FOUGHT WITH A BURGLAR.

South American Beauty Shows Bravery in a London Hotel. Marguerite Gana, the famous South American beauty, who formerly lived

In Washington, D. C.. had a thrilling experience with a burglar at the Thackeray hotel, at London, England. The man was captured, but the woman well nigh lost her life. The man entered her room and was at her jewel safe when she awoke and discovered him. Without an instant’s hesitation she sprang from her bed and seized him, at the same time shouting for help. The thief struggled and succeeded in drawing a pistol. He attempted to fire it at the woman, but she succeeded in turning it aside. Two shots were fired, both of which lodged in the wall. The noise attracted the servants, who rushed in and subdued the man, who was later given into custody.
