Tramps Beat a Woman.
After having received food on Friday morning from Mrs. Annie Kochabo, aged 26, a woman of Hauto, a mining hamlet near Tamaqua, two tramps demanded money. Upon being refused they attacked the woman and beat her in a frightful manner. While the one held her hands the other clubbed her over the head with a revolver. Her scalp was covered with lacerations, one eye was closed and blood flowed from her ears.
She screamed for assistance and struggled desperately to save her life. As footsteps approached in answer to her cries the ruffians made their escape.
Descriptions of the men were wired to all the surrounding towns, and that evening Chief of Police David Rinebold, of Tamaqua, captured two tramps giving their names as Bartley Brown and Edward Collins. They were locked up and will be taken before the injured woman for identification.
