Blow Causes Dismay in Fair One's Heart
Highway robbers and bad men still exist, to the dimay of a woman student, who passes through South Park with her hercert on the way down Friday evening, received a blow in the back of her head.
This student and her companion were just emerging on Massachusetts street from the park, when she felt something strike her head accompanied by a loud, crashing sound, not unlike a riotist shot.
Although dizzed she was not knotted unconscious. "But at first I wasn't sure whether something really hit me, or if a blood-vessel had exploded inside my head," said the unfortunate me.
Her gesture, however, assures that he had heard an ear-splitting crack. He ushed her to the hospital where it was found to be an external wound.
The problem now is to discover that really caused the blow. If a man who was a victim of an attack had fallen and one or the other could, in all probability, have seen it. The victim said that it felt exactly as if someone, had hit her with a heavy gun.
Is the solution then, that someone idling in a tree, struck her with the attention of robbery?
