- Description
- Mabblehead, Feb. 22. Friday afternoon, a tramp called at one of the summer residences on the Neck where Mr. Samuel Doliver is living. Inquiry was made if the man of the house was in. On being answered that he was not at home, the tramp made a desperate assault on Mrs. Doliver, knocking her down, and, doubtless, would have accomplished his villainous purpose but for her terrible struggles and screams. The tramp, fearing assistance might be near, fled. Mrs. Doliver, with wonderful courage and great presence of mind, seized her husband’s revolver, lying nearby, and discharged two barrels through the door after the villain, who managed to escape. Though a careful search was made for him upon Mr. Doliver’s return, he was not found. This is the third attempt at outrage in this town by tramps this week.
