meantime the daughter had been felled by a blow. The intruder next attacked the mother, but fled at the first shot she fired, and was afterwards captured by Gendarmes. The women’s heroism is highly praised.
